When we ask “should I do” this or that, we’re enabling the habit of pretending to take action.
I have a friend who works at a local television station news program. I have a show to promote. Obviously, asking how to get on the show is something I should do.
Except, I had to think about it. Think through all the implications. I haven’t done a TV interview in a while. I don’t want my friend to think I’m taking advantage of our relationship. Blah blah blah…
I asked him. I’ll be on the 7 am morning newscast the Friday of opening weekend.
Opportunity is. It isn’t everywhere. It isn’t magic. No amount of positive thinking can bring more to us. It just is.
If I choose to seek out the opportunities that fill my environment, I’ll see them. If I choose to begin from the assumption that there aren’t many opportunities, and worse, that most of them are too risky, I’ll fail to pick up on the opportunities that surround me.
That’s the secret of positive thinking. If I seek I find. If I don’t seek, I can’t hope to find.
How about you? Trust yourself and your community. Act. Now. We’re waiting on you to bring something special to the table.
Very cool stuff from NOVA. This science-y link takes you to a game where you are given a picture of an embryo, then asked to identify which of four animals it will develop into. I like it!
John, the main character of Born Again Yesterday, has a video blog. In this edition, he gets a little concerned about the End Times.
