Straight. No Chaser.
Greetings Ladies and Gents,
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I pray that you're doing well and you're currently in the middle of great company, weather, and food of course. With a variety of festivities taking place right now, I promise not to keep you too long. But I did want to drop by to provide a gentle reminder as we get back into our groove of cookout season and being more social as a whole. So with that, let's get right to it.
From what I've learned and gathered in my lifetime, it seems like it's human nature for us to be chasing after things and people that we have no good reason to be dealing with. Whether it's the challenge, natural curiosity, or simply feeling rebellious, there just always seems to be an invisible force drawing us into unnecessary places. Today, at our respective big ages, I want us to officially retire from that kind of backwards behavior.
I know what you may be thinking. How do I know if something or someone isn't for me if I don't at least pursue it for a little bit? Well, for starters we can begin by no longer ignoring those early red flags when they so kindly greet us at the beginning of a situation. We've all been guilty of overlooking things that we know good and well are dealbreakers when it comes to our standards, myself included. But there's a difference between looking past someone's flaws and ignoring a person's legit issues. Why are you settling for things that you know good and well are going to cause you problems in the long run? Whether it's because you're lonely, feel like it's your time to settle down, or tired of being the single friend in your group chat, it's not worth it.
The less time you spend on environments and people that truly serve you zero purpose, the more time you allow yourself to have to see the ones that stand out in a positive way. You're creating roadblocks in your own path to greatness by entertaining energies that are taking you in the opposite direction of your goals and dreams. Stop chasing love, like, and interest. Start choosing it.
In the end, you choose the people, places, and things that you're going to invest your time and energy into. You have that power, and it's about that time to stop handing it off to someone else. So as you make your moves this holiday weekend and mingle with a plethora of people, please don't forget to consider yourself...because that's whose opinion should matter in the end.
