Most people think there are three stages of life. They believe that you are growing, stagnate or decaying. However, with further introspection one comes to realize that there are only two stages. You’re either growing or you’re decaying.
If you were to buy a piece of fruit from the grocery store you know that the fruit has a certain shelf life therefore you consume it before it decays. However, when it comes to our lives we take a more casual approach believing that we are maintaining the status quo. The truth is that most of us are unconsciously decaying.
When’s the last time you took a leap of faith towards anything BIG in life? When’s the last time you started something outrageous without feeling like you had to have all your ducks in a row? When’s the last time you went in a totally different direction than the majority? When’s the last time you jumped and let the net appear on your way down?
What if I told you that you originally agreed before you came here to always be pursuing growth? What if I told you that someone had bamboozled you into accepting a lesser version of who you were? What if I told you that decaying is another word for cop out. Would you believe me and continue to argue for your limitations?
There’s a lot of stinking thinking going around and I think its time to stop. Just look around you and you will discover that it doesn’t take much to stand out in America. The streets of America are paved with gold and the only thing you must learn is how to scrap them.
Consciously choose a life dedicated to growth or decay but don’t delude yourself into believing that there is a third choice.
That’s my spin on it.
