Follow your heart. Where is your heart leading you? Chase your dreams. What are your dreams? And never stop until your soul is satisfied. Its better to truly live than to always be safe. Above all else, believe in yourself, and never stop chasing what you want the most.
Attack life with a ferocity unmatched by anything on this earth. Live your life don't let your life live you! Fear will run you in circles. Fear is used to control us everyday, fear of getting a ticket.. so don't speed, fear of getting fired.. so be good at work... fear runs our lives everyday. And while it does keep us safe to an extent is can also entrap us if we let it. Ive been through enough shit that Ive learned that truly the only thing to fear really is fear itself. Be smart, be sharp, be honest, be realistic, be determined, unyielding, and stubborn and the rest will fall into place.
Feeling helpless is truly an illusion that we give to ourselves so that we don't have to work so hard at life. If we open our eyes and face reality there is nothing we cannot do. There is always a way. We are our own worst enemies, no truly, we defeat ourselves worse than anything else on this earth. All of life is at our fingertips. Who or what is really keeping us from getting where we want to go?:
Money? No we can save Money.. it just takes longer..and most of us don't want to sacrifice long enough to save a lot of Money. People? No, other people are only people they have no control over us at all. Time? No, we can make time... truly if you really want something you will make time. We are the most limiting factors in our lives. Because we fear, we worry, we calculate, we obsess, we feel sorry for ourselves, we deny, we make excuses.... if we clear all the shit out of the way there really is nothing stopping us but the illusions we place in front of ourselves.
Just stop, ask whats keeping you from doing what you want, or whats keeping you from being where you want to be in life. Then honestly,(that's the hard part) honestly ask yourself why its stopping you? Dissect it, analyze it, pick it apart and look at it from different angles... its probably all just an illusion.
Will you make mistakes? Will you get hurt? Will you have regrets? Most likely yes but in the end you will prevail... smarter, wiser, stronger and far ahead of the "safe" people... and what amazing stories you will have to tell, what an amazing life you will have lived! Ive cried, Ive died, Ive been euphoric, Ive many regrets, and many triumphs... sometimes I wish I could forget the bad times but really as the time goes on I'm not sad for what Ive been through or where Ive been.... I LIVED and I am alive and when someone says to me... oh I'm going to break up with you.. I just kind of want to laugh... and I think to myself.. is that all. It would hurt but compared to what Ive been though it would only be a fleeting pain because I know that really its nothing and my life will go on. Things are in so much better perspective. I see life so much clearer now. What is real, what is an illusion, the beauty and the sorrow. I wish I could share it with everyone but we all have to live life on our own time and in our own way. So many people will never truly know what it is to live and to be alive. Life is so exquisite. The only way to appreciate it is to live it head on and never stop forging our way through it. Its just too short and in the end I am quite certain we will not wish we had been safe but that we had instead lived it... do or die, balls to the wall.
