good morning and good evening
Hey there. We haven’t had a proper chat in a while. I wonder what voice I’m going to have this time. Maybe I’ll try to write a bit more classical style and you’ll stitch a British sounding voice to it. Or, maybe you know my voice too well for that to have much effect.
Today is a day like any other. You may think, “just another day, nothing special.” Well - yeah. It’s not special, yet.
You have to make your day something worth remembering, it doesn’t just happen. Not often, at least - it’s usually not in your control at all, if so. Today is another day, aye, another day to make some personal history and to break that ceiling once again. You’ve done it before, even in the hardest of times—you can do it again. That, I believe.
When life is shitty, so to speak, most people probably only think about trying to make life not-shitty. Honorable, and the reasonable thing to do. Once things get not-shitty (if they do), it seems often those motivations and draws are gone, and stagnation takes its place. Don’t get me wrong, keeping things stable and solid is great, I’m not advocating against that. I’m just saying that those motivations should shift with your place in life, whether it’s “my life sucks” or “my life is good, but I’ll make it even better”.
There aren’t many feelings as good as excelling past what you’ve worked so hard to already achieve. You don’t think actively about it, you aren’t celebrating yourself and your actions - but you find that you’re much more jubilant and generally more positive, subconsciously knowing that you have once again broken the ceiling.
My main point, is that you shouldn’t settle. The best thing for you changes each day; and while maintenance of these great things may seem hard, it’s less of a daunting task if you always give it your best. And if you fail, well—you’re back to the “life is good” stage. So why not take the plunge?
