Not Being a Real Person
- wallflower 18y agoPrediction makes us feel safe and it is that very safety that gets in the way of letting go of what is familiar even though the familiar is holding us back. We stay in familiar jobs we hate. We stay in abusive relationships. We keep lousy friends. We live in places that have no jobs or future. Because....it is predictable.
- ovi256 18y agoClearly, entrepreneurs are "unreal persons": they live an "alternative" (read: unusual) lifestyle in an un-regimented context, they pay themselves. So, entrepreneurs are vulnerable to living a "fake unreal" life too. They can recreate the very mistake they are trying to correct: become workaholics, lose their agility and their thrive for innovation. Caveat entrepreneur.
