Are you living other people's lives? Are you living other people's dreams?
If you are not living your own life, then what are you waiting for?
Do not wait for anyone. Life is yours to live. If you are not living it, you are wasting it.
But do not waste it. Your life is important to all of us. Do something great with your life.
Do not hide behind fear. Get out of your comfort zone. Do do something significant,
something that no one can take away from you.
Change your life. If you do not like where you are, then do something about it.
Do not live other people's dreams. Do not live an 'inherited life.'
You have the power to create your own life. You can. You do that by paying attention to what you do
every day. If what you are doing is not making you, it is breaking you.
As the saying goes, 'If you want to change your life, you must change what you do every day.'
If not, your life is not going to change.
When it comes to your own life, you can do the same. If you do not want to live an inherited life,
then create your own life. Werner Erhard said, 'Until what is significant is created by you, you aren't living your own life, you are living some inherited life.'' Do not do that. You can create your own life.
You are not here to live an inherited life. You are here to live your own life.
To do that, you are going to have to create something significant. You can do it.
Tell yourself, “I can do this.” That is how you control fear. You control it by taking action to change things in your life. Fear does not respect talk. Fear respects action. Fear and action cannot coexist. When you take action, fear disappears. According to Alvah Bessie, “Fear is real and there is nothing you can do about it except to keep functioning, keep your hands and legs and body moving, your mind focused on the task at hand.” To get things done, don’t focus on fear. It is there, but do not let it put you in your comfort zone. Do not accept it. Because you are better than your comfort zone. You are here to move, to work, to live, not to get stuck in a rut. Baruch Spinoza said, “Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.” Be hopeful that things will get better. Yes, no one can predict the future. But if you work really hard right now, if you concentrate on the task at hand, you can create your own future. You can do it. Don’t make things hard for yourself. Simplify your life. Make things easy, not difficult. Do what you haven’t done before. Try different things. Do not worry about failure, worry about not doing anything to change your situation. Take on new projects. Meet new people. Stretch your brain. Create thinking time for yourself. Hang out with people who are fearless. When you are always with confident people, your level of confidence will increase. Be around people who are smarter than you are. Above all, “always do what you are afraid to do.”
