DO YOU HAVE A WARNING LIGHT ON YOUR DASHBOARD?
I love this metaphor. It goes straight to the heart of the way we deal with issues in our lives. We’re all different and react in different ways to warning signs – whether they be about things we own like cars or our own bodies.
- Do you have a warning light on your dashboard?
- If you do, how long has it been there?
- Are you going to do something about it or are you going to ignore it?
- Have you convinced yourself that ignoring it might make it go away?
Whatever your warning light is, the best plan of action is do something about it. Seek advice, learn from others, be curious. Don’t put it off any longer. You only have one life.
The Stoic philosophers coined the term MEMENTO MORI or ‘Remember that you die’. This is not morbid; in fact, it is 100% positive. Our time on this planet is precious, so if you want to achieve a goal of getting healthier, starting a business, going alcohol-free, or whatever it is that drives you, then don’t put it off. DO IT NOW because you might be dead tomorrow! Treat your time as a gift and do not waste it. One of the biggest wastes of time I can think of is drinking. I knew I had to stop drinking. According to Stoicism, the time is now, so I acted upon this.
Two years ago my warning light was “Consuming Alcohol”.
The biggest and best decision I ever made was to learn how to turn that light off for good.
STEPS YOU CAN TAKE…
LEARN FROM THE STOICS. Remember that you could die tomorrow, so if you are going to do something, do it now.
My book Walking Back To Happiness The Secret To Alcohol-free Living & Well-being shows you how I found happiness and well-being through goal setting and mindset change and how you can to.
