The Art of Complacency

WARNING:  This post is not for the faint of heart!

There is no magic formula.  There is no 1, 2, 3 step program.  There is no book you can read.  And there is no therapist who can fix what is destroying your hope and stealing your future.  Any of those things are simply tools - they don't create the change and freedom you seek.  YOU DO!

We have become complacent. 

We think if we have read that book we have done something.
We think if we hold a heated conversation about a volatile topic we have done something.
We think if we attended the meeting, or sat through the conference we have done something.
We think if we enact that new law, we have done something.

And things remain the same.  Complacency.

It kills new ideas.
It repeats patterns that bring destruction.
It breeds hopelessness and despair.
It diverts us from our potential and power.

You have to come out of complacency!
You need to be discontent and unwilling to accept the status quo. 
No longer is it okay to only identify what is in your way of change, i.e. fear, rejection, insecurity.  If you want to change your life and thus change the world in which you live YOU will look at that obstacle and say, HELL NO!  

YOU have to USE the tools.  Don't just say the words. SHIFT from the inside.  That is where you connect to your power.

YOU must do the work of internalizing new truth, making internal exchanges and stop giving your power away.  

DO IT! - fire up your resolve - connect to your passion - DO IT!
