What would you do if you weren’t afraid? OK... So...uh...what exactly are you waiting for? This isn’t a dress rehearsal... Wake up! Here’s the deal: What we can be, we MUST be. Period. There’s no getting around that one. So, turn off your TV. Put down your drink. Get off the medication. Quit numbing yourself. The pain’s not going away. Not until you thinkarete. “thinkarete”? Yep. Gandhi got it. Einstein got it. Mother Theresa got it. Tiger gets it. Gates gets it. Oprah gets it. The Greeks got it. Get this: Guys like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle said that if you want happiness you better live with areté--a word that literally means virtue or excellence but has a deeper meaning...something closer to “constantly striving to reach your highest potential.” areté. How beautiful is that? It was one of the highest ideals of Greek culture. It should be one of ours. Tragically, it’s not. We seem to be more interested in resumes, accolades and 401k's. Speaking of retirement... Who came up with that? Work like crazy doing something we're not passionate about so we can accumulate enough money to pay the bills from our stress-caused illnesses while we complain about what we should have done when we were still young. Hmmm...We can’t quite figure that one out. Seems like it makes a bit more sense to go ahead and dare to live now... Why not thinkarete? Live to your highest potential--moment to moment to moment. Not in the mood? Fine. Then live with regret, anxiety, and disillusionment. Your call. Think about it. When do we feel most alive? Exactly. When we’re being ourselves--our highest selves. You want happiness? thinkarete. Dream. Grow. Stretch yourself. Rip off the tie. Jump out of the cubicle. Dream. Think. Dare to be crazy. What are you waiting for? thinkarete. Are you crazy enough to think you can change the world? Good. Now go out and do it. Live. Love. Smile. Hug. Laugh. Dream. Do. Create. Have fun. Be intense. Be audacious. Be unreasonable. Act impeccably. Breathe. Be you. Be different. Get paid to do what you love. Dance in your underwear on your way to work... Why not? Ditch the tie. Escape the cube. Leave the 8-5. Trash the resume. Ignore the critics. And the cynics. Burn the corporate ladders. Laugh at the ceilings. Quit the bitching. Open your mind. End the laziness. Overcome the fear. Transcend the conditioning... Why not? Move the world. Change the world. Push the human race forward. Whatever you call it, go out and do it. When? Now. Not when you have enough money or once you do this or do that. That’s nonsense. It’s not gonna be easy, but go out and live your dream. Now. You deserve it. And, if that doesn’t move you: The world deserves it. thinkarete. http://www.thinkarete.com

Okay, Stone, when I do this, I have found that I just end up getting in trouble ...

In trouble with all around me.

And with other posters as well.

See, at some point THEY insist that I conform, adhere to THEIR interpretation of 'the rules' ... so, how should that be handled?

Their conformity and their interpretation probaly comes from television.

And those who do not conform to the image of television are judged out-of-step.

What to do about it? Disown the kids, divorce the TV mindnumbed wife, tell the in-laws to take a leap and move to the country.

Good observation.
