I need
to remember this. Having a lot of choices only keeps you away from your goals. Just
thought I’d share an insight during my time here. The problem with thinking
that you have too many choices could be a great loss of strength for a
meaningful goal. Fear keeps us away from pursuing into thinking that we need to
go after only one main goal. So we intrinsically go after several, either out
of the desire for more of ‘life’, or as a backup plan in case we fail at Plan A.
We immediately ride on the programmed way of thinking we have a plan B and plan
C, and yes, we’re efficient in thinking about those. That gives us a sense of
control.
It doesn’t
hurt to have a plan B and C mapped out in a small corner, but the riveted effect
of you giving them too much importance is that you don’t take plan A too
seriously. Fear and the necessitated desire for half-living always cripple your
courage. Plan A will seem like this impossible (but good to have) “dream” that
you need to try out once in life, because those sentimental quotes and proverbs
about not dying with any regrets made your heart tickle a little bit. We
misread words to fit our bubble of thinking, and we would rather be brave in
small matters than larger ones. I believe that the successes we see around us
are the result of those people thinking they didn’t have a plan B. But again,
those people also had all the body parts which signify courage (for the
unfamiliar I am referring to gut, balls and cheek). We only have to follow
through on our courage. So, I think it is time to chuck all the plan B’s.
Lets see
what can I do with this thought. What can you do with it?
