Can You Make The Real Choices That Will Change Your World?

The world in which we live in… is a consequence of a series of good and often poor choices… predominantly poor… by people who often think they are intelligent.

Now intelligence seems to always be a prized asset… yet people seem to fail to understand the real power of ignorance and its comparison to stupidity.

Now… in my world, I have no issue being called ignorant, and quite frankly… at times I am happy to say that I am the ‘King of Ignorance’…

I know…. you’re going to say that that is a pretty stupid thing to say… but unless you understand where I am coming from with this assertion… then it would be me that would question your… let me say… your judgement…

You see… what ignorance means to me, is that when I needed to know something… I hadn't learnt a skill when I might have, or didn't have the ability or tools to get the knowledge or information that I needed to perform a specific task.

HOWEVER, when I recognise that I have a lack of knowledge in a particular field for which I am participating, I often placed in a position where I need to make a decision… yes a choice… and that is to learn what I need know, so that the next time I am asked to perform a similar task I can do so without the same challenges.

REALITY CHECK (this is where I get a bit blunt)...

Those of you who have the opportunity to make these choices and choose to ignore them... and carry on as if nothing has happened are not ignorant... you are just plain stupid.

As articulated by Forest Gump in the movie of the same name...?"Stupid is, as stupid does!"

You all have a choice... you can either choose to do something, learn and grow… or not to do anything at all... you can also make a choice not to make a choice.

Each choice... no matter what it is WILL have a consequence.

But there is one choice that is worth thinking about... are you worthy of being called ignorant (in the appropriate context of course), even for a very short time... or do you choose to fall on the side of stupid... because if you do… please take responsibility for the situations in your life, because the only person to blame is the person that looks back at you in the mirror everyday.

You can change the world… but first you have to change yourself.

NOW…

You might have to consider making another decision…

To grow or not to grow... to change (yep... there's that word again), or not to change...

To create… building something up, creating something new or… stay exactly where you are?

These decisions are simple... but not easy... and the journey will always have it's challenges... no matter what you choose to do and when.

However, the rewards are unparalleled....

Remember the decision that you make for your future, in this very moment, is totally in your hands...

Choose well, but choose... because the choice too many people make, is to simply not make a choice.

That decision will keep you where you are now… and if you don't like where you are… the choice is easy.

Quote of the Week

“If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap. If you want happiness for a day — go fishing. If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a life time — help someone else.” — Chinese proverb

(Happiness isn’t something that’s achieved, it’s a skill that’s cultivated and practiced daily. It’s mastery comes from serving others.)
