Don’t be that guy

~ Aakash ~ 6 Comments

You know that one guy who wouldn’t write his first blog post because he’s waiting for that perfect topic that’s going to make him famous?

Or that guy who never shows you his amazing movie scripts because they’re not ready yet?

Or that one girl who won’t stop complaining to you about how un-perfect she looks?

Or that girl who wouldn’t go up to make her pitch because it’s not the right time yet?

Or that one guy who wouldn’t take a damn risk because the conditions are not right?
Or the market isn’t ready?
Or he’s waiting for a better opportunity?
Or he’s just unlucky?
Or bad things always happen to him?
Or he can’t take another rejection?

Yes. Don’t be those people.
Please.

Because there’s never any perfect, ready, right time, right conditions, right market, better opportunity, luck, or anything like that.

Especially, luck.

Be vulnerable

and you’ll be surprised what you learn and who you meet.

Be vulnerable

if you are going to have a real relationship with someone.

Because someone has to be the first.

Be the one who opens up the dialogue.

Who asks questions.

Who cares.

No one has it all figured out. We are all just trying really hard.

If you can be vulnerable, you can share the journey with others who have similar insecurities.

And when we open our hearts, we get better.

Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
