Some bands record music nine years before it’s released.
Some people spend their entire lives never saying how they truly feel.
Some shoppers only buy things when they’re half off.
Some lovers never get to say goodbye.
Before, never, only, goodbye. These are words for people who live in time.
Now, yes, all, hello. These are words for people who live in the present.
You don’t have to wait nine years for others to celebrate your creation. You don’t have to keep your thoughts inside until they bring you down. You don’t have to wait for the bargain, because the bargain may never come. It is not necessary to physically be with someone in order to say goodbye.
We tell ourselves that we need the right conditions in order to make our move. But it’s not the conditions that stop us.
It’s ourselves.
When baby spiders crawl out of their silken nest, they immediately begin spinning threads of their own to connect themselves to the world. We often forget to tether ourselves in this way. We blame the wind or the nest or the circumstance for keeping us from realizing who we want ourselves to be.
What we forget is who we are already.
What we forget is that same person is our key to who we will become.
Because who you will become is already who you are.
See life this way, and everything will change.
Beautifully said.
