Are you carefree? Do you really believe you are? Or are you just not getting what it is you should care about. Let’s face it, you’re careless and not smart or witty enough to be carefree. Being carefree means having nothing to be worried about. You’re either dumb and don’t see the problems in your life or you really did make an effort and know that what all the things are that you could worry about. After identifying those you made short work of it and are now carefree. Good for you!
Assuming that you’re just as dumb as me and just as obviously careless let’s press on.
Identifying things to worry about
Take out a piece of paper and start writing right now. Take exactly one minute to write down what you are worrying about and don’t stop until your time is up. You have 1 minute (click and start writing)
If your list looks a bit like mine right there at the top wil be:
- Money
- Purpose in life
- How you measure up to others
And lets not forget those classics like debt, uncertainties about your job and why your blog isn’t as successful like those A-list blogs.
Stop it this instant!
Now you have your wonderful list of worries, it’s time to identify why they are there. For most of them it boils down to you just don’t care enough to do something about it! Check your worries, is there something on that list you can’t do anything about? Anything at all?
Yes that’s it, you’re being careless about your worries, doing nothing to get rid of them, letting them drain your energy day in day out. Oh yes, these worries drain you even if you don’t actively think about them. That’s what being careless is all about. You just lock them away in the back of your mind where they can wreak havoc undisturbed. And you’re wondering why you’re tired all the time right?
Now being carefree is a whole different ballgame. Seeming carefree at least because there is not a soul in the world who is totally carefree. It’s one of those “benefits” of being human. You get to worry about anything and everything during life.So, in the end, we’re all dumb and careless. It’s just a matter of dealing with it or not, your choice to make and your burden to live with.

Well, that is a cool insight.
I say I am carefree, but when I think about it, I worry about a couple of things. Careless would be better. Too bad the problems I care about aren’t that easy to solve!
Great post.
Nobody ever said that it’s easy to solve problems. But like any journey it’s just the ability to take one step and to follow each step with another. You’ll get there in the end even it it takes some time.
Just don’t stand still, that’s careless…
