This morning I woke up, and each time I do, something always
comes to mind. I notice that the pillow is the first item on the bed that I am
often drawn to, even before I get off the bed. Today, as I began tucking the pillow
into the cotton case, I started thinking of what often happens to many dreamers
and people with aspirations, today.
The Reason for
Falling Prey to the Pillowcase Effect
Now, I ask, why do people assume such regressive mentality
when it pertains to pushing forward their own ideas? You many have your
reasons, as we all do. But, dare I say that, you can do better than that."
A place of comfort is a false state that
will not only limit you, but, kill your ability to harness your mental prowess
towards creative thinking."
Most of us are comfortable working for others and building
their dreams, because, it brings us a sense of satisfaction and security. We
often ask ourselves, where is the money to pay for housing, mortgage, phone
bill, energy bill, feeding or what have you, going to come from, if I leave my
current job and pursue my own venture? Where would I get the start-up capital
from? I can go on. The truth of the matter is that, people with such rigid way of
thinking will always keep complaining about their apparent lack of fulfilment, financial freedom and
happiness, because, they refuse to do the necessary, which I must confess, is
not easy at all..
Tucking your ideas into the pillowcase may seem convenient,
but not without risk as you may think. Have you thought about what happens if
you are suddenly made redundant at your place of work? Or become too ill to
work? You are immediately at a lose, whilst your employer maintains his or her
advantageous position. Now, think of it this way, if you had spent some quality
time building your own business alongside your day job, if any of the above
happens, you won't be vulnerable or fall into a state of dichotomy.
So, the choice is yours. Invest in your dreams no matter the
complexities that may arise or simply tuck them into the pillowcase, never to
be seen again. "A word they say is enough for the wise."
