Dream A Little Dream.
Be Afraid. Be Very, Very, Afraid.
The Chance of a Lifetime.
The Sky is Falling… The Sky is Falling.
These are some messages we get in this life. In this society. Among many others…. which can be totally contradictory.
Which brings me to this. Are you a logical thinker, or a creative thinker…. or a little bit of both. I think most people are both. I am…. I think. Therefore I am. Yep.
Lately, I’ve been wondering about this. Many people give up on their true goals and ambitions only to settle for things in life which they are not so thrilled about. Mostly…. because it appears to be good insurance. You know… a job, a relationship, a habit.
Most of the time… we seem to like things to be status quo. We sort of settle for circumstances that will at least keep us where we are… or slightly better than the next guy. This is what society… and logical thinking… tells us. There are the things we are “supposed” to do to be fulfilled and happy.
Dude’s with funny names often come up with good quotes. So. As Deepak Chopra said, “The universe has no restrictions. You place restrictions on the universe with your expectations.”
If we could only believe this statement to be true. If we took the ball and ran with it. If we could just start expecting to live the life we have always wanted. Would it become an actuality?
Now… this next one… I am learning from our chickens. In all honesty, I was highly familiar with it before the New Hampshires came to eat and poop here. Also… before they were acting like big chickens… or Chicken Little.
And here it is….. The single most debilitating emotion we as humans possess is fear.
There are so very many fears to list. It could be fear of change, fear of failure, fear of what others think of us. Or maybe we fear of success. It seems that fear is undoubtedly the biggest thing that holds us back from going after our hopes, our goals, our dreams.
Fear often disguises itself as logical thinking. “That could be risky… blah, blah, blah.”
If we are always expecting things to “not be that great”…. then how in the heck can we expect any differently? Things can be great…. I think. We limit our existence. Right there and then.
But. If we try thinking creatively…. we open ourselves up to all sorts of possibilities. New and different solutions, and ways of doing things. We can start to recognize opportunities for growth and …. and utilize our specific gifts and talents.
I hope this next part is true. Because a lot of big thinkers… have said it before. The universe wants us to be happy and in love with our lives. IT… the whole clockworks of IT…. needs you to be….. and me to be me. And we to be we. Each one of us has our very own gifts and talents… everything that makes us completely unique. And when we see it… use it… and share it… we our giving our gift to humanity. To one another.
