Can you live with it?

How often in one day do you watch someone else not living up to their own potential. Or are you lucky enough to see everyone just simply maximizing. Is your life like a fucking Nike ad. Congratulations . . .mine's not. I'm pretty sure I'm most definitely not living up to MY potential. But, starting today, I'm going to try very hard. Try to look away as I blunder, stumble and fall, picking myself back up again and slamming through the back door of the parallel life that I've obviously been missing out on. Meanwhile, don't pass judgement on me as I look backwards, waving goodbye to those who have, with the slightest gestures, assisted in keeping me right where I've been. Now, take a deep breath, exhale, step outside of IT and take a good hard look. Are you happy? Could you be doing something more and better that would not only make you more complete and satisfied but could also, in some extremely insignificant way, just niggle a bit of an 1/8th of an inch, the path of destruction that our world is going. What if everyone made themselves just a bit more complete, a bit happier, a bit more driven, what if that just changed the course of everything. Just step back and think about it, then just get up and shoot one big long middle finger at everyone who's fucking with you and feeding you the bullshit that makes you think you can't have more. I think I might.
