A little nonsense can be a good thing

I am one to talk about exactly what I am thinking no matter how inappropriate the situation. Thank goodness I have this blog or I would have many grumpy people listening to me go on and on about Tuukka, Market America, and my love of shopping. Many of these people believe these ramblings are nonsense and are going to hold me back. I beg to differ though because without nonsense we would not have creativity. Who ever believed that a little box of metal and plastic, that some today would question was a computer, would one day connect the entire world? How many do you think way-back-when thought that electricity would one day be a thing? They probably thought those ideas were just...nonsense. I have started to catch myself when I realize I am crushing others' dreams. Collectively, as a human race we have started to believe in only one mind set. There are rules for how you should be thinking and you are exiled and made fun of if you do not believe in this way. I finally completed a book about Steve Jobs (I'm a slow reader) and even though I hated him for a good majority of the book, I enjoyed the person he turned into. Many of us start out believing that we know everything and that we are the only person that matters. Even though this can get you much of what you want when you wanted, it hurts so many others. I have tried to solve others' problems recently, or at least help them come up with a solution. Everyone has their problems whether it be loans, relationship problems, weight problems, kid problems, hating their job, hating where they are in life. I have problems of my own sure, but my problems are going to be solved with time and growing. What is the point of me sitting there worrying about my problems when there are so many other's that can be solved with my help? My nonsense is going nowhere and will be there when I need to start focusing on them. I enjoy helping people so I decided to spend my time more productively and do so. What has been bothering me lately is that people are so wrapped up in their own problems that they are getting no where to get out of them. I know this is a little taboo for most of you, but I have found that most problems solve themselves when you aren't focused on them. Problems depress people. When people focus on the problem, people stay depressed. Stretch your wings, folks. Do something that makes you happy!! What is the point in being depressed about something that is not going to change over night? Are you going to come up with $2,000 overnight to pay off your credit card? Are you going to lose 30 lbs in a day? Are your kids going to behave with one stern talking to? I'm sorry to say that the answer is no. On the flip side, do you think you are going to feel better seeing a friend for a cup of coffee? Do you think that walk is going to calm your nerves and kill some stress? Do you think taking your kids out for ice cream will make them a little more bearable for the night? Yes. Would you all rather be worrying about that nonsense or have fun doing nonsense. Nonsense as a thought can be detrimental and haunt you, but nonsense as an action can be powerful and wonderful. Don't think nonsense, do nonsense. Get out there and live your life. Stop questioning everything and go out and do. One of my favorite quotes comes from kids t.v. show. "Take chances, get messy, and make mistakes." That's the way to do it, loves.
