My mind never shuts down. Even in sleep, I get answers. Even while dreaming, I see how the future is going to go. There are scribbled notes by my bed of ideas I had while asleep. There are texts to myself for ideas I don't want to forget. They don't all receive follow through. Some days I wonder, what exactly was I thinking? But, the point is that the ideas are there. The planning, the ambition, the focus, the expectation that success is not on the horizon; there is a daily barometer to measure if at the end of the day I succeeded in some way.
I do.
I can be thoughtful and quiet which can be interpreted as standoffish or stuck-up. I am assessing the situation. I am trying to figure out the ending to determine if it's worth the beginning. That's just how my mind works. I can be loud and sarcastic which can be interpreted as mean and obnoxious. Some days both interpretations are true.
I am inspired daily by those who embrace the opportunities presented to them. The ones who keep their complaints to a minimum, the ones who know what it's like to work, but more, the ones who know to put it all down and LIVE life.
The success that varies in definition from person to person. The success that determines what a person decided to value in their life. Is it money? Is it power? Is it love? Or, is it the constant anticipation for a story? A story that is filled with a combination of all the above, a story that makes the moment feel like a gift and those five steps ahead feel like one continuous, beautiful surprise.
Ready for some surprises? Let's take a moment...
F.S.A.
