Riding the rough waves

Hi my people! 

Something about life, so scary yet so intriguing and inviting you can’t skip it nor avoid it did you want to.

It’s in doing something for the first time. Fixing your very first cup of coffee, first day at school, first day in love, first time, first car, first house … it’s the firsts. So scary yet they are everything we live for.

We know it could go wrong yet we still so hesitantly walk right in. Is it because it’s always that important? The answer is no. However, it’s the THRILL of achievement that makes us come back for more – the second time, third and sometimes even tenth.

One very I would say thoughtful person once said, “We all lose in the end.” And I also hear every so often that no one can survive life. All these are humble reminders that we all in the end leave this world. But also, on the other end of the same goalpost, you have LEGACY. Certain people will simply put it as what one is remembered for. Some create it and will die for it to take shape, whereas some others look on and don’t mind what becomes of them. They insist on we all lose.

But what if you actually lived and I mean lived, rather that waiting for the end whose time you don’t know.

Here; let’s see. We could start with working out. Nope. Not the cliché. I mean like on a given day, wake up, stretch, deep breaths, shower, whip up yourself some great healthy breakfast, make some money, if you already have it, enjoy it doing the things you love and make some more, fall in love, don’t if you don’t wanna. In short do as you please.

See how easy peasy that is? Yeah however by do as you please, I mean all the while getting better. Lots of people confuse ‘being yourself’ to remaining the same without improving to a better you at all. And I say work to become the best you could possibly be. It goes a very long way.

Have priorities in life and do that provided they are not the kind that will make you dislike yourself eventually or get jealous of those whose priorities sound better. For example, if in doing you, you gonna want to wake up and lie on the couch watching Tv all day long as you munch away at unhealthy food, you gonna grow very fat and automatically think leaner people are proud, but remember - choices baby choices. It’s they that got you here. I know this is some very long serious rumble but I hope we all get something.

So, wake up do something, but while at it, make sure it’s something meaningful!
