Don’t Settle

“Keep calm and carry on”.

What a bunch of crap.

Don’t keep calm. Don’t carry on. Not if that’s not whats going on for you. You’re upset? Be upset! You’re hurting? Be hurt! You’re sad? Be sad!

But don’t settle for that. Not forever.

Settling is fatal.

Settling is the way we die before we ever live.

Make changes. Value yourself. Know that you are worth what ever it is you think you have to do.

This is your life and it’s meant for living.

Make life more! Get off your morose ass and do something about it!

I’m fine with magic wands and I would grasp them with the deftness of a wizened magician if they crossed my path. So dream about them and pray for them if you like.

But in the mean time, know that the only magic wand you can guarantee will work, will always be there for you, will understand and empathise with you, will know your motives, challenge your morals and the only permanent solution that you can rely on is YOU.

Yes you, you big lump of self afflicted pity and illusionary failure. You who doesn’t think you’re handsome enough, thin enough, clever enough, kind enough, patient enough, rich enough, young enough, old enough…

YOU.

ARE.

ENOUGH.

Now quit dying and start living!

Change something.

Follow your heart.

Be brave.

Jump on life and ride it until you skid breathless, content and satisfied in to your grave.

And I’ll see you there. Breathless. And content. And satisfied.
