Consequences: EXPERIMENT 4

How do things we do change our future?
Can a small deed change our future in a dramatic way?

Of course it can!!

Two years ago I decided to read a book. The author of that book assured that it could change my life if I tried to put in practice the knowledge inside it, so I decided to try.

As I am a very optimistic person, I hoped changes in my life. But now, two years later, I begin to realize how that decision influenced my future. It is fascinating how a little happening drives us to another little one, and another one, and another one... changing the course of our life forever.

Since that moment, I started to pay attention to the consequences of my acts, noticing that every decision we take change our future in a dramatic way.

#EXPERIMENT 4

Do you want to change something in your life?

It is easy! Just take a decision: start taking piano lessons, ask that beautiful girl (or boy) out, read an interesting book, take a long trip, start jogging,...

It is very interesting, because you never know the way in what that decision is going to change your life. But, is that so important? I do not think so. Sometimes we just need to change things out. So, as I said in the earlier post: Just do it!

I'm waiting for your experiences!!

Why don't we try? EXPERIMENT 3

"Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we might win, by fearing to attempt"

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

I have just read by chance (chance does not exist) this famous quote and I have not been able to avoid writing about it.

Have you ever seen a very good opportunity? Have you ever felt that was YOUR time to take action and, however, you did not do anything? Why?

I confess to having done the same. Why? Because of the fear. Fear of taking the wrong decision, of disturbing the others. Fear of doing something stupid.

But most of times it has no sense at all!! And I have found an experiment that proves it.

#EXPERIMENT 3

Look at the following picture, taken from www.xkcd.com (a very recommendable site).

This picture gives us a kind of "regret percentage". As we can see, people who did not take action regret 10 times more than those who did. So if you have the chance to do something you want, do it! Maybe you will regret later, but if you don't do it you can be sure you will.

Although I hate the philosophy of the world big companies (always trying to make us think that happiness can be bought with money, and only with money) there is a sentence used by one of them in TV spots that summarize very well this post:

Just do it!

Share your experiments!!

Do you have any interesting, painless experiment you want to share with the rest of the world?

Just write it here as a comment and I will change it into a post (with your name as author, of course)
