Maybe tomorrow…

Just like tomorrow is not guaranteed, neither is our next breath.

Each moment taken for granted is a moment lost.

Each loved one taken for granted is a heartache earned.

Each abandoned resolution made after tasting loss or visiting death’s door is food for the seeds of hypocrisy and self-loathing within.

The victim mindset turns supporters into enemies, and significant others into options, until what we once cherished is lost, and what we’re left with intensifies our yearning for the past, or for death.

When the pain of the past overshadows our joy in the present, the future loses its lightness, and our souls succumb to the darkness.

The shame of admitting failure prevents us from making right what we got wrong.

All because we were distracted by the harsh criticisms echoed in our narrative in our mind.

A narrative that convinces us that sincere advisors are criticising our efforts, and those who celebrate the shadow of what we’re capable of are in fact our friends.

We find what we seek. Shame in the past, purpose in the present, or hope in the future.

Sadly, most lose themselves to the past, while protecting themselves from embracing the promise that the footie holds, in the process discarding the ones who love them most.

Who are you discarding because they believe in you more than you believe in yourself?

Own Your Life.
