If your heart is longing for something greater, you've come to the right place...
In today's fast moving world, convenience sells. When you're hungry, you just dial the delivery line for fast food. When you're bored, it's so easy to get yourself entertained. You just push on your TV's remote control and you could flick through channels from around the world (when you have cable TV) . You could download movies, books, songs and games. You could spend all day absorbed in social media; keeping updated with lives of celebrities, your family and friends. Then, another day is done, what have you achieved for yourself? What have you done better for the world today? The world needs us to awaken to our greater selves. How come we're doing nothing to live up to our great potential? Here are my thoughts:
1. We keep accepting, we forget to give. We take in all that excess information we're fed. We forget to use our unique abilities and skills. We forget to live our lives. We get so engrossed with what we see on TV. Instead of cultivating our relationships in real life, we would rather know how our favorite fantasy character is doing on TV.
2. We surrender our dreams. We're seduced by the charms of "fast money" and what it can buy for us. We give up our dreams for temporary delights. Happiness is found in living our dreams. Have courage to claim your dreams. You'll get more productive and possibly help in creating a better world when you're doing what you love to do.
3. We undervalue ourselves. You're worth more than you think. Take pride in yourself. Don't risk yourself for something that would sabotage you. Consider the consequences of every action you take. If it won't yield good results, please think twice.
4. We stay stuck. Your feet aren't planted on soil or sticky glue. You haven't come to the end of the road. If what you love doesn't love you back, do something else. There's still time to make life the way you want it to be. While you're alive, you can develop yourself. Learn new skills. Travel. Keep going and growing.
5. We get content with the way things are. We're afraid of change and how it would affect us. But, if we don't change anything, how will we get to be the person we want to be?
Why do nothing? Do something meaningful with your life. You deserve better than what convenience can give you. Create your own thing. At the end of the day, it feels much better to produce something yourself. When you make a change for yourself, other people will do the same and follow suit. But, don't do it for them. Do it for yourself because you deserve something far greater.
