It's Okay

It’s okay.

It’s okay if you’re not as perfect as some other person in your life.

It’s okay if you’re not sure what your passions are.

It’s okay if you feel like you don’t have a clue.

It’s okay if you feel like you’re not living up to your ideals all the time.

It’s okay if you disagree with me.

It’s okay if you agree with me but can’t apply it to your life.

It’s okay if you’re young and you don’t know what’s going on.

It’s okay if you’re in a position in your life where your life doesn’t work like you think it should.

It’s okay if you live with someone who makes living by your ideals hard or impossible. 

It’s okay to make exceptions.

It’s okay to change ideas.

It’s okay to reject, reform, recycle, reuse, and restate.

Take a deep breath. Exhale.

Close your eyes. Open your eyes.

It’s okay if life isn't exactly like you want it right now. Don’t get complacent, but you’re allowed to relax. Let life wash against you.

Evil is boring. Cynicism is idiotic. Fear is a bad habit. Despair is lazy. Joy is fascinating. Love is an act of heroic genius. Pleasure is our birthright.”

intend to feel good all of the time.

write your book.

launch.

make ecstatic sex a priority. (this deliberateness will make you more creative, productive and generally gracious. on your death bed, you will think about all the amazing sex you had this lifetime.)

burn your to-do list.

write poetry. one a day.

make a point to be as encouraging as possible, as much as possible, to everyone possible.

don’t look back.

if you feel like you’re always failing, consider that this is part of being an artist. let it be a divine inclination. keep going.

enter.

leave.

eat real food.

often refuse to be in the presence of people who make you feel repressed, anxious, or pull your frequency down.

do not entertain haters.

send light to the haters.

give it away. you probably don’t need it and someone else does.

turn off the tv.

let it be easy.

burn candles. during the day.

fall in love. with yourself. with the person you’re with. with the persons in your orbit.
because no one is perfect, but you can let the love be perfect for the both of you.
because everyone — everyone — is a doorway to God.
because you can get there from here.

because life is short.
