“Some say that life is a rat race you will never win I say we should at least think your way to the front of it.” - Johnnie Williams III
Notice I didn’t say:
-Work your way to the front of it…
-Run or race your way to the front of it…
-Cheat your way to the front of it…
Check out this video that describes a 1950 Harvard university study using similar rats that were both domesticated and wild. The study aimed to see how long the rats of different circumstance would swim before giving up. The findings were very interesting and speak to the Hope and hopelessness that is present within men and women across the globe. Some still have hope in succeeding and thriving despite the obstacles they are confronted with. But many others have given up on trying to access the possibility of getting more out of life.
Do you believe you can continue to survive or even thrive within this man-made rat race?
Don’t give up – keep pushing – keep kicking – keep dreaming – keep loving the journey of life!!!
The think about it brand and podcast or about encouraging, reminding, and inspiring good people to think critically and independently. I offer an array of services and products that attempt to support the creation of a productive habit of thinking deeply more often to avoid the predictable rat traps that have caught too many of us due to unconscious reactions.
Something to think about…
Ask Yourself:
- What has life and stress done to your optimism?
- What is one thing you can do to make your life easier to manage?
- How did your way of thinking make a difference?
