Sometimes forget

Sometimes forget:

‍

Sometimes forget.

‍

How many people there are.

‍

How many souls.

‍

Humans.

‍

Kids.

‍

Seniors.

‍

People thriving.

‍

People struggling.

‍

People soaring.

‍

People crumbling.

‍

People out there.

‍

Just like you and me.

‍

Just trying to figure it out.

‍

Trying to make sense of this world.

‍

Trying to make it.

‍

Some got a head start.

‍

Others started way behind.

‍

But everyone is the same.

‍

Trying to do the best they can.

‍

Playing the cards they're dealt.

‍

Some succeed.

‍

Others fail.

‍

But everyone is trying.

‍

Everyone is doing their best.

‍

Or so they should be.

‍

Some people’s lives get derailed.

‍

Drugs.

‍

Alcohol.

‍

Women.

‍

A health scare.

‍

A death.

‍

Being born in the wrong country.

‍

Shit happens.

‍

But it’s what you choose to do about those circumstances that determines your future.

‍

Do you wallow?

‍

Do you let it fester?

‍

The pain and suffering that led you here?

‍

Or do you use it?

‍

Do you embrace it?

‍

Do you understand it?

‍

Then use it as fuel to do better.

‍

To be the best version of yourself you can be.

‍

That’s it.

‍

That’s the whole goal.

‍

That’s the secret.

‍

Be your best.

‍

Aim to be your best.

‍

Not someone else’s best.

‍

Your best.

‍

Stop comparing.

‍

Comparison is the thief of happiness.

‍

Compare only to your old self.

‍

Are you doing better than that person?

‍

If so, great.

‍

Keep going.

‍

If not, no worries.

‍

Fix it.

‍

Figure it out.

‍

Stop making excuses.

‍

Stop letting your bad habits win.

‍

Make changes.

‍

Small changes.

‍

Start with one thing.

‍

A few minutes a day.

‍

Wait.

‍

Then add the next.

‍

Then the next.

‍

Then the next.

‍

Soon you’ll be flying.

‍

Soaring towards goals you never imagined.

‍

But it starts with one choice.

‍

One decision.

‍

What do you want your life to be?

‍

Are you going to let life pass you by?

‍

Or go out and get it.

‍

Decide what you want out of life and go after it.

‍

No one else can decide that for you.

‍

You must decide it yourself.

‍

So go.

‍

Search.

‍

Fail.

‍

Show up.

‍

Again and again and again.

‍

Not for anyone else.

‍

But for you.

‍

Eventually you’ll find your way.

‍

Find your path.

‍

Find your people.

‍

Then one day you’ll wake up and realize maybe all of that was meant to happen in the first place.

‍

Maybe that was god’s plan all along.

‍

We sometimes forget.
