everything is just okay

How often do we just exist?

Are we zoned out and numbed most of the time? Do we let fear hold us back? How often are we wanting and wishing for something more?

I think it's easy to be living in the "everything is just okay" camp. It's not great, it's not amazing but it's better than being stuck in the negativity 24-7. We end up complacent. We have little motivation to change, but yet nothing we're doing excites us. We think maybe next year, maybe when we get a raise, maybe when we have xyz, maybe then, it'll be better.

Our job is just okay. Our friendships are just okay. Our day to day is just okay. Our life is just okay.

But what if there was more? What if we're MEANT for more?

I lived in the "everything is just okay" camp for years. I know it's scary to believe that something better is out there. But I don't think we deserve to just exist.

I know we're here to create amazing lives. We're here to be lights for other people. We're here to be excited and free and energized by the work we do. We're here to do scary shit and live to tell the tale. We're here to face our fears and do amazing things. We're here to see the world and impact it in powerful ways. I know we're here to LIVE.

And maybe that's a hard thing to do. To move from just existing to living full out, but I know it's the work we're meant to do.

So today, I vow to do one thing that scares me, to remind myself that I'm alive, that everything can be more than just okay. Who's with me?
