Good luck with time

Make your life meaningful in whatever way you can. Work not because you have to prove something to others but because it’s the only way you know how to breathe. Work hard. Work harder than you dream. Thinking makes all the difference though. Work smart. Work smarter than you did last year. There is no place for complacency and lethargy in today’s corrupted world. Be strong in your sheer convictions. While you are at it, don’t measure everything with time. Time is not the appropriate parameter. Come to think of it, there is no such a thing as “it’s too late to” because what you accomplished at any given period of time means the same to you. It may not mean the same to others but it does to you. You forget this crucial part as you get busy comparing yourself with others or worse, impressing others.

You are different from other people just like others are different from you. You don’t have to conform to others’ validation on when you should do this or that or whether you should grey like this or that. Society was formed to protect us, not to enlighten us. It’s you who decides the path for your story. At the end of the day, we are leaving behind tales for people we’ll never meet, for people we’ll never be able to sit down and correct in case they misunderstand. That’s how it is. Our best shot is at leaving behind a story that is going to be a witness to itself. You don’t know what the future is going to be like.

You are the architect of your world.

Organize it.

Destroy it.

Rebuild it.

Nurture it.

But most importantly, own it.

There is no other fucking way left.

Now is when everything changes. Now is also when nothing changes. You get to decide which one is it going to be. Any given moment.
