There's nothing healthy about sitting in the corner with a mind and an ego that's bruised, hurting and... FROZEN WITH INACTION!
Here's an idea - what if we said... screw conformity, screw passivity, screw tiptoeing around with what we're up to in life....And then we decided to saddle up and say... "Let's Ride!!"
Wouldn't that be reckless as well as a whole heap of... FUN?
But see, isn't that a more exciting action based thing to do than simply mulling over a bunch of things that creates NON ACTIVITY, all channelled though a form of sophisticated dithering?
I'm reminded today about a group of people I had the valuable privilege of sharing an intense six months relationship with. A coaching mastermind programme run by Steve Chandler, with 9 of the smartest, kindest and most authentically REAL people that have come into my experience.
When we met up in Arizona some 5 years ago, one of the 9, Scott, a powerful man with a solid marketing brain, bought in a Harley Davidson ad (or was it a t-shirt?) that said...
And see, when you read the instruction, you won't find any hidden meanings and you won't have to consult a psychologist or psychiatrist or take any kind of brain or psychometric test to help you decipher the instruction - it's pretty clear, simple and straight forward don't you think?
So let's say you've been contemplating moving forward with a project - whether a business or a personal one - and you've been dilly dallying with it for a good few months - screw it, get it into action! because obviously, the passive, non-action way, the one you've bought into, subscribed to, invested yourself into... just isn't working!
If you've a communication you've toyed with and dibbled and dabbled with and you still haven't sent it out into the marketplace - screw it and send it out! Good enough is good enough. The more time you spend trimming and beautifying and enhancing it, you're NOT impacting anyone. Your audience canNOT read a communication which... doesn't get sent!
So Screw It, Let's Ride... it has such a majestic ring and beauty and simplicity about it that wouldn't it be cool if there was a university called the Screw It Let's Ride University, where only those who have dropped their inner BS yammering and who have chosen to now live an action oriented life, could enrol? Wouldn't that just be the best university in the world to go, to send our kids to, a REAL place to go to instead of twittering and fakebooking and 'liking' a good, happy and productive life?
I'm not sure how many enrollers we'd get but I'm sure those who DO enrol, would raise a glass to their old ways and say... Screw It, Let's Ride!
