Immortality
He with the courage to fail will live forever. A safe existence tells us our needs will be met. But is temporary; it also guarantees a certain mortality. The stories we leave will transcend time. These stories are the culmination of the very best of what this world has to offer.
They’re what you get when you push through the smoke screen and find what matters.
When you would Trip over your feet one million times just to get to the view from the top of your dream.
Then Comes the inevitable question of why. Why risk it all. Why dream of greener pastures of settling for nothing but the best?
Because to those peering out from the shadows, your existence is trivial. It’s unnecessary, it’s inexplicable.
But we are not rational beings. And that’s ok. Maybe that’s the way it should be. I would go as far as to say that a safe existence is the crazy thing. That to not soak up every ray of sunlight, swim through every body of water, run through every field possible.. THAT IS Crazy.
To not give in to that desire is crazy. And for what? So we don’t get condescending looks of ppl that don’t know? I’ve fallen.. and I will fall over and over. Because to remain upright is to watch the world go by and I refuse to. The view from my window is fine. But the view from the outside is unparalleled.
Nothing is at more value than what we get when we chase the intangibles.
Follow the music. Leave the expectations in search of the possibilities! Because the former has a defined limit, and the latter has NO END!
It’s where some go right and some go left, and the ones afraid to get dirt on their Knees and mud on their hands draw a circle around themselves! And then call You crazy!
But there’s nothing crazy about why you do it!
There’s nothing CRAZY about wanting success, or passion! These things are immortal! They remain long after we do! They are the very absence of what it means to live over night! That compulsion to walk away from a scripted story is not wrong!! It’s what’s beautiful with this world! It’s your reason to struggle to fight to persevere! Because no matter how many times you fall, you will rise again!
