Make Your Own Game

Have you given any thought to why you suck?

You suck because you wake up everyday doing the same thing expecting different results.  You suck because you drink uncontrollably and then complain about your lack of success. You suck because you say you want to be great yet you are afraid of risk.   You suck because you tried to do too much too fast. You suck because you make excuses for why you aren’t where you want to be yet.

You suck because you hate what you have become.  You suck because you think you are better than everyone else.  You suck because you think you put in a lot of work and you deserve much more than what you have.  You suck because you hate to be honest with yourself.

You suck because you abuse your authority, you suck because you forget who and what is most important.  You suck because you continually let people down. You suck because love is at your door but you refuse to answer.   You suck because you do not truly believe in anything.  You suck because you don’t invest.  You suck because you think life is supposed to be fair. You suck because you don’t get that your life – the way it looks and feels – can only be changed by you.

Who am I to judge?…I was You.

Try.Fail.Grow.Succeed.
