Hey Fools.
Do you ever have those days where you wish you could just disappear? Even just for a day, you could be someone different, somewhere else.
The reason most of us don’t succeed is we’re addicted to failure.
Obviously I don’t mean failure in the sense of poor performance, but there is something to the human condition when it comes to holding onto familiarity.
Failure is familiar.
What makes success so hard is keeping that corny optimistic mindset– it isn’t natural. Maybe it’s just me, but apart of me looks down on it. And yeah, I’m naturally cynical, but I fear naïve. So every time I get close to changing, I stop short because I somehow think this skeptical attitude keeps me safe.
And at one point it did, but today all it does is keep me alone and depressed.
So, I’m changing.
I’m not going to go all law of attraction on you, but it really is attitude. If we’re playful and bold, life resembles and becomes more of an adventure, if we’re lame and depressed, life becomes meta– where you live vicariously through the shows you watch.
We’re here for far too short of a time to live angry and unhappy. I don’t want to be one of those people, I don’t want to hate my life.
This is the best time to be alive and most of us can’t realize it– because we’re stuck in our heads, fighting an unwinnable fight.
My solution?
To change.
It’s cornbread, but the only way to actually be better is to fake it till you make it. Fake optimism, fake playfulness, just embrace the now and act as the person you want to become.
You’ll fake it now, but eventually– you’ll meet the person you want to become.
From one Fool to Another,
#StayFoolish
