Many people go through life following a certain pattern: They try something, realize it is too hard, stop, start wishing harder, try again, fail again, wish harder still, and keep hoping things will change eventually.
In the back of everyone’s mind there is that tiny shimmer of hope that we might be discovered like Harrison Ford, working at a gas Station and becoming a star actor, or that we go to some Idol show and become the newest name around.
The more failures we encounter or the worse life gets the more likely it is we hope for this kind of a change in our lives.
We hope, believe, pray for, wish for or even demand that life needs to get better. But we do not demand it of ourselves!
We demand our partner to make us happy, our passion to bring us bliss, our job to bring us security and our future to bring us unending joy.
Some of us believe in this notion so hard that we avoid looking at the reality of what is currently happening.
The reality that there is no one out there looking for us, that we may not be destined for greater things, and that no one even seems to care.
Now, I do not want to get anyone down and pessimistic and miserable with this, I just want to be real!
You are not special. You are not a hero that will suddenly be called upon. You are not going to be discovered. You are not going to be saved. Nothing is guaranteed to change.
If your life is crap then it will stay crap unless you do something about it.
It’s not that these things cannot happen to you; they might! But the chance is too small for you to bet your entire life and all your happiness on it!
Of course you may find that one person that can see behind your mask and get you to where you were always meant to be.
Of course you could be discovered at a Gas Station like Harrison Ford was and become the next big actor or actress! You could even win the lottery.
It’s all possible, but even those things are only possible if you do something for it.
You will not find that person sitting on your couch all day, be discovered at a gas station if you never work there and cannot win the lottery if you never buy a ticket.
We all understand this yet we do so little to actually improve our own lives and make us happier.
We say that no one cares but never open up enough for anyone to actually know what is going on.
We say we are unhappy or depressed but never seek professional help or stick with any of the hundreds of tips long enough to actually make a difference.
We say we want to be wealthier and more secure but never pick up a book on finance or how to make more money or become better at our job.
We say that we want to be healthier and more active but do not want to exercise or diet until we see a change.
And we say we want to find our passion and follow it but never actually sit down to think about what that means.
We want so many things but do so little, in the expectation that we will stumble upon it somehow somewhere.
But the truth is that this will not happen on it’s own.
No one can know you need help if you don’t tell them, the world can not give you what you ask for if you never get in a situation where it can happen to you and you cannot change anything about your life if you just keep doing the same things night and day.
If you want to lead a happier, more fulfilled, more passionate life then you have to make a change first.
You have to do something and point the finger at yourself and save yourself.
Even then you are never guaranteed to get anything but you will place your bets on something with a far higher chance to work!
Stop waiting for something to come from nothing and stop waiting for life to work itself out for you, it doesn’t owe you anything.
Accept that. Deal with it. And then do something about it!
