Do All The Things You Have Been Dreaming Of.

Get a life, get a reason for being, get a place to be it and a way to do it. Get a way to be it and a place to do it. Get a sensible attitude and a reasoned way of living, get a reasonable attitude and a sensible way of living.

Get the point.

Get something. Anything.

Take your finger out of your belly button and stop waiting for life to come to you. It will not happen without you, you are it, this is it. Did you know that some people subscribe to the view that this life is the actual Heaven that people are eternally searching for?

Stop wanting to be wanted and start wanting. Stop needing to be needed and start needing. Stop caring about what others think and instead think of the others that care about you.

Stop reading about other people. Stop reading about them and if you can't do anything else, for fucks sake, write your own fucking story instead.

Get off your arse and back in the fast line, get fast, and out of the slow lane. Get into the story and stop observing, or observe and write the story yourself.

Get the point, get the goddamn, fucking point.

Stop the indecision and make a decision.

Gather the happiness in armfuls, like harvested corn and then throw it up in the air and watch it, feel it as it showers down all around you, covers you with the dust of grain and kernels. Note the beginning of everything.

Stop deliberately making the happiness into badness, sadness.

Stop going to to bed. Stop going to bed and dreaming of the things you should be doing. Stop living life virtually and instead, instead, actually go and actually do all of the things you have been dreaming of.

Or even go to bed and be awake and alive and inspired and challenged and live. Because at least that would be something.

Find your master skill. Skillfully master something.

Stop closing your eyes.

The colour red may not be red. Have you thought about that?

Open your eyes, pick yourself up, dust down your skirts, pull out your secret weapon, call upon your master skill, rely on no-one, look inward, gaze outward, take in the scenery, observe the landscape, compose yourself, take a deep, deep breath and then...

GET. ON. WITH. IT.

Stop reading, stop writing and stop thinking about it. Really stop.

***

Now start doing.

On your marks....
Get set...
GO.
