“The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson
I was bored, but then I did 150 pushups…maybe I should do this every time I am “bored.”
Drop the fucking hammer on it
I gotta tell you,
Some days it isn’t so easy. I mean, sure; no one said it would be.
But every day I find myself staring out the window craving motion. All I want is to be anything but still. And the pull this has on my life is, at times, overwhelming.
You see, once you’ve stepped outside it’s hard to be okay with being in. It’s like a cat who has just been out for the first time; he will crave the outside world and its wonders for the rest of his life.
I will never wish that I hadn’t stepped out.
Every day I schedule myself with so much work that it gives me very little time to think; and I don’t know that I would be where I’m at if it wasn’t that way. I distract myself from these thoughts because I know they don’t mesh with how society says I should be.
Because once you’ve discovered the inner nomad, you can never put it to sleep.
And all of the sudden fitting in with those around you becomes a monumental task.
Because they’ve never been outside.
