You can be happy - Stop Sabotaging Yourself
Wednesday 27th, August 2008

'I don't have time to write.' 'I can't dance.' 'I can't talk to new people.' 'I'm not attractive.'

I hear this all the time. I always hear the people around me sabotaging themselves, drawing lines and borders and boxes around themselves.

To which I say, make the time; dance; just talk to people; be attractive!

Yes, again, it's simplistic of me to say that. But it's simplistic of you to so easily say what you cannot do!

We're excellent pattern-matchers. That's what the human mind does â?? it's a pattern-matching engine. So we look at ourselves, at our history, at our behaviors, and we draw straight lines between the points â?? we assume that just because we've done things a certain way in the past, we'll always do them that way in the future. If we've failed before, we'll always fail.

Screw that.

Surprise yourself. No amaze yourself.

You don't have to keep doing the things you hate. Why go home and beat yourself up for, say, not going over and saying a few words to someone you find really attractive? Can any damage they could do to you by rejecting you possibly be any worse than the damage you're going to do to yourself for missing the chance?
