Unlearn

We have tried hate, judgement, jealousy, unkindness, control, manipulation, war, killing, and fear.

It’s what we are taught, we’re not born that way.

We need to stop using what has been done before as a guide to what to do going forward. It’s a failed method as it has not worked.

What have we got to lose as a human race by trying a new approach?

After all, it has not all been done before. We’ve never tried love, kindness, compassion, empathy, support and openness.

Unlearn, the world will be better.

Too late

Often we hear people say ‘it’s too late for me to ….’.

Change, learning, or doing something at any age only takes a moment to take the first step.

After all, any action is only a series of small steps.

‘Too late’ is an excuse similar to ‘when this happens I’ll do…’. ‘This’ rarely happens unless we do something.

They are all ways of convincing ourselves that doing nothing is better than facing our fear.

Why would we settle for the inevitable?

The only day that it is ‘too late’ is our last day, why wait until then?

Whatever it is, just take a step, then another, and another until we get there.
