Day 102 "Dust And Dreams"

 There is no escaping all the things that you have to get done.

You can try to put them off for as long as you can, but in the end you have to face these things and decide how you are going to handle them.

No one said anything about anything ever being easy, so you can leave that expectation at the door right now.

No amount of clever sayings or advice will ever fill your resolve enough to ever make you feel prepared for the ending of anything.

No one will ever have all of your answers.

There should be no one with the strength to stop you from succeeded in your ambitions, no matter the weight of the fears they have placed upon your shoulders.

You can put your dreams on a shelf and let them gather dust, but they will always be that dirty little secret in the corner, and you will always feel the pull of their demands.

One day you will have to choose whether or not to take those dreams off the dusty shelf you once placed them on.

One day you will have to pull that box down and open it back up, and dig deep inside for all those dreams you thought you might never get around to, but always hoped that you would.

The longer you wait to listen to the will of your heart and choose to keep who you are locked up in a dust covered box on an empty shelf in the corner, the more power you give to Time The Thief.

Regrets are a heavy thing. They tie themselves to your ankles and weigh you down more and more, until you can no longer tread the water and keep your head above the waterline.

Regrets have only the ambition to drown.

Make no mistake, that as long as you draw breathe you will have to eventually choose what you are going to do with everything that demands an answer, and everything that demands your actions.

At some point you must ready yourself for the day.

You can choose to stay in bed a minute longer, but there is no reward for the act of procrastination, unless you place value on the weight that regret brings?

At some point you must choose to place those shoes upon your feet and meet life halfway.

At some point you will have to choose to move into action, if only to stay one step ahead of heavy regret.

I think it might be time to take those dreams down off the shelf and dust them off.

Don’t you?
