Screaming From the Sideline of Your Being

June 8, 2006

Don’t mistake me for being cynical or pessimistic, but realistically speaking, there is only one person who you can count on 24/7 for your entire life… and that’s yourself.

Of course we all have our loved ones ready to give a helping hand whenever possible, but sometimes there are just moments in life where it’s all you. There are times when you have to be hard on yourself because nobody else would: “This is what you gotta do! This is your best play, and you have to play it right! Gut up or get down!” There are times when you have to pick yourself up because that’s what you need at that certain moment: “Fall down seven times, get up eight! Get up man!” There are times when you have to cheer yourself on and listen to that voice inside your head going “Let’s go! You can DO IT!”

As much as everyone is interconnected, everyone has their own lives to live and you cannot go depending on someone else all the time. Sometimes, in the game of life, you just have to be you have to be your coach, your teammate and your cheerleader all in one - all screaming from the sideline of your being.
