Motivation Monday - the Universe doesn't care


     Today is Motivation Monday, the day I share a must read on my wish list of titles. This one is for those who have epic ideas but have to deal with fear.
the Universe Doesn't Give a Flying Fuck About You
     Life is too short to regret what you didn't do because you were afraid of the peanut gallery of nay-sayers in your life.  I definately fall into this category.  I worry almost endlessly about what others think about me, what I'm doing, what I look like...I've held myself in check, held my tongue and said nothing rather than allow my expertise and excellence to show at times because I feared what other's would think, if they would think I'm being a know it all...Lord forbid I make them feel stupid.  If you are at all like me, then this is an irreverent but insightful book for you!  And me, too!

If you're worried about failing or need a push into the direction of actually trying something, read this! This very short book is an intelligent, thoughtful, inspirational piece of work.

Book Description
"If you walk around every day on eggshells, nervous about making a mistake or looking stupid, then you should read this.

If you have a "next big thing" in mind you want to do because you know it will be awesome (starting the business, making the big move, launching the nonprofit, writing the book) but are afraid of doing what it would take to make that thing happen, then you should read this.

The universe is very big. You are very small. In fact, you're so small and so insignificant in the big picture that you don't even register to the eye of the cosmos. The universe was here before you were born and will be here long after you're gone, and your life is but a blip on its vast, vast radar. If your life is to matter, it's not going to matter to the universe. It's up to you make your life matter in the only way you can: by doing things that make a difference to you, to those around you, and to those whose lives you touch. Time is short. You have exactly NOW to do whatever it is you're here to do, or to let the inexorable passage of hours and days and years kill your potential like fruit left to die on a vine.

The universe doesn’t hate you, but it doesn’t love you, either. You’re just an atom in its infinite workings. The universe doesn’t care if you live, die, suffer, or thrive. Whatever your life here will mean is up to you.

Stop worrying so much about what others think and start being who you're supposed to be. It's time to do some epic shit."
