... to make some changes... There is a lot of talk about 2012 going on, just like a few years ago, there was a lot of talk about 2000. What fascinates me is that people seem to pick these dates, and whatever will happen, are sitting around waiting for it. Why not start changing life now? Why not decide to cut the bullshit, move forward and radically change life until there are no more compromises? Carolin Myss in her book "Sacred Contracts" talks about the prostitute archetype, that little voice in our head that tells us that where we are at is not soooo bad, and that if we wanted to change it, there are all these scary unknowns. Thus it would be sooo much better to stay where we are and not risk anything, right?? Well, no. Fuck suffering. Change everything. Change at least one thing in your life every day. A lovely saying I read once said that the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that while unsuccessful people spend their time, successful people use it. Gets even better when you translate it into German: "spending" translates to "verbrauchen", "Brauch" meaning habit or custom - doing the same things over and over again. "use" translates to "verwenden", which is related to "Wandel", meaning Change.... So, use your time, it's running out ;-) Check out the world clock my friend Noa just sent me: http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swf. Definitely provides some sense of urgency, no?
