If we ask people what’s the life they want to live, most people would respond with “a secure life." People expect life to be the absence of any kind of problems, a life which sails smoothly all the way, a life in which everything is happening exactly as they had planned.

They look for a secure life. In other words, a stable life.

What is “a stable life?"

Is it your job that makes your life stable? Is it the straight A’s on your report card? Is it your capability of earning a constant income? Or maybe, it’s all of the above. But what if any one of these go wrong? Suddenly you are unstable.

You see, people often follow other people, be it in studies or career. They believe it’s the education that determines their success at life. They focus the numbers. You miss a half percentage, and your life is basically over. End of discussion.

Even after getting the dream job of their choice, people think that the they will be in the job forever. They plan their next five years, 10 years and 20 years keeping job as focal-point. But, who can tell what’s going to happen next year or next week, tomorrow or even in the next moment? You can’t predict what’s going to happen the very next moment with you. So, most of the five-year, 10-year and 20- year plans never work. Because they are just plans. In most of the cases, they never happen. I want you to realize that you are actually much bigger than your plans.You are much more intelligent than you thought. You can do amazing things which you never thought. All you need to do is just stop living like a robot. And you will start experiencing the incredible things life has to offer. You don’t need to plan your whole life in advance. Just talk to yourself, ask yourself what you are really doing and what you should be doing instead.

I have a great news for you.

Despite your decision to live a stable life, you still have opportunities to create something amazing in your spare time.

How?

Look within. If you can look within yourself and really get to know yourself, then you can totally destroy the robot within you called self-limitation. It’s what holding you back from creation, achievement and fame. Stability is just an illusion. It holds us back from growing from inside. It ties your hands with fake limitations. It masks your immense potential. Instead of running behind stability, run behind ideas, experiments, exploration and keep creating. Think about an idea and see whether it can make your life. If it can’t, think another idea. You are very much human, who can breathe, smell, smile and most importantly, create. You are not programmed, and you have real intelligence. You are not a robot. Stop living like one.
