WHAT’S INSIDE YOUR GLASS?
How many times have you been told to cut some slack?
Or how many times have you said the same thing to someone?
Just so recently I’ve discovered that for the last couple of months and days I’ve been surrounded by pretty nice and wonderful people. People who tried (and are still trying) to convince me that I am worth their time and they are worth mine. People who came in my most boring days to give me some taste of their salad life. People I barely knew and who barely knew me who chose to unveil their pains and let me witness their tears. I was hearing myself giving an advice, saying things I should have said to myself. I was making others to realize some things I should have realized for my own. And at the end of every conversation I would end up saying, “It’s easier when you’re outside the looking glass.”
What’s inside your glass that you’ve never seen on someone else’s?
Yet we act like they are all new and unconquered.
What are the things you know but you haven’t really thought about? Maybe a lot to mention.
We know exactly how we wanted things to turn out, to end up but are too reluctant to alter our ways. So there goes the unpleasant result and most of us settle for just “getting used to it” and that because we are temporal beings we know things will eventually change. So little did we realize that time just ticks, every second is a piece of our lives we waste by just wishing and waiting for a better tomorrow.
Life is now, now!
So I encourage you to get up on your feet, live the life, don’t be scared.
What I’m saying might be inside your glass, so close and vast and you’re even immersed to think it’s possible to take gulps. But it is possible. I do not know. But the fact that we weren’t made and given life only to get doomed that’s where you’ll get the strength because you know there’s a way to get out of the rut you’re in. We just have to be ready.
And so I was preparing myself for the many realities to come, sure most of them are not the ones I want but they are the ones I need. Sure as they come I’d be confused and mad but eventually they will make me the person that I am destined to become. So I guess I should stop being reluctant to change my wrong ways if I really want things to turn out right.
And if I really care about now, I must ACT now.
I must learn how to forgive.
Loosen up.
I should smile more often.
Speak softly.
Listen harder.
Be more patient, I mean real patient without any stain of pretention.
And most of all… BELIEVE again, HOPE again.
And I just can’t be too cynical and pessimistic, no, not for me
And not for you too.
