We don’t know what we don’t know, accept and stop the BS
https://unsplash.com/oscartothekeys Day 626. We are all humans, so inherently limited in our abilities and designed to act in groups. With this, there are billions of topics we barely know anything about. However, a majority of people has an opinion on those topics. Strange isn’t it? Not really as we have been taught at school to know and we were « punished » with a bad grade if we did not know. Hence our skewed reaction when we do not know, we at least have something to say. The reality is that it’s much better to admit there are things we don’t know when we don’t know them, because it gives us an opportunity to learn.
However, sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know, the unknown unknowns. Those are the most dangerous unknowns to people with certainty. Experience is the best learning tool to uncover unknowns. Unknowns remain and are the main reasons we should always keep an eye on what may happen. Not to freeze action, but to be ready to act if something unexpected happens. It’s important to accept the unknown unknowns and to be ready to act on them if and when they happen. Nobody knows everything, accept to not know everything and especially that you do not know what you do not know. A little bit of modesty keeps our humanity livable.

4 simple steps to make your dreams real
https://unsplash.com/dyaaeldin Day 567. The best dreams are those that can become real. We live in a real world, being happy and fulfilled requires to enjoy the life we live. A lot of people tend to think dreams are meant to stay dreams. I believe dreams are made to become real. This gives a purpose to our efforts, guides our steps, and pushes us to grow. Of course, if you dream humanly impossible dreams, like walking on Pluto for instance, you need to rethink your dreams. However, you can scale them down to stretch you while providing a goal to reach.
So how do make your dreams real. It’s simple, although it may not be easy:
- Ensure your dream is achievable. If you dream to walk on Pluto, rethink! A dream can be huge and it has to be achievable, otherwise you will live an unsatisfied life.
- List the steps to reach your dream. If you want to fly a jet, look for the possibilities, find the expert, and write the necessary steps you’ll need to go through.
- List resources required to make each step real. Go deep, define time and money needed. Once again be realistic, and bold! Once done, you will be light-years ahead most people.
- Start now. Imagination without action is hallucination. You did not come that far just to look at the plan and not execute it. It may be hard and long, but it’s worth it! Go!
Achieving your dreams is a worthy endeavor. It pushes you, it propels you and it gives your live a purpose. If life has been tough, dreams can help make it sparkle. Of course, there will be hard times and setback. Failure is necessary for any success as it provides learning. But as it’s been said, succeeding is failing a hundred times and getting back a hundred and one times. Do not wait any longer, each of us deserve to realize our dreams, just create the ideal dream catcher and run with it!

If you are not scared, you are not growing…
https://unsplash.com/oliverpacas Day 552. Taking risk is an inherent part of our lives. Unfortunately, society has become complacent and education has moved generations of kids in a « no risk » zone, due to increased lawsuits. People are therefore considering risks as something to avoid at all price. However, not taking risks is the greater risk of all. Not taking risk is putting yourself at the mercy of those who will take risks. Not taking risks is wearing the shoes of potential victims. Not taking risks is leaving the best opportunities to others.
Taking risk does not mean betting your house or jumping from a cliff without any knowledge and experience of base jumping. Taking risks is all about moving out of the comfort zone, expanding its borders. Taking risks is jumping into the unknown, leading your life. Of course with risk comes fear that we may fail, fear that we may not be up to the game, fear that we may get hurt. With risk comes potential success, potential win, and potential growth. There’s a price to pay and rewards to win.
With risk comes fear, meaning taking risk is a scary endeavor. The only sensible way to get rid of fear is to confront it, not to ignore it by turning your back. The first skydive will scare you, may be, the second will be smoother. Fear will keep you on your toes, will require that you are always walking on a high wire. Without a little pinch in your belly, you will become complacent and will stop growing, taking the risk of becoming obsolete. Every day, check if you are scared, at least a little, if not, you are just not growing. It’s a choice, but not taking risk is the greatest risk of all!

You never thank too much
https://unsplash.com/desimendoza Day 550. The most two powerful words of the English language are thank you! You never thank other enough or too much. Nobody’s forcing anybody to be kind and nice, to spend time cooking a good meal, to welcome you, to take care of your home when you’re away, to give you a helpful hand to finish a project, just to name a few things. Always take the time to thank others.
I take this occasion to thank you for being my readers. I know some of you are reading every post, some are coming once in a while, and others come and go. Whatever you do, wherever you stay, whoever you are, thank you! With no readers, no bloggers. With no followers, no tweets. Do not hesitate to let me know if some topics resonate more than others, if you want me to write about some questions you have in your mind. I am serving you with my words. Once again, thank you for the depth of my heart..
