Man. It can be tempting to just throw your hands into the air, curse your circumstances, and blame everyone and the world for not teaching you this or preparing you for that.
Anxiety. Addiction. Discipline. Depression. Relationships. Kids. Property. Taxes. Insurance. Medications. Death. Disease. Loneliness… Each curveball feels like it comes with avengeance, always from new angles, and only with increased intensity.
And you know what?
Nobody is coming to change that.
Nobody is coming to save you.
Nobody is coming to knock on your door and offer you the Living With Ease 101 Guidebook.
And while this might sound grim or deflating… you know what?
At least it will get you out of the mindset of waiting.
Because too many of us are waiting for somebody to come along and do exactly those things… change our frustrating circumstances for the better… save us from curveballs of life… knock on our door and give us the answers to all of our current problems.
The sooner we can acknowledge that we’re waiting to be saved… the sooner we can snap out of it and begin saving ourselves.
Because while, sure, you hopefully have people in your life who are helping you out… ultimately, they have their own curveballs to figure out. And waiting for them to figure out theirs and then figure out yours, too, isn’t a good long-term strategy.
The long-term strategy that works is taking ownership, taking action, learning from errors, and repeating forever onward.
It’ll take just as much time as waiting.
…And return a helluva lot more on your time invested.
