It’s up to us to get moving, get out there and make something happen and live a great life. Nobody else really cares if we are less than we can be, do less than we can do, and settle.
No matter where you are from or who you are, the key factor in determining how your life goes and where you wind up, is your own ambition and self-discipline.
This is great news – we are not at someone else’s mercy or confined in their vision for us.
You are free. What are you going to do?
Really….no one cares, they care about “what’s in it for me” in the end. So when you talk about “it’s your fault” if things are not what you want. My wife reminds me “ it’s your fault”..remember that’s what Larry says (and it’s true:) Thanks Larry and HAPPY EASTER !
Hi Larry,
Thanks for this message which I feel to be one of your most profound, posted March 2018. I’ve got it set as a weekly “reminder” for myself.
It is not negative, it is simply true. It helps me to be responsible for myself and not dependent on others so that I do not become snared to their support and/or approval. But more than that; it helps me to get out there to face the world, to do what I can do. That little bit that I can do to make the world better. As Mother Teresa said “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.”
It also ensures that I do not have to look over my shoulder to see what is coming to catch me from my past.
The world does not define me. I define myself. I chose to reject the world opinion of “Nobody else really cares…..”, as I chose to deeply care about many people and, how I live in the world. I try to show these people the love that someone “else really cares” to give to another person unless ““what’s in it for me””. The sad truth is that many people see this as a weakness to be exploited, or to ridicule. But that does not matter; I still keep being the person that I have chosen to be.
Yes, there are times when saying “NO” is the best form of love, even if you are the one to be hurt.
Thanks for writing every day for us, Larry. Even though only one other person responded to you; please keep writing. We know you “really care” even though ‘there is nothing in it for you’.
Thanks my friend.
Cheers,
P.
