If not now, then when?
Tell yourself that every day, like a Mantra you whisper in your mind whenever you ask yourself if you should suppress the superhero you see and know yourself to be in your mind. And make no mistake you are one.
It’s all the small actions you take every day to lift yourself out of your hardships, to breathe life into the reality you’ve created for yourself, to bring moments of joy to the people who cross your path. To create, to make, to live, to exude greatness in all moments of your life, both big and small.
Why Attraction is Choice
We are capable of choice and it’s a responsibility that we rarely hold ourselves accountable for. Choose to live, choose to die. Choose to stay in, choose to go out. Choose to hate, choose to love. Choose to make life a great adventure or choose to let it fall flat. Choose, choose, choose. I’ve said choose so many times I almost feel like I’m about to board a train. And what is love, if not a train that we can board or alight at many stations.
What kind of ticket will you buy?
Accepting the Expiration Date
As a result, I live by the rule of the expiration date: the understanding that there is a fixed time limit that cannot or should not be exceeded. At some point, it will become necessary to end things.
Regardless of good times, strong connections or, of course, love, it is understood between both parties that things will end. It's not a cold process. It's something that comes from understanding one another, the environment, the situation and the moment in time. It's painful, certainly, but it's something that is almost necessary to maintain sanity.
You need to embrace rejection, seriously. (Updated)
Every time I have made the decision to move forward, in success or failure, I have learned and experienced more joy than I could have ever dreamed of than if I had made the choice to make no choice at all.
And so my observation is this. Embrace rejection. Embrace it.
Hearing the truth about the one who got away
In the meantime, you tell yourself whatever story you need to, that you can hold onto, that you can build your hopes on, with the idea that maybe over time, or one day, you can change their mind and they will see the light at last… but still the truth remains the same: they just aren’t as invested in the same future that you see.
