Okay, great, but why?

That's how you spend your day?

I see.

How come?

And when one is tasked with looking at their own life through a magnifying glass, some hidden truths always emerge.

It shines a spotlight in the corner of the room, illuminating those shadows where one can, if they look hard enough, make out the wolf in sheep's clothing that is the phrase, because that's how I've always done it.

We get in life what we accept.

We are what we allow ourselves to be, and if we don't ask ourselves which mountain is worth climbing, which ocean is worth crossing, we simply float with the tide.

We're at the mercy of the winds.

We forfeit the mastery over our own lives that awaits if we're willing to take that wheel and navigate.

So here are a few things to take with you.

First is you are bound by nothing.

The parameters you exist between are of your making.

You can get in that car and drive.

You can walk away and begin something new.

You can entertain that vision that's been conveniently tucked away in the back of your mind.

Understand that to not go is fine, but it's a decision.

And perhaps a decision you'll wish you made differently.

And second, difficult today liberates you tomorrow.

It's easier to observe.
