“The real risk
is doing nothing.”
If we choose to do ‘nothing’ in our lives,
we are choosing to miss out
on new and exciting opportunities.
Who wants to do that?
Embracing and even encouraging change
always lead us towards
‘unexpected’ breakthroughs.
When we hesitate,
we miss the opportunity
and the potential
to lead a happier life.
Valuable experiences ‘shape’ us
and almost ‘create’ us
into a much stronger person.
If we do nothing,
we will never learn from experiences
or become stronger within ourselves.
By choosing to act,
even by taking small steps,
we cultivate resilience and adaptability.
This will support us
and help us
to navigate through our journey in life.
Progress very often comes better
from small steps and “manageable” steps.
There is a whole realm of possibilities
in front of us
but
we’ve got to want them.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.

Yes, choosing to do nothing, gets nothing. No matter how old you are - you are never too old to experience new things. If you want to publish a book, go for it, I did - and even with a host of health problems, I feel excitement. Great article and relevant to me, at this time in my life. Nicely done!!!
