Hello, dear Steemians! 🤗

Today I would like to share with you my thoughts, reflections on life.
Often, when I walk down the street, sit on a bench or in a cafe, I hear the same words. Sometimes I "sin" with these words. What am I talking about now? All, absolutely all something does not suit. People want a lot, but do nothing. Another question is WHY? Have you ever thought about it???

I’ll say my point now and hope that each of you will share your thoughts on this in the comments.

It seems to me that we are just afraid to live. We surround ourselves with generally accepted conventions and rules, driving ourselves into narrow confines. We get used to something or someone, we live in an ordinary and colorless world, although in an instant we could decorate life with all the colors of the rainbow.
And you know what the most annoying? We learned to invent excuses for our gray life.

For example, my aunt lived for 20 years with her husband. He was an alcoholic and beat her, brought homeless people into the house to drink with them and much more. He constantly insulted her. At the end of their life together, he became very fat, did not do anything around the house, they were not bound by anything. And I'm not talking about love. Aunt constantly complained, but did not change anything.
Why? You ask.
Aunt constantly find excuses. At first she was sorry for her little daughter. When my daughter grew up and began to live separately, she began to talk about stability, but she also cried. And so there are 20 more reasons. Money, apartment, life, loneliness.

Although! During these 20 years, she could have already found true love, a man who will love both her and her daughter. There could be a smile on her face for a long time. And a reliable man can help you feel loved and valuable.
And how many people justify beatings. Who does not try to realize their dreams. Because they are afraid that something will not work out or they will be convicted.

We have learned to justify our fear of change with a phrase - a hopeless situation. Although in fact from any hopeless situation there are at least two ways out.
Do you know what scares me the most ???
Worst of all, because of their fears, habits and excuses, people just began to go with the flow, to adapt, to lose themselves. But!!! To swim against the current, the fish must be strong. Even a dead fish can go with the flow ...

Failure - this is not a reason to give up, worse - to set goals that are clearly below your capabilities and be content with what you have.
Self-development, self-improvement, and most importantly, PERMANENT MOVEMENT - this is the secret of growth, both spiritual and material.

But this is my opinion, but what is the secret of your happiness?😊
