Do You Love “The Wall”?

I had an AMAZING conversation with a friend yesterday. Essentially, we came to the conclusion that a lot of people out there love “The Wall”.

Now, by this I don’t mean they’re big fans of the Pink Floyd cult movie from the ’70s. (Although they may be…) We weren’t talking about the border between the United States and Mexico, either.

Rather, we were talking about THE WALL that WE OURSELVES build.

Why do we build–and love–“The Wall”?

Simple. We build it to keep stuff out that we don’t want getting in.

That could mean people we don’t want to let close enough to us to hurt us. It could mean stress or strain that we perceive as unnecessary. OR…we COULD build “The Wall” to INSULATE OURSELVES.

Naturally, we don’t want outside influences to hurt us. But what if we’re also trying to protect ourselves from risk that could actually HELP us live our dreams?

Could that be possible? And further, could we LOVE “The Wall” more than we value the idea of maximizing our talents and truly living our dreams…all because the latter sounds TOO DANGEROUS?

So many of us will wake up tomorrow and do the SAME EXACT THING we did today. And yesterday, most of us did the SAME EXACT THING we did the day before.

At the end, over the years we will have lulled ourselves to sleep with the status quo.

But “The Wall” is seen as a source of SAFETY, even as it often is what TRAPS US in mediocrity.

So what happens when you tear down that wall?

Well, it could allow some stress to enter your life. It could also mean allowing some other people to get a little nearer.

But as the people of East Germany once found out two decades ago, there’s FREEDOM on the other side of “The Wall”.

So the question is, are you in fact LOVING what is holding you back?

Many people trade their long-term dreams in for the “protection” of short-term comfort. Don’t do that…start putting the wheels in motion to UNCHAIN yourself from the confines of what bores you day after day.

Maybe that’s a dead end job. Maybe that’s a so-called “career” that squashes your real dreams every day. It could even be a limiting belief that keeps you from building the relationships you can and should be building.

Whatever it is, I can help you START LIVING the life you truly want.
