Am I insane? Or just acting like it?
When I was planning the next stage of my life recently, I was reminded of one of the definitions of Insanity. As I study self-improvement and personal development a lot, I thought I knew better than to do something insane. Well, I must be thick headed because it took me a long time to realize that I was doing and thinking in a way I advise others not to.
What did I do?
As I approach retirement I’ve been brainstorming how I can create another source of income to help out. For several years now I’ve been seeking ways to do this online. I’ve had one specific idea that keeps coming up in my thoughts. I made detailed plans to start it, I’m really good at that.
During my days off and in the evenings I make a TO DO list and this online thing was always on the list. The sad thing is, I never get around to working on it. Instead, I go grocery shopping, work in the yard, take care of the house, study about online income, relax, and think about it, a lot! But, I never get to actually DOING something about it. It’s always a dream I’ll do some day.
See the problem yet? Well, the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing (ie. nothing but planning) over and over again expecting the results to Change. In other words, I expected the business to just sorta happen. Insane, I know.
The moral of this story is if you keep thinking about it, you keep saying you’ll do something about it and you keep doing this over and over and nothing happens, then get the message, whatever it is ISN’T RIGHT FOR YOU! This is God and the Universe and your inner spirit trying to tell you that this isn’t the BEST thing for you. It’s time to meditate and be quiet and listen to your heart and hear the messages being sent to you. It means a delay, like you’re starting over again (remember I/you never really DID anything) and you have to think more creatively to find what’s right for you. Each of us have special talents to share with the world. Use them to make the world a better place.
So, stop beating your head against the wall wondering why a job, or girlfriend or opportunity isn’t working out for you. It means there’s something better coming to you. Open the Air Waves and your heart and mind and get ready for an exciting ride.
