Did it ever happen to you that you’ve watched a memorable video that has someone talking about his life journey, or some theory, and it really resonated with you? You wanted to be like that person, feel like that, have similar view of the world…? It might not be a video. You might have been in somebody’s company and that had the same effect. Perhaps you’ve been reading some random or deliberate quote and you’ve felt the connection between that quote and your current life situation? You felt like doing something and for a moment it was clear what do you want and how you’ll achieve that?
But, then life happened. Different people, circumstances, quotes and videos. Different life stories. And you stayed within your everyday conscious world, with the same limitations, doubts and worries. You already forgot that video. And the quote. And that person that seemed to be different and nudged you to break those limitations, to see yourself and the world differently. You slipped back into the routine, into more of the same perception of the same reality, same problems and solutions, you feel could be better.
So, what are you going to do now?
How is it possible that the same person has this great drive and knows exactly how should a change look like, intuitively is certain what is the right path, and then doesn’t ever try taking that path? It is not about giving up, if you think a bit harder. Because that would mean you started and then stopped. No, you don’t even start. You see, feel, imagine a change, and that change is stopped before is starts.
I often hear you don’t know how. You don’t know if it is the right path. You don’t know what will happen. Maybe you don’t know what do you want anymore (although you can taste the feeling you’d want). It’s been a long time since you’ve honestly and passionately searched for your own pleasure, rebelled and risked (who knows what) to feel the richness of life. And now, within the uncertainty of life, you want certainty. In always changeable world within and outside of you, you want a guarantee. Guarantees go with TV-s and dishwashers, not with life aspirations. Certainty exists in the same place as predictability and boredom. A that is – predictable and boring.
So, what are you going to do now?
There are no guarantees. No certainty. You can’t know upfront. We search the knowledge by asking, not by getting the answers. Thoughts can be a starting point, but only by action you’ll create a change. When you feel that drive next time, when you feel attachment to some idea or person and when only for a moment you know what is good for you, do something. It doesn’t have to be big. Make a crack in the frame of your life to make a creative moment and start a change you desire. Start. Just one thing will encourage the other. Every time when you feel you can. Soon, you will be able to do more and more.
