Eminem – In Your Head
“Life is suffering.”
~ Jordan B. Petreson
Let’s start from there.
You are here for a brief while.
I’m too.
Thing is ‘You’ dream like I do. You set expectations before even you know it. You lose focus from yourself and drool over someone else’s life’s template.
You fucking sleepwalk like it’s how life’s supposed to be.
And, sure, you run towards your dream life, and that with everything you’ve got in your bones and that too, to the point of your own detriment. Exhausted! Corrupted! All this circus, at an expense of your cool. Your peace of mind. Your priceless present. Your graceful calm!
To add more, you’ll come to the point wherein you’ve bankrupted your whole self over that one wild, wild vision of yours, and all that’d be left of you is nothing but grey hairs, wrinkled skins and a painful vacuum.
[haha…]
I remember a quote from one of my dead pal, Seneca, he writes:
“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”
So, few free advices :-
Stop — every once in a while.
Self Reflect!
Contemplify.
Reboot — every once in a while.
