C'est la Vie.
What a strange phrase that is...
"That's life" or "That's the life"
But really, is that life? Is this all there is? Why can't we just stand up and change things, make a difference? What's the point of living a life as if we're all just a bunch off sheep, happy to be lead hither and thither... what kind of a life is that?
We should be forging our own ways, throwing caution ot the winds. We only live the once... why waste it doing things that don't make us feel alive? Why keep going on at a mediocre pace, day by day in the same grey suit?
There's colour out there! We should be sprinting headlong into life, breathing in the air in gulps! There's so much more to life than just sitting around doing what you're told.
Don't you have dreams? Don't you ever wish to do more? BE more?
Do it, don't think, don't plan, just jump and reach and strive for it. People give up so easily, to fall deeper than they had already dug themselves. We let ourselves be trapped in deep, cold, sunless pits where there is every chance of escape, no matter how hard it is, it's there. Reach to light, accept life for not what it is, but what it could be.
Feel the wind rushing through your hair, rolling in waves around every strand, caressing your neck. The rain falling down, soaking you through and through, every droplet running down you skin, tiny tracks rush, tickling down. Feel the sunlight warm you, flow through you in gentle, calming waves of assurance and warmth.
There's so much to experience outside of our box of fears, doubts and worries. Burst out! Set your self free! Let yourself come into the light, blinking, flushed and ready to take control of your destiny. Come out of that cold, dank place, and find the real world, the green, blue, bright world!
Live! Live life to the fullest. Because no one else will do it for you, no one else. Only you can do it. Because, at the end, what will people say? 'He was a good worker. He did a good job. He was an asset.' or would you rather have them say "he was alive and full of zest. Always reaching and striving for the silver stars. He is now a guiding light, a star himself."
Which would you rather have said? It's your choice. Go ahead, continue on your current track, be a valued asset.
But if you've listened to what I've said, if you can feel yourself, beating inside your heart to truly be happy, to truly be alive...
Then break free and shine!
