Do you ever feel trapped by desperation?

“The mass of people live lives of quiet desperation.” is attributed to Henry David Thoreau.

Are you part of the mass? Do you want to change your life?

If you were capable of taking a step or two back and to honestly look at yourself and maybe even your society, you might see a few things that would shock you.

It is these things that can lead to the feeling of being trapped in the chain gang and ‘desperation life’.

1) Is your mind sometimes positive, but its usual mode is negative

2) Your enjoyment of life and all it has to offer is only ‘captured or stolen’ from time to time

3) Lack of motivation and enthusiasm for your work.

4) A habit of always looking for the easy way taking the path of least resistance

5) Lack of an aim in life or life purpose/destiny

6) Friends who have too much time, so always find something, anything, to constantly complain about

7) You feel that your life is dictated by circumstances rather than considering self help.

Lack of personal growth, poor mental health

These are some of the things that can create the feeling of being in the chain gang of desperation

Breaking free or cutting loose from YOUR chain gang isn’t an easy thing to do. Not at all.

There are usually the feelings of safety, comfort, and support of being part of the chain gang.

Sometimes when you attempt to walk at a different pace to the rest you get dragged back into step.

Deep down you know that the chain gang can not give you what you truly want. Many people know it won’t, though they’ve accepted it.

Not you though.

You wouldn’t still be reading this right now if the chain gang was an acceptable way of living for you.

So heres the thing - I have a challenge for you, you in?

Good, let’s go and get started.

Starting today…

Can you be 1% more FEARLESS?

Can you be 1% more courageous?

Can you think positive thoughts 1% more of the time?

Can you be 1% more friendly to others?

Can you lose 1% or more of the negativity in your life?

Can you decide to break free of imprisonment of the chain gang and move to the land called success?

Are you sure?

We were all born with gifts and talents.

The use of these talents/gifts leads to success in many areas of our life.

When we’re in the chain gang usually we kept our talents, gifts and personal success silent.

Not any more. No. No. No.

Today, YOU, yes YOU, will be 1% better.

And each day make that your goal. 1% growth each day.

The chains will vanish, your happiness and personal success will soar upwards, and people will line up to say THANK YOU for how you’ve helped them.
