Walk, walking...on life's rope. |
The thing is, I spent the greater part of my life trying to figure me out. And the only word that can describe what I came up with is; INCONSISTENCY. And that nagged at me..until I realized it is the best answer. Consistency means you're..stagnant. You're not moving anywhere. Consistency means you're playing it safe-aka scared. And for some people, that is okay. For me, it is not. Inconsistency means you're trying..you're learning..you're crying and laughing, you're making mistakes, but you're learning your lessons.It means you're giving people chances, and maybe they're letting you down, but you're learning, about holding on..and knowing when to let go.
Stagnant is okay...but I have no desire to be stuck and safe...but dead..or slowly dying ..or withering away on the inside. Life gets tough. So what?Tell me something I don't know. But not even the one who made us ever promised endless sun. It rains, but eventually the sun will come out.Some times eventually seems like forever, I know. But it will brighten up...yes, it will.
So, live..out loud..love to your toe tips(I place a disclaimer on this, though. For obvious reasons.)..take some risks, get out of your cocoon...eat sea food..but stay away from the froggies-nothing looking that way can be even remotely tasty...show the world your gifts..dare to be..ALIVE. Oh,stop whining!!the pain shan't kill you. Get away from consistency, and normal, and safe, and traditional, and people-pleasing.
Life is always going to be risky, and some times hurtful, and on the really messy days,Life will be plain& outright gut-wrenching...and painful to the point of numbness. BUT, if it hasn't killed you, it hasn't won.
I am all for taking chances, because that means you have moved..off your knees, onto your feet..head bowed, but off the ground.
Maybe you haven't completely cut off the chains, but you have rattled them. And that is it; little rattles wear down the chains eventually.
ABOUT ME; In a word, INCONSISTENT. And proudly so.
" You only have one life. But if you work it right, once is enough."
