TODAY’S THOUGHT

HOW MUCH YOUR TALENT IS WASTED FOR
A WANT OF A LITTLE BOLDNESS?

TODAY’S TAKEAWAYS

• Its your choice, yours alone what you will do with the rest of your life.
• People don’t change when they feel good, they change when they are fed up.
• It’s futile to live in some past phase of your life.
• Others attempt to live cautiously in the safety of established patterns. They do not feel fulfilled, yet they have found a formula not of success (whatever that is), but of avoiding failure.
• When we reach beyond the safety and familiarity of our habits and behave in any way differently than our routines, we experience some tension
• Many people try to insure themselves against every possible danger. They want to never hurt, never be scared, never be lonely
• BOREDOM IS THE LEGACY OF FEAR.
• Risk taking is a major part of the “cure” so don’t hope that somehow, you’ll be able to avoid it
• If we think about the possible consequences of a new change too long, the rats of fear come out of our mental basements and may overwhelm us.
• We are given time, how much we make of it is up to us.
• Chronic capitulation to fear only insures mediocrity.
• It’s an attitude where you expect chance-taking to be part of what you’re doing on this planet.
• if you get locked into outcomes, you’ll never be able to let yourself go long enough to experience intensely.
• “I tried magnificently. I’m proud of me. I was truly immersed in the effort. 1 failed in my attempt; 1 accept that; I accept the pain. But 1 remain proud and love myself for my courage.
• Have the guts to face the light. Strive for as much courage as you can. That doesn’t mean work yourself to the bone. Play is a vital need too. But don’t wait for neat formulas, guaranteed tricks to solve your problems. Have the courage to live a life where some days will be hard and some easy no matter how clever you are. Let go with love and energy will fill you. Success is courageously living each moment as fully as possible. Success means the courage to flow, struggle, change, grow, and all the other contradictions of the human condition.
• Success means being true to you.
