Pickled: the art of getting into trouble.

An observation-

This is most of us-

• We want to be unique.

• We want to have meaning and purpose in our lives.

• We want to have an impact and make a change.

• We want to die with no regrets

• We want to be the best version of ourselves for those who we love.

Yet, most of us, myself included, underperform in those aforesaid things which matter most to us. I think its because we don’t do trouble. We don’t like thinking through the twisted, the complicated, the cringey, the difficult bits and we hate stepping on toes. We love to play it safe.

And while most of us spend our lives “wanting ”, there are the greats who “are” those things; those who actually live up to their desires in life and make change. And these are the people who get into an awful lot of trouble.

Now, let’s park the question of character to the side for moment. This is the most important bit so we’ll come back to it at the end.

'Getting pickled’ is an art. When you get in trouble to make an impact, you make people think. Sentiments and thoughts change in the process of trouble. Systems might change. There is endless possibility in trouble, if your intentions are right and carry weight. Getting in trouble, is a result of taking a chance. If you want to create so much as a tiny dent in this world, it might be good idea to practice this. Trouble.

But,

Try to be polite the whole time. Have a chat with Miss Conscience and see if she approves. If step on people’s toes earnestly apologise, say sorry, and explain why trouble is the way.
