These Words Might Cut You

If they hurt, it’s because you were never meant to stay small.

I don’t want to hurt you with these words.

But if you read them honestly, they may cut you just a little.

Have you given up on yourself?

I’m seeing it everywhere lately. People quietly surrendering the dreams they once had for their own lives.

Brave people, beautiful people, laying down their fire… settling into an endless gray couch of “I guess this is just how my life will be now.”

Even the thought of this for you makes me want to cry.

The acceptance of average is so sad. So small. So wrong for you.

I know how this feels, because I lived there for years.

Unmotivated.
Undisciplined.
Disconnected from my own aliveness.

As a father, I was convincing myself I was being “responsible” for others, when really, I was just giving up on myself.

I believed things that were never true:

I thought at 49 I was past my physical prime.
I thought I would never run again.
I thought I was “being a good dad” by abandoning my own dreams.
I thought I was stuck in the same tired relationship forever.
I thought I had already become who I was going to be.

I was wrong.

Painfully wrong.

Humans can transform at any age. There are people breaking world records in their eighties.

Falling in love for the first time at sixty.

Building new bodies at fifty.

Starting new careers at forty.

Coming alive at thirty.

Reborn at twenty.

Life is not over for you. You are not done.

I am stronger now than I have ever been now.
I can run like the wind again.
My business is expanding.
My friendships are deep and real.
My dreams are coming back to me.

And I want that for you too.

So please, do not give up.
Do not surrender your hope.
Do not say you are too old or too tired or too broken.

You are not done yet.

If this hit something inside you, if something moved, even a little…
