maturing is realizing that your energy and attention are the currency. choose what is in your life. choose what you want to believe, focus on, create, and embody. choose. & not just on the surface.. but also as a person.. choose what you stand for, & ask yourself constantly if you are fully choosing ‘this’ or being passive..

there’s a quote that says choose a path or providence will bestow one on you. yes yes and yes. if you are passive, if you do not acknowledge your own preference. your own choice, what you really actually want, providence will bestow one on you. and you will (most likely) find yourself resistant or unhappy… because what it gave you you never chose.

In a life with infinite possibilities and limited time, energy, and attention.. why would you settle for something or allow something subpar to occupy you? why?

we are here alive for a moment in time. it would be an absolute disgrace and disrespect .. to yourself, to God, to whatever you believe your purpose or source is… to occupy that precious resource with things (mindsets, people, places, experiences) you do not actually want, believe in, resonate with. our gift (i think) and the gift we were given being born and created in this life was our consciousness.. our discernment.. our unique capability to think and choose. we have this amazing power to choose and create anything! so don’t expend and waste your energy and attention in places you don’t actually want to take root.

you need to look past momentary surface level pleasures and see what you want deeper… on all levels. on every level of your being.

of course you are entitled to live and experience life how you see fit, I just know for myself… I know this is a gift. my time here is a blessing. my capability and capacity to expand and evolve infinitely is a privilege. and I will not be wasting it on anything less then what is possible!! which is literally anything! I think .. don’t be impatient.. dont be forceful in your pursuit of what you actually want.. across the board. haste makes waste. the best things in life are ones steadily built or slowly uncovered!

I think the ability to continue on .. patiently .. persistently … and not ‘settle’ half way on the road with only a partial version of what you want .. thats the kind of resilience and faith that carries you to your desired end. especially in a world that is addicted to quick fixes and instant dopamine. and I think it’s beautiful because this is mirrored in all the areas of my life.. physically and otherwise. and it’s not to say that quick dopamine is inherently bad.. but if you let it infect your mind body and spirit.. i think it can be disastrous. because everything in life that you actually (probably) want needs to be built well and slowly.
