Sit and wait for fate and you lose everything…
It’s in every single one of us— the need to look up at the stars.
At heart, we’re all believers and round and round we go into believing whatever “thing” offers us peace.
From a fat man invading your house in December to the idea that life happens more than once, it doesn’t matter.
We need to believe.
But this does come with disadvantages, turns out, believing isn’t so harmless. Actually, it’s what decides the entire trajectory of your life.
Here’s how I see it:
Believe in fate and you default to whatever life decides to hand you or create your own legend and watch reality bend to you.
I used to obsess with my destiny– thinking about why I’m here, what’s my purpose, what am I called to do? I grew miserable AF thinking about this shit and not so ironically, the more I thought about it– the larger the gap between me and whatever it was I thought I wanted.
Following that, I went through my nihilistic goth phase– where everything felt meaningless because I wasn’t the special chosen one my mom led me to believe.
Somewhere between bouncing from hope and despair, the aftertaste of wisdom kicked-in and then I realized its whatever the hell you decide.
Whether there is or isn’t something out there for you is entirely irrelevant, your job is direction not destination.
You need to focus on MOVING.
Not tomorrow, today.
Where you go actually doesn’t matter, just that you are going. Something always turns into something more, but nothing guarantees no more or less than what you started with… nothing.
The point is: too much of YOU doesn’t help you much.
Quit obsessing over me, me, me and refocus on where me oughta be. That’s how you get somewhere you’d rather be.
The choice is always YOURS.
If nothings worked out, make some new mistakes. Try something radically different, forget yourself for a year and “act as if”
You’ll be surprised where it’ll take you and at least you won’t be where you began.
