The most fulfilling thing

Not fitting in is the bravest thing.

Sounds easy, we all think we are not part of the crowd.

But truly, when we deep down want to say something, to shout out and be different, how often do we agree to not offend, not cause a scene, to avoid the awkwardness, to quell the fear?

Being the true you is the hardest thing, yet it is the biggest joy, the greatest peace, the most fulfilling thing we can do as a human being, to always just be ourselves.

A few nanoseconds

So the earth is 4.5 something billion years old, well so we are told, none of us actually know that, but anyway, humans appeared 200,000 years ago, again so we are told. So if you condensed the time that earth has existed into one day, then we’d appear at 23.59 and 57 seconds, so just 3 seconds of that day have we been here! Mind you, we’ve certainly not hung about, we’ve done a lot in those 3 seconds, sadly most of it not so good, to be honest.

Taking it a step further, if each of us lived to say 100 years old, we’d only represent about 100,000 nanoseconds, and if you think that 100,000 nanoseconds sound like a lot, there are a billion in just one second.

The point is we’re not here very long. Enjoy the moment, don’t think, do stuff that matters, enjoy, love, laugh, smile, dance, sing, paint…and just be, be the real you. Oh and don’t give a shit, you haven’t got time to be bothered, angry, frustrated, envious, jealous, hateful and so on.

A few nanoseconds will be gone in less than a blink of an eye.
