ALL OR NOTHINGS

Updated: Nov 11, 2021

Life does not have to be lived

Or measured

In ALL or NOTHINGS.


There is a whole world of opportunity and happiness

That exists between


Being the BEST…

Knowing EVERYTHING…

Having the MOST…


And


NOT trying.

NEVER starting.


Don’t let yourself get defeated,

Before even taking ONE step in a new direction,

By the fear of being just ‘ordinary’

Or ‘average’…


YOU are your only limit.


Try today, and try tomorrow,

And try again the day after that.


You are allowed to be imperfect.

You are allowed to learn.

You are allowed to get better with time.

You are allowed to sometimes pick new things up,

And put other things down.


The human experience

Is meant to be just that…

Experiences.

Lots and lots and lots of them.


You don’t have to be

A Master,

An Expert,

A Guru…


There are already enough of all those things.

Don’t believe me?

Just ask Google.


So rather than comparing yourself to

All the things you ‘could NEVER become’ now,

Or all the things you ‘could NEVER accomplish’ now…


Instead of wishing you’d tried it

When ‘you were younger’

When ‘you were single’

When ‘you were still in school’…


Just do it.


You don’t have to be ALL,

And you don’t have to be NOTHING.


Just exist somewhere in between,


And then keep doing the damn thing.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE

When everything around you Starts to feel out of focus. And your path forward Is suddenly unclear… It might just be time For a new pair of glasses, And some better lighting.

FROM SCRATCH

I will never Not be bewildered By the juxtaposition Of my inability To bake a loaf of bread, And my body’s Innate ability To create another human being From scratch.

COMMON SENSE

If where you are today Is not where you want to be tomorrow... Then don’t wake up tomorrow, And do the same thing you did today.
