Storms are truth.
Most people think difficult times, tragedies, are not supposed to happen. Don’t be naïve. What makes you, or me, so special?
There is nothing outside of life, except death. Everything that happens is life. Your problems are not unique.
Don’t fight storms, or seek escapes. That’s what irresponsible people do. They make all kinds of excuses for not realizing their potential.
Life is a gift, so is everything that comes with it. Don’t look away. Embrace it, dammit! It’s yours.
Stop hanging onto immaturity and weakness. There’s no escape. Death will find you like it does every living thing. It’s okay. Death is life.
You’ve been looking at life all wrong. That’s why you’re anxious and worried. Just let go. Live correctly. Make the most of the time you have. Stop slacking. Connect with reality by being your best.
Do you want a different life? Then you be different!
Dream big and kick negativity in the ass. You’ll never get rid of doubts, so tell them to chill for a minute, you have work to do. Keep it right there, with people too. Be mindful of the company you keep. Don’t roll with just anyone. Have standards and values that honor your self-worth. Put people to the test. Your time is valuable. If they can’t understand that, cut them off!
Figure out what you want, then make a plan to get it. Don’t hesitate or wait for the perfect time, which never comes. Start now, where you are. Add pieces as you go, but you must start doing.
The internal strength you’re developing by taking responsibility for yourself is all the support you need.
Later,
Gary
