Have you ever been faced with a situation that leaves you without a clue as to what to do? Suddenly your brain is a black space filled with nothing and you need it to be filled with wit or logic or instinct or something! Then something filters through, a ringing something. It's that phrase, that motto, you may have forgotten about but presents itself when you need it most. It's that thing that gives you guidance in the blackness.
Recently, I have been working on a new one.
This is how it goes:
Life is easy if you make it easy.
This is my reasoning:
Things in life can be hard and because they are hard, we complain about them. Studying. School. Practices. Meetings. Relationships, especially. Life, man. But if you approach something with the right attitude, I don't think that something that is hard can't be easy. Let me give you an example.
There have been some conversations that I have been meaning to have for awhile. I didn't want to have them because facing the problems or the people just felt so hard. I was nervous. Then, I just realized that this is life! Why on earth (get it?) should it be hard?
It was just talking; it was just being honest, open, truthful. I didn't need to be nervous. So I decided that I wouldn't be. It was a hard subject to approach, sure. But that didn't mean I couldn't laugh or joke or be myself.
You know that test you are dreading or that person you have been meaning to tell how you feel? Well, remember this is life and it doesn't have to be hard even if it seems that way. Enjoy it.
These are my other favorite mottos (maybe they will resonate with you, too):
My own self at my very best all the time
You do you, I'll do me, and one day we'll do we
Live simply so others can simply live
You make me smile. A LOT.
