Don't Wait For the Shark to Bite Your Leg Off
This is a great article written by Craig Harper! Please take some time to really understand what he is saying here, it could mean the difference between living a life settling for what you think you can do . . . and living a life full of passion doing what you really can do and what you are really supposed to do!
Don't Wait For the Shark to Bite Your Leg Off
Have you ever noticed how many people survive some type of horrendous near-death experience (drama, trauma, accident, illness) or some other significant personal tragedy (sudden loss of a loved-one perhaps)... and then realise that they have some kind of previously undiscovered (or used) amazing ability, talent or drive to do incredible things with their life?
One of the most interesting studies in the field of behavioural science (for me anyway) is the dramatic way that people often change (personality, attitudes, thinking, behaviours, philosophy) following some kind of personal tragedy (often a near-death experience).
People who previously didn't have the skills, knowledge, confidence, drive or energy to scratch their butt (supposedly)... are instantly passionate, driven, competent high-achievers. Seemingly, overnight they become different people.They become dynamic motivators and teachers.
The follower becomes an amazing leader. The person who couldn't look you in the eye is standing at a microphone addressing the masses. They develop incredible programs and work on the streets with homeless people. They build orphanages for kids in far away places. They become outspoken, fearless activists and lobbyists for noble causes.
People who couldn't motivate themselves to get a job, become proactive go-getters. People who had their butt glued to the couch become inspirational role-models. People who never stepped outside their little box... never, ever return (to their box). People who were once bound by fear are suddenly fearless.
Sometimes, it's like they really are completely different people.
But the truth is, they are the same person doing different things.
That new amazing person was always there. But tragically, too many people live and die... never having met their own amazing self. Too scared. Too conservative. Too safe. Too sensible.
People who go through these amazing experiences come out the other side with no more talent, potential or intelligence. They come out with a different mindset. A different way of looking at life, the world and everything in it (including themselves).
Therefore, they create different.
Their world changes... because they change.
(I'm not typically into mantras or affirmations... but putting the words "my world will change when I change" on your fridge... might be a good reminder).
I hope you don't have to endure a tragedy or close-call before you decide to reveal and introduce your amazing self to the rest of us.
