The After Fact
Have you ever planned something stupid but fun and it turned out to be out of your control? You thought everything will go the way you had planned it but it didn't... it just didn't! So you embarrassed yourself and for that very moment, you wanted to be invisible, just a part of the street, wishing no one was there or it was you who weren't there. So you tried to sleep it over. When you woke up, your head aches, you know exactly what had happened, your mind is rewinding your humiliation but you don't feel it anymore, you are just laughing now, laughing about that stupid thing you did and so you tell to yourself - “Yeah! I had vomit that green puke in the middle of the street, it stinks, its silly, but that was fearless!”
I guess that is the message that I'm trying to tell here – that is to live life fearlessly. Make it or break it, it doesn't matter. They say a lot of people already died because of the word - “I THOUGHT” but I believe that it is better to whisper that word “ I thought” with you last breath rather than keep on breathing but keep on asking - “What if?”. I don't believe that we should grab chances when it comes because chances never comes. I believe that we should make our own chances, we build our own chances, and once we had built the chance, that 's the time we grab it. But never build a chance if you do not intend to grab because it is just a waste of time. It is like building a house but you refuse to live in it. So, if you want a house, build it and live in it. If you want something, build a chance to have it and once you had built the chance, grab it – FEARLESSLY!
Humiliation could only beat the weak heart, but a fearless heart knows that humiliation is just for a moment and soon after, you will find yourself laughing at it.
Reputation is the difference between “before the fact” and the “after fact”.
Tell the truth now before the fact can no longer lurk itself, at least you proved to everyone that you've got the guts to tell the truth with your own tongue. The after fact could only ruin a reputation because whatever your reason for not telling the truth too soon, they will not listen anyway. Reputation is something you have to build, but who cares anyway? Why do you have to live your life based on other people's opinion – right?
Contradicting?... yes, but it will leave your mind asking.
Fearlessly live your life the way you wanted it without hurting anybody. And whatever life throws at you, rude or nice... just believe in your faith. It might not save you but surely it will comfort you.
Life loves the person who dares live it.
“I don't know why, but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress – FEARLESS!”... YOU INSPIRE ME.
