A Brief History (...and End) of Nearly Every Limiting Belief
If being content was everything, this caveman had a great life on his own
And if having a great life was everything life was about, he wouldn’t have really changed!
But then, if it was not about being satisfied, but on the other end, if only complaining would have gotten us somewhere
We wouldn’t have hated that neighbour next door so much.
Because every time we want to stop complaining and act on something – we’re told that it’s been done before. Sometimes even by people we know or parents who think it is okay in order to keep us safe from harm
Or sometimes we’re just too scared to get caught trying to do things and being found out
And maybe no one in the society considers what we dream and aspire to be as normal, let alone understand us.
Perhaps what we’re trying to even do has never been done before. And how can others or, in little moments, we believe it’ll work when no one has ever seen it before?
So here is a random fact. This is the number of people in the world.
And this is the number of lives you got. And that is the exact number of people with your background, your ideas, your conviction and number of people who believe in your idea to the deepest core.
And so when you’re satisfied or dissatisfied, and no one cares, but you have an epiphany, and you do it anyway.
Maybe that is what life is about. To Do it Anyway.
