it's a choice

Woman that hustles endlessly,

You need to know -- that way in which you live is a choice. The hustling to please. The stack of work that never ends. The failure to fully breathe. The scarfing down a sandwich forcefully. Your haste in life. It's a choice.

Some days it will seem far from one. Many times it will look as though there is no other route. But, you need to know, you do have a choice.

Entertain that possibility just for a moment. It may change your life.

The thing about the choice is -- it requires courage. Courage first to recognize it there. Courage second to act counter to what is status quo.

Others will look at you as if you're crazy. They aren't too far off. You sort of are. You're stepping into a reality they can't even imagine. In fact, it won't exist unless you choose to go there.

Go ahead, keep moving in that direction... even when they think you're crazy. There is where real change happens. For you. And for them.

Muster courage, fellow traveler, and lean into this thing called choice.
