If you are a size 6 then why are you still wearing a 5 1/2?

DAY 23 OF THE 30 DAY WRITING CHALLENGE

If our curtains are dirty we change it.

If the haircut is bad we change it.

Then why the bloody hell can’t we change our shoe?

So you got a bad deal. And so many others did too. They seem to be comfortable in it. So why shouldn’t you?

Because maybe you don’t want to feel just ‘comfortable’.
Maybe you want to feel great.

Because you’d rather run & fall in a 6, instead of walk in a good looking but painful 5 ½.

Because they told you in school that 5 ½ would be just fine. And that it is all you will ever need for gentle, smooth ride. What they didn’t tell you is that even though the journey with 6 can be bumpy & grey, but there is never a dull moment and you feel the wind rush through your hair.

Because 5 ½ is plain and mediocre and mediocrity is for losers. (Do you ever choose a mediocre restaurant over a great restaurant?)

Because 6 is hard to get, but so are all the other good things in life.

Because you were meant to wear a 6.
And since you can only wear one shoe, might as well go with what you are ‘meant’ to instead of what you are ‘supposed’ to.
