lyrics

What assumptions have you made about your path? And how far down the road to they extend?

I’m sure there’s something you’re planning to accomplish today.

And what’s your plan for the week?

There’s probably a project in mind that needs to get finished this month. How many days left do you have?

Is there something you’ve been wanting to do for months, that you’ve avoided until now? Maybe it’s overly ambitious, you can’t afford it, or haven’t been able to make the time.

Is your aversion conscious? Did you make the choice to stop yourself, or to never begin.

Perhaps it was a question of doubt and expectations. If so, it’s time to start rebelling. And I don’t mean retaliation against the crowd. Now is the time to start resisting your self-expectations.

Being independent doesn’t mean lack of discipline or cohesion, it means acting with respect for the autonomy of others. Let the others be autonomous, and let yourself step away from reflection.

Create a space between yourself, and the reception of your efforts: a judgement free zone. It’s time to stop trying to win— to stop attempts at toping your previous success.

Admit the possibility, that perhaps your greatest accomplishments could be behind you.

Say it: My greatest achievement could be behind me.

That’s good. Does it feel healthy?

Now it’s time to pull ourselves out of the doom-loop and revisit failure with new eyes.
