Some Thursday Inspiration

“Time is a liar. Stop letting the calendar tell you what’s possible. It doesn’t know who you are. It has no clue what’s still alive for you.

Culture measures age in years. It tells us to grow older and grow up. To be reasonable.

To trade aliveness for safety. But maturity is not measured by time.

It’s measured in the willingness to feel deeply and live fully.

Be surprised by life. Stop being so damned reasonable. Begin before you’re clear. Let people and places that bring you joy interrupt your schedule. Create something that doesn’t have a use and can’t be monetized. Resist reducing life to the passing of years. Be caught off guard.

Move toward what has energy, even if it doesn’t make sense yet. Roll down the windows on a rainy day. Fall in love with ordinary things. Dream again. Even if it’s ill advised. Maybe especially then. You’re allowed to live a life that doesn’t make sense.

Follow what lives in you.

That’s your real timeline.

LIVE LIKE IT’S STILL HAPPENING. STOP ACTING LIKE IT’S OVER.” Rainier Wylde
