Living life as it comes
Hello, and welcome back to the Thoughts that Bind. I recently had a realization of something that is a common thing touted in self-help, and I thought, why not talk about it? So today, we’re talking about the mindset shift behind thinking “What can you do?”

If you’re someone who’s deeply passionate and invested in your life, you’ve probably thought about legacy a lot over the years. And yet, we’ve hardly ever discussed the topic on this site. So let’s break that silence, shall we?

Lately I’ve been noticing a lot of change around me, in the world and within people that I know and care about. Some of it’s positive, and some I may be inclined to classify as negative, but if I’m being honest, most of it’s just neutral.

I’m a cautious person, by nature. I don’t want to do anything where there’s a high risk of failure or embarrassment (although all too often, I perceive those two as the same thing). And this manifests itself as a whole lot of waiting and preparation in my life. I don’t want to do something if I don’t know that I can do it well.
