A COMMON MAN WITH AN UNCOMMON STORY
‘Fulfilling lives is only for people brave enough to find them’
Man, I heard that shit somewhere and it’s just resonated with me and I don’t even have to explain that to you because you already know!
I’ve listened to a lot of motivational content for years and I’ve taken as lot of life lessons from all the content. This is my first ever attempt at creative writing, I have no background in it, no training…I’m just another guy from a council estate in England who has a mind and soul so I hope you like what you read.
I once heard that structure eventually turns into shackles? so I guess I won’t stand on ceremony, what I guess you & I can take from that is that it often defies logic that sometimes our victories can defeat us, derail us and then make us all complacent and complacency is the silent shadow that stalks us in the night sneakily sucking the life right out of us because we are actually just existing in ease and its that ease in fact that is actually a more disastrously potent threat to our progress than our adversity.
So I ask you have you ever had that daunting feeling that you where going nowhere? Ever let ‘tomorrow’ become the front running word in your vocabulary while your soul contradicts that exact word screaming for you to answer your destiny? Tomorrow is such a shitty word man like literally the worst. You’ll often here yourself say ‘I’ll do it tomorrow?’ Listen?! Cut that mentality out because it’s way too dangerous and harmful to us all because essentially all tomorrow is to us is the essence of hope leaving you always hoping that one day it might happen while ironically stopping your momentum, stopping you from ever starting. Distancing you from your dreams, taking the air your breath right now because you never live or appreciate the moment right in front of your face while you delude yourself by always waiting all alone in comfort wishing you had the courage today.
