TAKING A PUNT ON THE FUTURE
Mar 17, 2024 6:00 pm
You want to try something new??
You've got nothing to lose
You've got everything to gain
What is there to lose?
You try something, you get a result
YOU make the result positive or negative in meaning
Just getting a result is a step in the right direction, because you tried something new
But people make up all kinds of complicated things in their mind
Phycological dramas
Put imagined pressure on themselves
You don't have to
It is completely under your control how you approach a task or a new venture
So now you've tried something and got a result out of it
That's growth
Now you are in a different place
Now you are different to the person you were
Before you were a person who didn't try things
Now you are a person who does try things
WIN WIN
This isn't just simple words
This is real
This is your life we are talking about here
You've got to back yourself
No one else will....
Imagine being on your bed
You're 85 years old
Looking back at your life
You'll say 'I wish I had done more'
I wish I had tried more
I wish I was more brave
I wish I didn't care what other people thought
You have to get real and serious here for a minute
So why don't we try?
Why don't we change?
Deep down..
We want to stay the same..
Why?
We don't want to upset anyone
You think you are the way you are and that is that
That's the way you should be until you die
People expect you to behave a certain way
But you know what??
You don't owe your life to other people
You are under no obligation to be who you were 5 mins ago
Who said you have to be the same?
Imagine seeing a friend who you haven't seen in years
They look great
They changed their life
You wonder how they did it....
Did that person inspire you or produce feelings of envy within you?
Have a wee think about that
You can change your outlook
EVERYONE CAN
You have been programmed to behave a certain way
But by thinking critically about it
You don't have to behave in a certain way forever
You can change how you view life at any time...
Try something new...
