Everyone at some point or another wants to impress someone, even if that “someone” happens to be YOU. This need to impress starts from birth. Even before we have taken our first step our parents and family are rooting us on to crawl and eventually stand up. We don’t really know what they are getting so excited about but we do feel their excitement. Like I said we are still infants, so we really don’t have a fu***ng clue about life and what it expects of us. However, what we do know is that we are here we are here, living, breathing, sleeping, and sh****ng.
We ultimately want to impress because it is gratifying, we get that pat on the head and told, “good job!” But, what if we do not impress? What if we are unable to impress someone, or meet our potential, or give it our all? Is this something that comes from within or is this something that is out of our control? These are hard questions to ask ourselves. It really comes down to what is important to you. Excuses will be made, let downs take place, complaining, bitching, and giving up are all by products of your journey to ultimately do what you have been placed here to do.
Now, I have no fu***ng idea what it is YOU are here to do, but what I do know is that it is important to find a hobby, find what you enjoy, find what you hate, find out what makes you smile, as well as makes you angry. Find out your willingness to take on responsibility in specific tasks, as well as your unwillingness. It is ok to let people down. You will continue to let people down. But the one person you should never let down is yourself.
Be positive, be grateful, be productive for yourself. Don’t impress others, you’ll only let yourself down in the end. Focus on impressing yourself and see if you can make yourself smile even on a wack day.
Enjoy the week ya’ll!
