Choosing Between Nothingness or Attempting To Change Lives.
"Nothing" is just about the riskiest thing you can do today.
Lack of resources or opportunities is not the biggest of your problems. Your personal fears are.
Everyone knows this. But most of us spend most of our time doing nothing and being afraid.
There is a funny sitcom you bump into while aimlessly surfing channels. That's nothingness.
A funny discussion on facebook. That's nothingness.
Tweeting about where you ate yesterday and how you hang out with friends. Nothingness.
A long phone conversation on politics with a friend. Some more of serious nothingness.
Why don't you drop nothingness and work on something meaningful that has a "potential" of changing lives? Maybe you do not do that because:
- Your lizard brain is afraid of failing?
- Your lizard brain is afraid of succeeding and things around you changing too rapidly?
- You are just way too comfortable doing nothing and your lizard brain doesn't want to give up that comfort?
- Nothingness gives you a temporary high and your fears allow you to feel sorry about yourself?
Failing, being made fun of, being doubted, being questioned, being criticized and being called a looser are all better than letting your fears get the best of you, hiding behind discussions, meaningless conversations on facebook and doing.... nothing.
Is facebook, television, conversations and endless arguments a back door for your fears or a hiding place for your lizard brain?
Be honest to yourself when you answer that question and if the answer is yes, try to drop these and work on something meaningful.
Next weekend you're going to have a choice between doing something meaningful and aimlessly surfing your television.
Which one are you going to pick?
Just a little something to think about.
