No one can really see themselves.
Sure, you see your insides (the places you frequent) but most people don’t see how ridiculous they act.
We’re all the same booger-launching, fit-throwing, tantrum-fueled children we were to our parents growing up.
The difference is, as an adult, you’ve gained a sense of style and can dress up your bullshit.
You over-rationalize and explain away your shitty behavior. We say we learn from our mistakes and we only acted a certain way because the situation hit too close to home and we were having an “off” day, but all that’s bull.
The truth is, most don’t ever learn from their mistakes and most people NEVER change.
They just keep getting older, on the inside they’re that same 5 year old and the out- decaying. Til we die we do this.
My fear is this right here.
It’s being stuck in my ways, acting like a 4-year old. And not to generalize, but most people will have this fate. When you go to the local Costco and you see some old man shouting at the clerk because his prunes are marked up by $2, know that this phenomena is behind it all.
On their death beds– what you’ll hear from them: I coulda done so much more, I should of LIVED.
What sets us apart from all other life on this planet is largely our imagination. This muscle- improperly used will cause you to suffer, but if you embrace it- you can free yourself right now.
Pretend you have one year to live, now LIVE.
LIVE without holding back and holding on, just be. Whatever you’re worried about, it won’t matter a year from now, so it shouldn’t matter now. In the face of death, we gain clarity. The fact is, the only certainity in life is you will die.
So is this how you want to live?
