You do have to be ruthless
Because the ending is ruthless, definite
Impermanence is ruthless
Once you truly understand just how ruthlessly everything will be taken away from you, this opportunity to live and create — you understand you must be ruthless in response
The rules are clear: when the end comes — it’s the end
Therefore you make clear rules yourself: until the end is here — you make the FUCKING MOST out of it
You love the most
You try the most
You’re grateful the most
You love all that is given to you because tomorrow it’s gone
You do your absolute best at all times because tomorrow you can’t do anything any more
And you’re utterly grateful throughout — because you understand the above. Therefore it’s your obvious choice, obvious truth.
…and it is ruthless
Because you were never so ruthless and single-minded
And everyone around you is not nearly as ruthless and single-minded and lustful for life
So you begin by removing them out of your way
And you remove nonsense out of your way
And you create a new, ruthless you
And you live a new, uncompromising life
You’d rather make your own mistakes — than be “right” through someone else’s truth
You’d rather live alone — than languish with someone holding you back
You’d rather do it NOW — than wait for tomorrow
So that you know that you STAYED IN CONTROL, DID YOUR BEST and LIVED AND LOVED to the fullest — when the ending comes
Because when the ending comes — it won’t matter what everyone told you
It won’t matter that you did what others thought was right
It won’t matter that someone approved of you
It will only matter whether you gave it everything, or compromised
And I promise you this “ruthlessness” will often feel WRONG
It’s not like in the movies, where the ruthless character overcomes, and then enjoys the success and approval of the world
It will rather be the opposite — the world should spit on you, despise you
It will rather be the opposite — even you will spit on you! It will feel like you spit on you
It will feel like you spit on you because you will WONDER if you should have have taken the ROAD someone ELSE HAS TAKEN. You will wonder if what they have and what they are is not perhaps what you want
But instead of taking that ATTRACTIVE LOOKING ROAD — you will take YOUR ROAD. And it will feel like you’re spitting on you, like you’re your enemy
But you’re not
Because what others have is FOOLS GOLD
And though you’re not perfect — parroting other cunts doesn’t solve it
You will not parrot other cunts and their own pursuits of fools gold
You will ruthlessly BE YOU and DO WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT and LIVE THE WAY YOU WANT TO LIVE NOW
And it will often LOOK WORSE then what the alternative looks like,
But when the end comes…when the end comes — there will be no regret. No doubt. You will know that you LIVED YOUR LIFE the way it was MEANT FOR YOU TO LIVE.
…now the good news is
Those times your values do align with the world – you will be UNSTOPPABLE
you will be ruthlessly dedicated
Ruthlessly effective
Ruthlessly loyal
Ruthlessly forthright
But when those values don’t align? Then you are the ENEMY
But FUCK THAT
You LAUGH at it!
Because when the end comes – you know LIVED YOUR LIFE the way it was MEANT FOR YOU TO LIVE.
