Why are we so hard on ourselves? Why do we mentally tally every failure, every mistake, every deficiency and use it as the hammer with which we pound ourselves down? Sometimes we need to rise above the muck and mire of our daily lives, of the things that hurt us, and agree to push on through it. Sometimes we need to cast it all aside and body surf the momentum of life. Good things will happen if you're open to them. Bad things lurk in shadows and wait for you to be vulnerable.
If you allow the quicksand to weigh you down, to suck you in, you'll never move on. No excuses. You can either move or sink. There is no standing still, for if you stand still all of the forces around you will just move on without you- and expect you to stand still and won't understand when you resist. Won't understand why you are crying in the car, or why you won't accept things as they are. If you sink, you'll...well...sink.
Don't sink. Move. Live.
And don't get me started on being a part of something. We are all part of something. Sometimes you can be a part of something if you just accept the invitation. Sometimes it's better to do that...gives you perspective. Gives you energy. Gives you a fresh start.
Don't we all want a fresh start from time to time?
