I find it ironic, beloveds.
Here I am getting things lined up so I can learn how to then post motivational videos and all kinds of well known folks are leaving YouTube in droves.
Over and over I keep hearing folk talk about being burnt out from ‘work’. Alas, their ‘dream job’ of creating content is now just a lot of work.
Who knew?
I was raised to work. And, to work hard and long. This last decade or so have heralded the value of making a living by NOT having to work hard, or not at all.
It seems folks just want to frolic on beaches whilst ‘influencing’ others to want to do the same. Everyone is told how idyllic the world can be IF you are:
Young enough.
Pretty enough.
Wealthy enough.
If you know the ‘right’ people.
If you have the ‘right’ job.
If you have the ‘right’ address.
If you are the ‘right’ skin color.
If you are/have the ‘right’ legacy.
The rest of us can, apparently, turn left, keep working hard and stay kicked to the curb.
Yikes.
Be encouraged, beloveds.
It’s up to YOU to accept whatever label folk will try and slap on you.
I don’t believe all young folk are lazy and entitled.
I don’t believe all older folk are hard working and level-headed.
I think we are all a combination of these things.
We are ALL lazy, at times.
We are ALL entitled feeling, at times.
we are ALL hard working, at times.
We are ALL level-headed, at times.
And, at ALL times, we are…human.
We are entitled to be lazy, beloveds. Yet, we must bear the cost of being lazy. Life is short. I choose to keep my act right acting right.
I choose to try even when I am tired and weary.
I choose to believe everything will be okay.
I choose to love.
I choose to laugh.
I choose to make the best of things.
I choose to encourage as many folks as I can wrap my arms and my heart around.
Be encouraged.
Keep on choosing you.
Keep on trying.
Take care.
