It Doesn’t Have To Be Like This

It doesn’t have to be like this.

It could be better. It could be worse. You just have to choose. No, you didn’t have a choice in the beginning. But you do have a choice now. You could spend the rest of your life thinking about all the things you could’ve had, all the ways people have wronged you, or you could do empower yourself. Choose.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

Don’t worry about going the right way. Worry can be paralyzing. Just move. Once you begin moving, you can start calibrating direction. You can turn any way. I promise. You can always turn around if you don’t like the direction you’re going.

Nothing here is permanent.

Except children and some diseases.

And I’m sure if you had something life-threatening, you’d move with conviction. You’d find a way to live the way you desire. Stop doubting yourself. Stop doubting your abilities.

You’re not alone.

You’re not the first unique mind to think this way. You’re not the first revolutionary to be uncomfortable. You’re not the first great talent to want more for yourself. You’re certainly not the only one. You’re here now. You can change it. You can. You just have to get out of your head. No more negative talk. You need to be your biggest ally in this process.

Because for now, forever, you need to believe in yourself for this to happen.

Now move.
