Combatting helplessness …
Hey fellow wishcasters & other interested parties,
Today’s question by Jamie Ridler: What would you like to embrace? Me, I’d like to take my innate ability to produce idea after idea and create more programs around it. People have always said to me, “You are a great brainstormer.” Despite knowing this in my own heart, I embarked on an occupational journey after college that did not connect with brainstorming. I listened to folks who said, “You can’t make money doing that.” I believed their small-time thinking.
It is only in the last 3 or 4 years that I’ve changed my own thinking enough to realize that, yes, I can make money doing things that come naturally to me, like writing inspirational essays, musing and finding greatness in others. Hey, maybe it’s the small-time thinking that’s all wrong.
The economic downturn presents a good example. So many problems to solve, so many innate gifts, yet we all walk around helplessly looking for others to create jobs that tend to be rigid and often soul-deadening. I wonder where we all learned to be helpless, to not follow our innate talents, to believe that the job categories out there represent what people really need to live fulfilling lives.
Any ideas how we became so helpless?
Muse thx, Giulietta

Thank you for reminding me to stop thinking small, I need that on a daily basis!
Giulietta, I love the way you think and write. I am always inspired when I visit you here and I must thank you for your comments on my blog. They make me feel like someone out there gets me.
Enough of the small-time thinking and on to using our inate talents and pursuing our dreams. You’re right, it does no good to wait around for others to create opportunities for us.
As Guilietta wish for herself, so I wish for her also, abundantly!

I think sometimes we invest too much in others’ advice, especially when they are saying, “Don’t make the same mistakes I made.” What might have been their mistake could be a better fit for you. Of course, others can give good advice, but you need to follow your gut feelings about whether or not it’s right for you!
Great post as always.
