Shout it from the Rooftops....or the Internet

Have you ever gotten a burning passion and desire to do something, to be or become somebody, to change something, to learn, or experience something.

You see something and your heart swells up ten times. 

Maybe even your eyes tear up.

Some nights you lay awake thinking about it. 

You have those 2am motivational bursts. (Maybe that's just me) 

More than anything in the world, you want this, you need it, and you can do it.

I'm guilty of experiencing all that. Not guilty, fortunate. 

But then the next day, maybe your motivation dies away. Does that ever happen to you? I'm sure it does. 

You can't carry on. You have no motivation. Why? What happened to that fiery passion? 

It drowned in your doubts, your insecurities, your flaws, your weaknesses. It got shot down by the doubting, or judging words of others.

So you give up on that passion, that dream. You'll settle for less. It's okay. You could never make it anyways.

But then you see something, someone, somewhere, and you heart swells up, a whole zoo explodes in your stomach, and you passion flares up. 

It was never gone. It was always there. Buried. Buried beneath all your doubts, insecurities, flaws, weaknesses. 

You can never drown your passions. They are not random, they are your calling. No matter how much you bury them, they will never leave. 

Maybe you're ashamed of your passion. Your dreams.

Why should you? You shouldn't. 

Dr. Seuss was mocked for his cartoons, and books, But he didn't care. It was his passion, his dream. He loved it, and it didn't matter what anyone else said. 

Don't be ashamed of your passions. Your dreams. Shout them from the rooftops. Or the internet. Let them be known. 

Don't drown them in your doubts, you are more capable then you know. 

Hold your head high and press on through the flaming gorge of your self doubt. The person you will become.....I can promise you it will be infinite. 

If you are so passionate about something that you cannot go a day without thinking about it or calm your heart when it swells on the thought of it, don't give up on it. 

Fight hard. You are a warrior. It is yours as long as you fight your hardest. 

It will be hard. Your journey will be hard. But you can do it. 

Promise me you'll do it. 

The journey along the path of life is long. And hard. 

Learn from the past, be excited for the future, and keep you eyes right in front of you. Locked on your goal.

Journey on. One step at a time. 

It's yours if you are willing to claim it. Claim it proud. You are worthy of your dreams. Work hard. And it is yours. 

Embrace it and be infinitely you. 

---------------------

This is basically just a reminder to myself. A reminder to not be ashamed of my dreams and my passions. To not tell myself that I am not good enough, or to doubt myself. A reminder to work hard. To fight hard. A reminder to love myself throughout all my flaws. A reminder to quit being my own worst enemy. A reminder to never give up. A reminder to be infinitely me. 

Just to clarify. This post is not talking about crushes in any way. I just thought I'd clarify that, because as I was writing it, I was like, "This sounds like I'm confessing my love for someone" No? Maybe it just sounded like that to me.  But anyways. 

Life is good! :) Remember, your dreams don't come true, unless you work your butt off to make them come true. :) 

Let It Go

The more I live on this cosmic mass. The more I realize that the little things don't matter. They DO! But they don't. At least in this case.

I mean the little things like......

The one thing that that one person said. Maybe they meant it to hurt you. Maybe they didn't. But why hold on to it? It's so little. It doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter.

Or when your little brother was being annoying, and it bugged the heck out of you. Yeah. That doesn't matter.

Or when you got left out of something, and you felt lonely. That freaking hurts! But guess what? It doesn't matter unless you let it. 

Honestly. Is it going to bother you or even matter in a year from now? Or two seconds latter. Or a day latter. A year latter. Or what? Most likely it's not. 

Brace yourself for a super stupid analogy. 

Today I was out for a run. It was cold. I did not want to go because I hate running but I love running and ya know! Love/hate relationship baby. So I forced my self out the door screaming (in my head, I'm not crazy, obviously....ha. ha.) that that half marathon wasn't going to run itself.

BUT ANYWAYS. Where am I even going with this. I was running. and I was like "The inversion, it's killing my lungs, they burn, I'M GOING TO DIE. God bless me! I'm going to collapse on the side of the road, and no one is going to notice me. and then some organ dealer is going to take my body and sale my organs on the internet. I should just stop running. This sucks. I'm literally going to die." 

But. Breaking news guys. When I got home. I was just fine. I didn't die. My organs were not sold on the internet. They are still here as far as I know and yeaaah. I was just fine!

It was a little minuscule thing. All I had to do was sing along to my music, and put a smile on my face. Enduring all the way. 

So. That made no sense. Congrats Wesleigh. 

But yeah. What I'm trying to say. Looking at the big span of things, these little everyday things, they don't matter! They may seem like they matter in the moment, but they don't. They won't matter tomorrow. Or the next day. Next year. Next life. 

UNLESS. You eat poison, that matters. Or you wonder what that red buttons does, that definitely matters. 

But really. Just let it go. Don't stress about those little things that really just don't matter. 

Live your life to the fullest! :)
