I Don’t Care About You

It isn’t you I’m interested in; It’s who you could become that I care about. When you’re young and confused, you cry out for attention to console you and tell you everything is going to be okay. Everything is not okay and that’s scene as a bad thing when it’s the complete opposite. Life is going to judge you harshly, but it wants you to rise to the occasion.

Think of life as your mom teaching you to walk. At first she holds you, baring your whole body in her hands so that you can position your feet underneath you. Once you can hold yourself up and balance, she releases you so you can feel your full weight pressing down on your feet. Just as you realize you have the capacity to do it again, she steps back causing you to panic so you step forward and fall as she catches you.

It’s as scary then as it is now, but you are never given more than you can’t handle. Your mother doesn’t want you to hurt yourself, but she needs you to step forward and catch yourself. You will even need to fall every now and again so that you understand the consequences. You sit there until you remember that your feet held you up before, so they can do it again.

You shouldn’t be okay with who you are, but be excited for what you can become. Every ideal is a judge, because ideal is the ultimate quality of being and it takes a Godly effort to achieve it, so why shouldn’t it be harsh on whoever dares to attempt to live amongst it?

You are not born knowing enough to change the world, but the world wants you to be a force of change for the better. If you consider every challenge as a test to your character, every tribulation will become a new skill to implement, new insight on how to conduct yourself, new knowledge to practice. Make yourself a force in the world.
