i will use them because they work –there will be original thought too, but if you don’t like clichés, start liking them or move on –they help create foundations to thought and I’m using them!
the rat race
oh it is a rat race –we get in our cars every day and we drive an hour to work –we go through tunnels, we pay tolls, we listen to the same radio shows, we want to bash our hands through the steering wheel when traffic bogs down–we scream f this and f that at the traffic and the cars–we flick people off –we get home after dark and leave in the morning when it is dark -we warm up our cars for 20 minutes before we get in –scrambling to the car to turn it on, then scrambling back to our cave–though the solace is in the drive –then we wake up and arrive at work–same people, same work, SOSDD –we can’t get off this treadmill –got to keep the money coming in…oh what a rat race–it is all we know
in the night
we wake up and have thoughts of doubt –the night time is the bottom of the day, the bottom of our confidence –it keeps us up an hour here, an hour there –we worry about things and fret about life –what a pain in the ass –close your eyes and wake up –confidence is restored –what were you thinking with all that doubt –unfortunately it never goes away–it is part of the cycle
get out there
and make it happen –stop sitting around and talking about what you are going to do –this is what everyone does –they talk, talk, talk –STOP! Put your damn foot out there and run down the street and pick up the phone and do it. I know –cliche, cliche, cliche –but these damn things are right. Make it happen, you only live once. Why are you living if you are not doing what you think about doing, but you never do. Go for a run now and while you are running, think about what you are going to do today, this week, this year –and then do it.
