Crash test dummies are known for having a short life.  Is life your crash test?  If so stop being a dummy.

Life is a series of consequences.  When life throws a curve ball at you are you prepared for the consequences?  Are you standing there like a crash test dummy, being hit time and time again by life or are you constantly moving trying to avoid the curve ball and running away from life and whatever might be coming for you?

Life is a curve ball and like duality and yin and yang you must be prepared for whatever comes your way.

I was working with a client this month who had to face a difficult decision and a conversation where there were a number of consequences.  They had been putting off the conversation out of fear and living in the not knowing.

The consequence of not doing something WOULD be pain and suffering i.e. DEFINITE suffering

However,

The consequences of doing something COULD be pain and suffering i.e. POSSIBLE suffering

Do you prefer a 100% chance of suffering to a 50% chance of suffering?

When you act – remember, there are consequences. Just as there are consequences to NOT acting.

However, the possibility could exist that the consequence of taking action to be joy & love.

Are you prepared for whatever consequence comes?

Life is like a game of cricket or baseball.  To hit the ball ‘out the park’ in either involves the risk of being hit by the ball!

The tools of EQ, (Emotional Intelligence), I teach on my Emotional Mastery workshop enable you to assess the risk of  the ball hitting you and dealing with the pain, or knowing how to jump out of the way, or even catch the ball and observe it and throw it back!

It is not freezing and standing there like a dummy.  Being a dummy is not learning from the first time that the ball hit you!  As Einstein once said – “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and expecting different results”.

So what results in life do you want and are you prepared to accept the consequences that may come your way as a result.  Or are you happy being a dummy and having an unfulfilling life wondering why others find it so easy.

Maybe they just decided to be human?
