Something great

You stand on the edge of an abyss. Behind you a wasteland, a world of meaningless excess. You despise the waste and the numb sustenance it provides, and yet it’s your home. It’s your comfort. It’s you.

The abyss ahead is your unknown. Dreams. Ideals. Inspirations. A new life. It’s who you want to be. And you’re just standing looking at it, wishing to be there. You’re not.

You’re behind a desk in a job that sucks the life out of you. You squander your money on crap you don’t need. You’re cornered in debt. You’ve stopped reading. You’ve stopped thinking. You’ve stopped making. You’ve stopped dreaming. Are you still you?

Why don’t you do it? Do something great. Change who you are.

Why not?
