Day 226: On Waiting to Be Save
d
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
It’s easy to fall victim to the belief that you need to wait for someone or something to save you.
You won’t start a business unless you find an investor or a mentor. How about starting your business on a shoestring and learning along the way?
You won’t change your eating habits unless you find the right diet that was designed by a world-famous dietitian. How about eating more vegetables and fruits and eliminating unhealthy foods from your diet, one by one?
You won’t start exercising unless you find the right coach. How about putting on your sneakers and going for a walk or dropping to the ground and doing a few pushups?
You won’t start a long-term relationship unless the perfect, flawless person appears in your life. How about looking for a potential partner yourself, accepting that nobody is perfect, and committing to the other person as they are — with all of their positive traits and also their flaws?
Don’t wait to be saved. You yourself must walk your own path. Use the resources offered by other people when you have access to them, but don’t use them as crutches.
