You’re Awesome! Keep Going! A Manifesto to the World!
WISE WORDS A wise 9 ½ year old told me something:
“Awesome, keep going!”
I AM HERE TO TELL YOU:
“You’re Awesome! Keep Going”
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
That something that you want to try…
Do it!
NOW?
Yes! Tomorrow is too late! Next week is worse!
I AM TOO BUSY!
Really!? Then when why are reading this?
I AM TOO OLD
No one is too old. There is always someone older… if you are the oldest…good for you!
IT’S SILLY TO PURSUE DREAMS
I disagree! It’s silly not to!
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Yes! You’re Awesome! Keep Going!
WHAT HAPPENS IF I STOP?
No one will know. You’ll continue to think about what you missed. The dreams end there.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I KEEP GOING?
You create things that express your true self. You notice that others want to know more about your true self. You become what you never knew was possible.
HOW DO I KEEP GOING?
Don’t stop. Tell yourself that you are on an important mission. Don’t stop.
WHAT DO I NEED?
Nothing. You have always had it. Its been waiting all along.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
As long as it needs to. It will let you know… when you’re done.
WHY CAN’T I TAKE A BREAK?
Breaks are permanent vacations. Stop moving and you will forget your place.
DO OTHERS NEED TO KNOW?
Others have always known. They have been telling you since you were little. There will be no surprises.
WHAT IF I FAIL?
You might… But!… You’re Awesome! Keep Going?
BUT, SERIOUSLY WHAT IF I FAIL?
Fail often…you might change the world.
WILL IT CHANGE MY LIFE?
Yes! Your old life was not yours.
WHAT WAS MY LIFE BEFORE?
Practice. You were trying out everything…and using someone else’s plans.
REALLY?
Yes really! That’s why it was never a perfect fit.
OH? I THOUGH IT WAS NORMAL TO FEEL MISMATCH
Normal is confused with similarity. Similarity is refusing to keep going.
SO IT WILL BE EASIER?
No! At first you will feel frustrated… It will be messy!
HOW COME?
Old habits need to go… Habits do not like to go.
BUT EVENTUALLY?
Eventually you will feel better than you have ever felt before.
EASY…PEASY?
At times…but hard work will not feel like hard work, it feel like an extension of yourself.
SOMETHING THAT WAS ALWAYS THERE?
Always there. Waiting. Like the beat of your heart.
SO I SHOULD KEEP GOING?
Yes! Because you can’t stop now.
I AM AWESOME!
Of course. But only when you keep going!
OKAY…
That sounds like a commitment.
IT IS!
Then why are we still talking… Shouldn’t you be doing something…?
Until Next Time,
