What is the secret to life? You’ve probably heard this question a bunch of times, if you haven’t you’ve thought about it. This question usually leaves you feeling frustrated & with more questions than answers. Today I’m going to provide you with an answer that will make you more optimistic about your life. Stick around, the answer might shock you.
Let’s start with a few cliches which you might have heard before, “Life is what you make of it.”, “You can be anything you want”, & my all-time favorite “life is not hard, you make it hard.” Chances are you have heard these quotes before, applied them for a bit & thought to yourself “what a load of shit.” Am I right? Today, right here, right now I’m going to give you the “magic pill” that will get you results (if applied right). All it will cost you is some of your time, it’s up to you how much of it you’d like to give.
Without further ado, here is the answer. It’s You, yup that’s correct, none other than you. Let me explain by using that first quote “Life is what you make of it” that’s true. You’re not special, I’m not saying you don’t matter or that you’re not special to someone, you do & you are. However, if life kicked you square in the balls & spat in your face numerous times, welcome to life. It has happened to everyone, you’re not special. I was born with a form of epilepsy, my dad couldn’t keep his dick in his pants, my mom was an alcoholic & I was bullied for 13 years, to name a few. So what? Your situation is not unique to you. It’s up to you if you want to sit on your ass and wallow, or, you can take the lessons that you have learnt, learn from them, use them as fuel for your future & keep on climbing that mountain of life. Trust me, there was a lesson in every shit situation that you’ve gone through. No one can make you learn from your mistakes, only you can.
“You can be anything you want to be.” Well, maybe not anything, however, there are dozens of free online courses, LEARN SOMETHING. You can work your way to something better, something different. You can get a better job. You have to apply yourself, you have to grow as a person. If you have a smartphone, tablet, computer, or laptop with a decent internet connection, you have no excuse not to learn something. I’d start with something in I.T. and another language. Nike has the best slogan in times of uncertainty “just do it”. No one can do it for you, only you can learn for yourself.
One of my closest friends has told me on numerous occasions ” live your life like that of a lion, not like a meek little lamb” I’ve started to do that, whenever I feel like doing something but I’m not sure if I should, or if I’ll be any good I just wing it & go for it. Fuck being scared and living in the shadows, you were born, you’re gifted with a brain, sight, limbs. If you can walk, run, fight, fuck , wheel a barrow & drive a truck, you have no limits. I have two dear friends in wheel chairs. When I look at them, they make me feel subpar because they do it all. One of them bought a three wheeled motorcycle that he rides on a regular basis. It’s their mindsets coupled with their actions that make them great, they don’t sit & wallow. Get up & get going, no one is going to do it for you, life doesn’t owe you a damn thing. “life isn’t hard, you make it hard” stop making it hard & just do it. Whatever it is.
