Act now without hesitation.
A majority of that is from doubt,
Which comes from fear.
Become a better swimmer.
Plunge into the unrevealed and make it show itself.
You are one hour closer to leaving.
Every 60 minutes,
Each breath closer to the last.
Waiting for things to happen.
Is trading in one unknown for the other.
Better to fashion the unshaped with your hands.
Your directives,
Instead of giving it to fate to whip up for you.
What you don't get from the universe.
Counteract with fierce autonomy.
There is so much you can do right now.
This moment,
Every masterpiece begins with a single brush stroke.
A first word written,
An initial note played.
You may die young of a broken heart in a sudden calamity.
Alone,
Struggling,
Bankrupt and bruised.
But you will not die giving up.
You will put your all into it because you know this is for real.
This is your one shot at being you.
Or roll the dice on karma.
With conviction,
You are the die.
You know the number written all over you.
What can I do?
You can break walls,
Lead people,
Show courage and support.
Make discoveries that force you to stop being the same person every single day.
Become change.
Shed the chrysalis daily.
Update and upgrade.
I am 80.
I am 16.
You can master this existence.
This is fact.
You write the rest.
No more stale doctrines,
Antiquated scrolls,
Papyrus remnants in need of others to decode.
You have the answers sitting in your soul.
Make that call.
Take that run.
Start that course.
You have the goods and get ready to feel pain and joy.
No delusion here.
Otherwise,
Choose to wither like a burnt piece of crackled parchment paper.
You have life force,
Blood,
Receptors,
Fire,
Nerves.
Use them.
Your time is now.
Not when it comes or if and when you are validated.
This moment.
You fight inertia with action.
Basic and built in.
Pen to paper.
Be reflexive,
Physical.
Action to gain satisfaction.
What can I do?
Everything.
No one else can,
Nor ever will.
Not in the exact way you will do it.
So begin and lean hard into the new.
