why didn’t you do this sooner?

remember when you knew for sure you put your keys on the counter, but you found them on the bedroom dresser instead + it was you who put them there?

remember when you knew for sure that plan would fail, only for that plan to flourish when you finally did it?

remember when you knew for sure you had it “in the bag” only to find out that you did not, in fact, have it in the bag + there was more work required on your part?

fam — there are no certainties when it comes to what you think you know in life.

life changes, perspectives shift, + minds open within seconds of learning new information.

there was once a time when you knew for sure that no one would be interested in your ideas so you shelved them + forgot about them.

today can be the day you reignite your interests, act on your ideas, + have to ask yourself, “why didn’t i do this sooner?” because of how dope the idea is!

you think you know how life works,

you think you can read people’s minds,

you think you know what others like + dislike which enables you to curate a life that pleases them or meets their approval —

but you don’t know shit when it comes to how life really works, fam.

today, take intentional action even when you are uncertain of the outcome.

take a chance, put yourself out there, + be okay with showing up “wrong” or “right”.

life doesn’t care about whether or not you’re perfect, it cares that you are living it to its fullest potential.

when you know how it all works out, what’s the use of pursuing it in the first place?

how in the world are you learning anything new when you aren’t putting yourself in a position to learn, to make mistakes, + to course correct in real time?

when does the growth take place?

these are the questions that need answers today.

be you, be dope!
