Don’t Stand Still / Lebe nicht im Stillstand / Não fique Parado / No te quedes Quieto

You are afraid of change and are clouded with the fear of ‘What if’. This is future thinking which in fact is an abstract concept.

Since the future has yet to exist, it is only in your mind do you project outcomes, happenings, and cause/effect without actual proof and certainty.

You may be able to make decisions, take educated guesses, and weigh out each possibility, but only when something materializes, does it become the reality – for better or for worse.

You have the choice to propel yourself forward and make changes or you can decide to stand still and let life unfold as it takes you along for the ride or simply happens around you.

Society, family, friends, colleagues, and the media place lots of value on one’s endurance and fighting spirit. Stories are recounted based upon failures that turn into successes.

These anecdotes include going from poor to rich, sick to healthy, defeated vs. victorious, and depressed to happy.

By stifling what feels right or if needed to be investigated further for personal growth, you may be held back by self-imposed and external anxiety based upon ‘how things should be’ – which is derived from a makeshift set of standards.

The idea of ‘walking away’ is looked upon as a sign of weakness. If you do not put up a good fight, you are seen to be indecisive and passive.

You may try to convince yourself along with listening to other’s opinions that you must remain where you are, that it is easier to keep things status quo than to rock the boat, and to be grateful for what you have instead of striving for more.

There is truth to this – in moderation and if founded through gratitude.

But there is also appreciation for finding your way, listening to your own voice and the supportive voices of others who seek to be helpful rather than harmful, along with realizing that sometimes the boat needs to be thrown around at sea in order for it to arrive s
