You are what you do,
Not what you can do.
You are what you do,
Not what you say you will do.
I can have more wisdom and skill and resources than you,
But if you are doing it,
And I'm just talking and thinking about it,
You are living life and I am thinking twice.
People watch others play tennis and say,
I can already see that that's not for me,
And I say,
Nope,
You have no idea.
You can only imagine.
Only when you put the body into the thing can you know anything.
If you have never tried an activity or hobby or been to a place,
You can only think about it.
You do not know about it on a cellular level.
Experience is the only real substance.
You can only ever discover if your passion about something is by trying it.
That's why it's called discovering your passion.
Only when you take the next step can you see beyond the bend.
Only when you open a door can you see the next door,
But from where you are you see only with the mind,
And as we know,
The mind is a construct of whatever you feed it or whatever it was fed by others.
When I hear people say,
There is nothing more for me here,
I have tried everything,
I have nothing more to do here,
Nothing more left to live for,
I say,
You have seen only 5% of life.
You have seen three countries,
You have tried three different types of careers,
Dated maybe one type of person that was repeated in different people.
You have tried one type of diet and maybe 2% of all sports and activities,
Creative expressions and overall ways of being.
The world is so vast and differentiated and abundant that it would and it will take you many lifetimes to see a tiny fraction of everything.
So no,
You have seen almost nothing.
Go out,
Explore life while you are alive.
There is no heaven outside of this realm waiting for you.
Don't wait until you're five minutes to midnight to open your eyes and see,
What have I been doing all this time?
All is here,
All is now,
Only today,
Get out and play.
