It makes sense to add new goals to increase our experience by doing more things.
It makes sense- we all like our comfort, even if we claim to not.
But next year, I think you owe it to yourself to do more.
Inga Seliverstova
I dont necessarily mean to keep yourself so busy that you exhaust yourself.
Im not saying to add 35 additional tasks to prove to yourself that it’s possible for you to.
Perhaps youre staying in a relationship because its comfortable and familiar- even though you arent thrilled there anymore.
For a brief moment, you feel alive in ways you never have before.
There is a voice in your mind that is clamoring for your attention- begging you to take the risk.
Just as quickly as it appears, you snuff it out with doubts and concerns.
You swear its just you being impulsive or unreasonable.
But you know whats unreasonable?
Playing a part in your life just because its simple and doesnt ask much of you.
You arent helping anyone else, either.
A job doesnt want someone who is only half invested, secretly pining for something else.
To embrace the parts of you that you know have always existed, but you were scared to release.
To practice and learn new ways of going about your existence.
Taking on new challenges that genuinely forces you to open up.
So next year, c’mon let go of all the things that are holding you back.
Dont let another year pass as the persona that you think will make everyone else happy.
The idea that you swear you’ve got the option to learn to love.
Become who you truly want to be.
Understand that not everything in your life will lead you there- nor will it want to.
But you should take a chance on yourself, and all that you know you truly are inside.
The world can benefit from someone being their authentic self.
And you might benefit from letting the world see who that person is.
