A Negative Phase (Journal#9)

Tweet

Let me guess...the world is unfair and life is against you? Go ahead, give up like you always do. Mope around feeling sorry for yourself. What's the matter? You can't handle the truth? Would you like me to sugarcoat it for you? Well...I'm not going to. Life is not easy and you are not a fool. You keep acting like the victim all of the time because you see how things aren't going your way, when the choice has always been right there in front of you. You have the tools. A working brain, a functioning body, so get a grip and stop acting like you haven't got a clue. Yes, life is not fair, and things aren't always going to go your way...tell me something new. The world is not going to be laid out nicely in front of you. Every time things do not go right, are you just going to sit around and wonder why? Stay up late and cry yourself to sleep every night? Is that really how you want to live your life? Do you ever get tired of feeling so damn sorry for yourself? The world does not owe you anything, it never has. You need to get out from under this negative cape and leave all of that stuff in the past. The biggest mistake is believing that you do not have control of your life. There is not a choice that couldn't be further from the truth. If you want something you need to chase it. The only person who can determine your success in life is you. You hate your job? Quit... If you do not see an opportunity, create one... At the end of the day, life is not going to be handed to you on a plate. You need to work hard until it gets done. You are going to learn that life is complex. You are going to fail and get rejected time, and time again. If it was easy, everyone would win. Is it going to be hard? Absolutely... Never let that stop you from fighting for what could be a fantastic opportunity. The chance to be who you really want to be. That freedom isn't worth any amount of money. Stop saying you're going to do something, and actually go do it. At the end of the day, anything worth having never comes easy. You cannot play victim the rest of your life because before you know it, it will all pass by within the blink of an eye. You will sit there on your death bed wondering why you stopped yourself from doing so many things in life. There will be times when you are going to be in jobs that you hate, be around people that you don't like, that's just life... I would be doing you an injustice if I told you otherwise. Life is not going to be all rainbows and sunshine. It's going to be hard work, dedication, and in most cases, sacrifice. You need to decide if you are going to fight for what's right. Trust me, I understand. Life can be scary and intimidating, but it can be incredibly wonderful...if you just let it be.
