NO ONE & NO THING

“NO ONE AND NO THING”
That is the mantra of the driven, meaning that they refuse to allow anything outside themselves to steal or drain their momentum or peace.
Easier said than done, I know, but doesn’t make it any less true.
The vast majority of the thoughts running through your mind are utter BS; your brain literally narrating your life to you through the “best” interpretations it can come up with in any given moment for all of the stimuli flying at it with lightning speed.
So it talks to you in your own voice, and sometimes that of others, based on what it has stored about your reactions to your experiences in the past. Sometimes it gets it right, but frequently it won’t and unfortunately, the majority of people won’t notice until it has affected their behavior in unhelpful ways.
There you are, trying to go about your day in peace and harmony while your brain’s incessant stream of consciousness bombards you with irritations, indignities, hurtful memories and fearful worries, and perhaps even 1990’s Brittney Spears lyrics you didn’t even ask for. WTF?!
Most people, in turn, spit out this incessant stream on anyone who will listen… Twitter, their momma, their bestie, their partner, their therapist… but if that doesn’t make them feel better, they continue to ruminate on it like a cow on cud.
Fucking stop already. Take a breather. Ask yourself, does this ACTUALLY matter?
If so, gather yourself and fucking do something about it!
If not, quit regurgitating the vomit. It sucked the first time you swallowed it. Don’t do it again.
If the people around you are hell bent on sucking at life, let them. Do your best to support them if you want to or are able to, but don’t kid yourself; unless THEY want to do better for themselves, there’s not much you can do anyway.
This is YOUR life to live. No one else gets to dictate whether or not you’re going to enjoy it or reach your potential.
NO ONE AND NO THING.
Seriously. Post that shit everywhere. Tag me. #NoOneNoThing
