You need it:

You need it.

You need people to inspire you.

To push you.

To show you.

To live their best life.

We have no good role models.

We don’t have people in front of us who show us how to be good.

Lots of bad influences.

Bad role models.

Bad people around us.

They shape us.

They dictate us.

They show us.

What it’s like to be normal.

What it’s like to be them.

What it’s like to be bad.

We can’t understand.

We’re too young.

We have no idea as kids.

We don’t know.

Instead, we pretend.

We pretend we know.

We pretend we’re smart.

We pretend we’re intelligent.

We pretend we’re up to speed on what’s going on.

Lies.

We don’t know shit.

We don’t know what’s going to happen.

We don’t know anything.

Yet we pretend.

Accept this fact.

We have no control.

None.

Over the future.

Or the past.

No idea.

What happens in a minute.

What happens in a day.

What happens in a week.

What happens in a year.

We think we do.

We believe we do.

We tell ourselves we do.

And we’re lying.

We don’t know.

Accept that.

Embrace that.

Appreciate that.

Stop.

Please.

Please man.

Please.

Stop.

Appreciate where you are.

Appreciate where you’ve come from.

Appreciate where you’ve been.

Appreciate what you’ve done.

Appreciate what you’ve become.

You got here for a reason.

You got here because.

God.

Subconscious.

Destiny.

Fate.

Who knows.

But you got here.

No matter what.

You got here for a reason.

You got here because you tried.

You got here because you pushed.

You got here because someone somewhere positively affected you.

Look for those people.

You need it.
