Understand that your problem isn’t as big as it seems. And understand that there is always something you can do about it.
Sometimes when we’re inside our own heads, we feel consumed by our issues. We feel overwhelmed, like there is nowhere we can go, and nothing we can do to escape it. But that is only because we are completely full of ourselves, of our own thoughts and perspective. Well if we would just take a step back and look at the bigger picture, we would see how everything seems so different from that point of view.
We would see that we actually have the power to do something, we are just missing willingness. We would see that we can go anywhere else, we are not trapped as we so hardly believed to be. We would see that we can fail, and try again, go a different direction, try something new. We used to believe that things were definite, absolute… but they’re not.
Our life can change, transform, become something else, something different. But when and how we manage to do that it’s up to your own selves. And here is where it all becomes a cycle…
We’re not getting anywhere because we don’t do something different. And we’re not doing something different, because we feel like there is nothing to do, that we’ll fail either way. And we see things that way because we’re not stepping out of our own point of view. And that is exactly why we’re not getting anywhere.
We are not being objective, we are not being rational. We don’t do shit, and we keep staying where we have been for all this long. Clueless, feeling a victim, wondering why things keep on being the same way.
WELL BECAUSE WE ARE NOT EVEN TRYING. that’s why. And things will keep being the same way until we do the slightest thing to change them.
Get up, get moving, fuck up, mend back, break, build, fall down, get up. Learn the lessons you need to, leave people along the way. Take risks, try something new, change plans, change directions. Get things wrong. Try again. Try harder.
Set goals, set directions, set plans, set timeframes. Understand where you want to be, and what you need to achieve that. When do you want that to happen, and what do you have to do now to finally get there.
I’m sure everybody is just as lost at life as we are. Nobody’s got everything figured out. But I’m damn sure that if we want to be anywhere near that, WE HAVE TO START FUCKING TRYING. For the people we love, for our own sake. For our past self, so all it’s sacrifices weren’t all for nothing. For our present self, because this is our life now, and it’s all we got. And our future self, because I’m sure how grateful they will be, if we’d just take action right now.
Give your future self the best life you could wish for. Build your own fate, go where you wanna go, be who you want to be. But start somewhere, and start it now. Soon it’ll be too late, chances won’t be the same, doors will open and close, and each day that passes could mean a big difference. Don’t let years pass by, and then wonder where did your life go…
