Bring Purpose Day 3
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2023 1:08 pm
(Pardon the dramatic opening, but you know me. LOL) You were terrifyingly correct about the Zombies! Me and my humankind walk the earth as Zombies.
Yesterday, I looked closer at people as they moved through their day, and it was Blah, Blah, Blah everywhere. It seems an 'event' is how you even know anyone is still alive. Whether it be a physical collision, a collision of egos, a presentation, a party or something to incite excitement.
I noticed people living, and I decided not to beat myself up as I have lived in the same soup. The movies would have us believe that a Zombie apocalypse will be caused from some super virus. Nope! It's here now.
We are fortunate that you don't need praise to do your work because it is the foundation for the turnaround of the way things are trending. I'm not just saying this to kiss up. I kind of experienced it when I chose what I would bring to my day yesterday. I really don't think people know that one can choose in this way.
I have a long way, but the difference is, and thank you forever, I don't need to be in a hurry because I don't need to get somewhere. I'm seeing the job as bringing the most to wherever I am. Turns out to be far less stressful.
As for today's article, I heard something that you've said before but didn't grab. Trim-tabbing vs. Jerking (Taking Massive Action).
Because I have stuffed my little head with the talks of so many of these performance enhancing gurus, the words 'take massive action' were always chasing me or perhaps dragging me. Something nagging, at least.
At the risk of going a little long here, I want to share something I saw in half of a movie called 'Nyad' on Netflix. This 60 year old woman who broke swimming records in her youth, decided that-after 30/40 years of inactivity- in order to be satisfied with her life, she had to swim a near impossible distance fraught with dangers.
On the surface, it looks like bravery, maybe a triumph of the human spirit and such. However, I saw that she was without a Self. She berated herself for not challenging herself to do the near impossible. She complained of life being basically humdrum without such a challenge.
Now, to be clear, I think she is correct in that life is blah with nothing to go for, but what I think most people will miss is that undertaking a MASSIVE feat that punishes your body to maybe permanent damage or risking near death is not a sustainable way to live. If I may say so (No ESS).
It's fun and moving to cheer for the underdog, but the underdog is not an underdog in reality. In reality, the so-called underdog is someone who takes where they are as something wrong and then puts on a massive effort to defeat the obstacle which, if defeated, doesn't provide lasting fulfillment.
I have always cheered for the Nyads of the world. I just didn't know that through trim-tabbing, I would have been able to achieve so much more in life, even if my campaigns were huge like Nyad's.
