Be the Change no. 17

“Don’t be a doughnut. Fill your hole.”

Be the Change.

Personal motivation seems in short supply these days. I am glad my friends are self motivated. I could not be friends with people that are not motivated by what is within them. Even when I was following paths paved for me by others, I wanted a different flavor, a unique style to separate my path from the path already traveled. I never wanted to do something exactly the same as anyone else. I wanted to take their thing and make it my own.

Some people simply want whatever their neighbor has. And I sue the term neighbor loosely as anyone that lives within their sphere of movement. You don’t have to live next to someone for them to be your neighbor. You just need your paths to intersect in the randomness of life.

I prefer to go after internal goals. I don’t want anyone else’s raised beds, greenhouse, chicken run, rabbit coops . . . I want what works for my life.

Oftentimes we spend our days and nights going after someone else’s dreams, after someone else’s goals, and we can not understand why we feel empty. We forgot to start with what we wanted and that is the only place to begin and end. What do I want out of life?

Some of those wants will be things BUT most often we are searching for the feeling that comes from the possession of those things. We want to be wanted. We want to be safe. We want to be respected. We want to be loved. And at times we think the possession is what gives us that feeling. That by spending enough money on the newest and latest is going to fill that hole. No matter how hard you try to shove an item into your inner hole, it is never going to fit.

So, stop trying to fill your hole with things that are not going to work. Have the conversation with yourself about what you truly want out of this life. Have the conversation with yourself about what is going to make you happy. Have the conversation with yourself about what is going to fill your hole abundantly. You are not a doughnut. You need to fill that hole.
