KAIZEN FOR LIFE

This is a tough one. I feel like there are so many things I would like to say to people.

I think it would say something like… ‘YOU, YES YOU – WAKE THE F#CK UP. WAKE UP. IT’S TIME TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. JOIN THE KAIZEN JOURNEY RIGHT NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. ‘ with a little side note explaining what kaizen is (constant self improvement, 1% better everyday).

Many of us are living lives we despise, doing things we dislike, surrounded by people who make us feel worse about ourselves than we already do. We must wake up to the truth.

And what is that truth??

The truth is that we don’t have to live our lives that way. The truth is we are responsible for our lives and what we do with them. The truth is that we need to stop blaming other people for disliking our own lives.

I am not denying the fact that other people, situations, global issues, personal issues, money, illness etc do not impact our lives and make it harder to live the lives we truly wish to. However I am denying the fact that there is nothing we can do about it.

If you’re reading this, I’m going to assume you have a phone or iPad or laptop. I’m going to assume you probably have access to running water and are not in the middle of a war or humanitarian crisis. How dare you sit and complain about a job that doesn’t pay you enough when there are people who don’t know if they will wake up tomorrow or if they will ever have a chance to see their family again, let alone work a job.

We all go through our own problems and troubles and each of those is valid, however we must realise how blessed we are to be in the positions we are in. Stop wasting your life doing things you hate. YOU have the opportunity to change your life, whilst so many others do not.

Do something that fulfils you. Do something that helps others. Do something that is meaningful. Do something that betters you and the world.

WAKE UP.
