Do you?
Life’s too short for this, that was what I thought today after another day of long meetings, that, although they were indeed necessary and added value to the work I’m currently doing, it also constantly reminded myself about all the things I just don’t want to become, but that also scares me to blindly and naively fall into.
It reminded myself, not only to take action, but to do it faster, to not dwell on it, don’t doubt it, don’t wait for it; because nor life or anyone else is going to.
Make your call, act upon it, be patient but not tolerant; at least not about the things that you know you don’t have to, that can be done better or have not an actual reason to be in a certain way.
Life’s too short to spend it doing stuff you don’t like, stuff you don’t want to do. It is too short for regret, for missing opportunities, for trading joy and happiness, but most importantly, time in exchange for something that we don’t fully like.
Yes, we all have to pay the bills, have dreams, goals and responsibilities, and sometimes there is a disparity between all of them, they can be hard to balance, but why is that it always has to be leaning towards the negative side of our emotions? Why are we willing to give in? Why is that almost no one seem to like or fully enjoy what they do? AND Why is that ok?
I don’t have an answer, or maybe I have too many; but what I really know is that is not what I want, and although at times seems difficult to break from what seems to be end of the road, the reality is that there is not such a thing, unless you want it that way.
