Tear it down

Posted on by philipdodson

Tear it down, then what? What goes in its place?

It’s far easier to say ‘tear it down’ or ‘I don’t like that’ than to propose something else.

It’s substantially more positive and rewarding, to create an alternative, even if it is hard work initially.

Different options, if inspirational, motivate action and long lasting change.

You can not change by using criticism, you can by providing another choice that is not reliant on referencing how bad what is already there is.

Ignore what you do not like, and build an alternative that others can be inspired by.

Tear it down leads to being anti rather than pro something you believe to be better.

After all, it is all opinion.

We’ve had thousands of chances

Posted on by philipdodson

Most of us by the time we reach adulthood have had thousands of days of life to try things.

Yet we often sit and say I haven’t had a chance to do ‘x’ or try ‘y’ or whatever we’ve been putting off.

If we don’t start taking some of those chances then another few thousand opportunities to do something will have passed.

The unfortunate thing for all of us is we don’t know how many days we have left and they will for sure run out.

The sooner we start doing things and trying, testing, the sooner we learn, adapt and find out what works, and then what works better.

How many more chances will we waste before just trying something?

Why deny ourselves the learning we need to become a better version of ourselves?

The sun sets on all of our lives.
