Weekly Thermals: Life Lessons
There comes a time in all of our lives where it’s time to put up or shut up. When we stand in the middle of the room looking for the adult in the room and we realize that, this time, it’s going to have to be us. When we’ve run ourselves through the same gauntlet a hundred times, we don’t even feel the pain anymore we just do it out of habit. We may even stop as we allow ourselves to drown long enough to notice…I don’t even know why I’m doing this. And then the moment hits. That just utter exhaustion and boredom. Where your escapism is too thinly veiled to believe anymore. Where you’ve done enough work on yourself to know that you’re just playing yourself. And you think it’s time to change your life. Suddenly becomes time to step into the role. The role of you.
Reluctantly you decide to release the wounded teenagers clothing you’ve been wearing for years, the one that allows you to react and not respond, the one that makes everything everyone else’s fault, where you’re the victim of a heartless universe. Even as you repeat every excuse you’ve ever clung to, the moment comes when you realise that it’s just not fucking true. You’re the boss. You’re the master. Your life is yours. Your choices are yours.
Those shitty boyfriends you keep picking are you running away from what you want. That finish line that you never allow yourself to cross is just your horrible fear of actually getting what you want.
Adulting is an ugly business. It’s ugly because the process of getting there looks like making a sausage. It’s brutal, it’s carnal, and it rips out everything you’ve had inside into little pieces so that it can transform it into something else.
Welcome to the current cultural zeitgeist. With every deflection of thought, of energy, of power, we continue to perpetuate a myth that we are cogs in the wheel. We are not. We are the conductor.
If you feel pushed, pulled, drowned, fogged, helpless, or hopeless understand that what you are looking for to save you is already in you. Take the power, the energy, the love you are pouring towards the outside world and pour it into yourself. You must have your oxygen mask on before you can help others.
The time has come to step into your power. Take the reigns of your life. Take the reigns of your journey. You may be aware that you have tremendous potential. But just because you have a Ferrari in the garage doesn’t make you a Formula 1 Winner.
There is much to be discovered, explored and achieved. Energy to be applied, trials and errors as we walk towards the incarnation of our destiny. Go fall down seven and get back up eight. The life you want is waiting for you to claim it. Right now. I mean….Right. Now.
