Please Stop Being Complacent With Your Life
Complacency leads to losing awareness and control.
Despite numerous messages to the contrary, you control your life.
What does complacent mean? In this context, it’s losing touch with/awareness of yourself, due to a sense of comfort and satisfaction that everything is as it should be.
And maybe it is. For a while. But inevitably, it won’t be. Comfort zones cease being comfortable and familiar. That sense of satisfaction stops feeling satisfying because of tangibles, intangibles, or both.
Why? Because of the only constant in the Universe. Change.
Change is inevitable. It can, will, and does occur. Some you can control and direct. But a lot of it you have no control over at all.
Certain groups and individuals love to weaponize that lack of control for their selfish desires. They do so by placing blame on one group or another for why your life sucks and suggesting that suppressing that group — while supporting their goals — is best for you and your life.
Outside influences can impact your inner world. They can cause you to be complacent with your life — because they convince you It’s not yours to control. They suggest instead that if you let them have control, they’ll take care of you.
