I am all about last minute. The last minute is the one that counts. It's the one you remember first.
The last minute gets a bad rap, by most accounts, as if it were the worst moment to do anything. In actuality, it's the worst moment to do nothing. The easiest to freeze at, to throw away, as if it didn't count. The buzzer is about to sound, and your 3 point shot isn't even in the air. Because you thought it wouldn't matter anyway.
Don't fool your lazy ass. It's the best moment to do damn well anything. Because which something it is doesn't matter, at least it's another option thrown into the ring; and yet doing nothing invariably does matter. At least, it does if you hate the status quo. Or rejection. Or being a coward. I think that about covers everyone.
So I wrote this last minute. It's bad, really bad. But it's another shot at punching those keys.
And I'll punch and paint, punch and paint until I get it right.
So, how was my exit?
Thats interesting, I feel the exact same way. Before I got into developing myself spiritually, time existed. The last moment, the only moment is the best time to do anything, because I feel like the future doesn't exist and the past doesn't exist. A lot of times still struggle to put my thoughts into action because I'm lazy as you said or I'm afraid of something, like rejection, failure or anything negative that could come by.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for stopping by. I'm glad this touched on a truth to you, it sounds like you're heading in a good direction.
ReplyDeleteIt's a common misconception that time extends anywhere past the tip of your nose, or that it defines things in terms of chronology. A lot of events are only "understood" years after they actually happen... There is no such thing as the "last minute", y'know? Only "a moment".
Yeah, time doesn't exist man. haha. If you don't mind me asking, are you of some faith? I feel like a lot of what you say is fairly similar to Buddhism.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its good to know that someone else thinks similarly :)
ReplyDeleteIt's informed by Buddhist teachings, but modern Buddhism, I feel, is too convoluted with religious or results-oriented expectations. Maybe I don't know enough yet.
ReplyDeleteI haven't found my "faith" yet, but I see the road ahead, and keep walking. Y'know?
