The more you think...
I was thinking of writing another blog post. I was thinking about changing careers. I was thinking about starting a family. I was thinking about buying a new car. I was thinking...
It can be so comfortable to think about things, about actions, and about the future. It can quietly become a habit we are not even aware of. It feels like you are being slowly cooked in warm water. You think and think, and plan and think... And then one day, you look back and wonder, “Where am I? Is this really my life? Was it me who was living this?”
It feels like you were thrown from outer space. And again, you think about changing something. About taking action. About being different.
Then you realise that thinking has become part of your nature, and that changing your nature is not as simple as you might think at first. You are scared of going out of that cosy comfort zone. It feels so nice and warm in here. The outside world is full of scary, crazy people who might hurt you.
But at this point, all other doors are closed. Only those leading away from a cosy, warm, comfortable life are not fully locked. Only those doors lead to a life with less thinking and more action. To a life you will be proud of when you look back in a few years.
Every decision that takes you out of your comfort zone takes you closer to the life you keep thinking about.
So stop waiting for the perfect moment and start creating it. Open the door.
Stay awesome!
