Permission To Think

Today, this site is a newborn.

I look forward to the future when this site becomes a catalyst for change.

I used to think that anyone that said they had a calling in life was a little bit crazy. I mean, how do you just feel pulled to do one thing. It seems so confining. I believed this, until I had my own.

Recently (and I say recently relatively, this has been for a year or two now), I had one of my own. Or I’m having one. However it works.

My calling? Do everything in my power to leave this world better than I entered it. Am i crazy? I hope not. Just optimistic.

Today I want to share with you my first major breakthrough: Everyone is capable of greatness if they just ignore their own excuses. It is my belief that every single person knows the right decision to make in every situation. So why are so many bad decisions made? Things like excuses, justifications, or compromises. We know the right answer, but it’s often hard, so we convince ourselves that that’s the wrong answer. We find a way to trick our mind to justify the easier choice. We make that the best choice, and we pay the consequences for that, whether those consequences are external or just in our minds (ie. guilt).

I speak from experience when I say that making the choice that you know is right is not only far more satisfying, but it becomes much easier to make the more you make it. Maybe it’s the high that’s associated with knowing that the choice you made has made you a better human being.

Why am I bringing this up now? Lately I’ve become more and more intolerant of people not living up to their potential.

THIS IS YOUR ONLY SHOT AT LIFE. EVERY DAY YOU DON’T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IS ONE LESS DAY TO BE TRULY HAPPY. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

STOP WASTING TIME.
