“Make
a fucking commitment!”
That’s
what I find myself shouting from my car at people trying to merge onto the
freeway or change lanes.
You
want to get onto the freeway? Well then, speed up. You think that the freeway
is just going to stop while you’re trying to get on? Speed up! Get with the flow of what’s
happening. Stop being timid. You want to change lanes (or get a job or get
the girl/boy or lose weight or be a better person) then fucking act like it, put
your back into it. Is it scary? Sure, but scary isn’t impossible.
Stop
hesitating.
Stop
equivocating.
Stop
bullshitting.
Stop
making excuses.
Life
isn’t going to do anything but keep going.
It does not stop. Not even after
someone dies and you expect it to.
If you want something, you have to just go
for it. I’m not slowing down so you can get onto the freeway. The speed limit is 65. You’re trying to get
on at a steady 40 mph. Do you honestly think that’s a good idea?
Really? Well, it isn’t.
No one is going to freeze time just so you can
slip in. It’s your attitude and actions that makes things happen. Shrugging
your shoulders does nothing. Thinking
something’s owed to you does nothing. Wishing it were different does nothing.
Make.
A. Fucking. Commitment.
