Yerrrr!
I come bearing great news and great truth today. Ready?
It’s all up to you. It’s all on you.
Meaning: you can have whatever you want in this world if you go for it, if you sweat for it, if you’re honorable bout it, if you get it and treat it well.
I should note that when I say things like this, I’m not talking about outward love. Why? Because there’s a whole person on the other side to consider. And if it’s not meant, it won’t be. You can want someone till you’re blue in the face & they may not feel the same way and that’s okay.
This thought popped into my head from the random song I’ve been singing all day. “H.A.T.E. U.” By: Mariah Carey. I sing this song with so much feeling and it takes me back to being on the phone with KB singing this shit heartbroken and in a valley. It’s kinda funny now because I think about what I thought my lowest valleys and highest peaks were and nah.
I’ve experienced worse heartbreak & that’s just real shit. But I knew how to maneuver through and if I didn’t then I pushed through and came back stronger and wiser.
I’ve lapped myself and reached peaks I couldn’t have imagined. And I’m giving that credit to the fact that I didn’t give up. Regardless of whatever: pain, strain, crying, laughing, in wins & losses, etc. I showed up every day.
So when I tell you that:
- It’s all up to you.
- It’s all on you.
May that motivate you and even if it scares you a little bit, show up and go after what you want anyway.
