When there is no room left for excuses and when there is nowhere left to turn, the next few steps may seem painful or perhaps risky. But rest assured, when there’s nothing left, then there’s nothing left, which means the next steps we take are far more worthy than anything else in our life.
Therefore, now is the time to pick up the pieces and see what we can do, “to make a go of it.”
I ask the question, why?
Why do we fight? Why do we argue?
Why do we waste our time on insignificant things when we know that time is short, the moment is all we have, and if this is so. Then why do we spend our precious time and bicker back and forth with the ones we love?
What’s the point?
Or is there one?
If you want to leave then leave.
If you want to go then go.
Don’t fight.
If you’re waiting for the next thing to go wrong or you feel that sense of impending doom and you’d rather the world fall apart now, then be honest about it.
You don’t need to look for an excuse.
you don’t need to start a fight.
It is amazing to me.
The brain.
The mind.
The way we think . . .
This is all amazing to me.
And here’s a fair question.
How much time have you wasted on worries or doubt?
How often have you missed out on good times, simply because your mind was elsewhere?
How much time have you wasted, looking around with envy and meanwhile, you fail to see what you have as anything that comes with worth
To thine own self be true.
I have heard this line more times than I can count.
I have heard this said to me since I was young.
And what does this mean?
To thine own self be true.
Be true to yourself.
Be good to yourself.
Be honest with yourself.
Be humble.
Be modest.
Do not go and pretend or act or lie or wear a disguise to please the masses or to appease somebody else.
Be you.
Whatever this means to you, it means to you.
Whomever you are, be that person and be that person without apology.
Do this.
Not everyone is good at heart.
Not everyone cares or is caring, and not everyone is kind, honest, or loving.
I know this.
How often have you compromised yourself or negotiated your dreams for something less-than?
How many times have traded your own value for something cheaper or lower than its worth?
Seriously.
Think about this.
How many times have you settled for something because it was “good enough” or “close enough” and so, how many times have you allowed yourself to be tricked and then you took the trade because having something is better than having nothing?
I know what love is and yet, I fought and squandered and wasted too many valuable moments and lost myself to meaningless arguments.
I have wasted time as much as anyone else has.
Maybe Iv’e wasted more time than anyone else has.
Who klnows?
I have given myself to people who were dishonest and did not deserve me.
And yes. I am just as guilty of being dishonest.
It is hysterical when people accuse or point fingers and blame, and yet, they fail to see how they are hypocrites or how they’e lied just the same.
And yes, they are just as guilty as those who they accuse and condemn, and yet, they excuse themselves with their pitiful lies and justifications.
Excuses are just excuses.
To thine own self be true.
If this is the way to go, then this is the way to go, which means that I have to be true to myself.
There are no accidents and there are reasons why I am where I am and there are reasons why I am who I am.
The difference between good and evil people is they both know their truths.
One of them looks to be honest and improve and the other is fine where they are or they come up with excuses to make their evils okay.
I am not fine to be where I am.
So, let me be good.
Let me be honest.
Let me be true.
And let me make this worth it
Otherwise, everything I do
is just a waste
