Christmas Truth

Less than one week until Christmas.
It's easy to let go of everything that matters,
And let consumerism engulf you.
No one will blame you.
It's pretty much the norm.
People who maintain their disciplines and practices throughout the ups and downs in their schedules and lives are the outliers and oddities,
Living on the edges of what is viewed by the whole as normal.
Looked upon as "extreme", "fanatical", and "obsessed",
They are regarded as something so outside of regular behavior,
Their actions, habits, and practices are deemed unnatural and excessive.
As if having discipline that carries you through changing times, feelings, and beliefs is a ridiculous concept for a so called adult.

The reality is - you’re either about something or not.
You’re either making progress or falling back.
Completely giving up on anything that moves you forward until a better time is weak minded escapism.
This is the norm in today’s society of fast, easy, and entertaining.

The truth is these people’s expectations are childish.
They want a specific outcome,
But only if it comes in an easy and convenient package.
The unwillingness to go the distance and find a way through the obstacles in the way shines a light on their truth.

They do not have the strength, courage, or vision to grasp what they desire and bring it to life.
Like a child, they’re waiting for it to be handed down to them, and placed in their hand.

Their desires, dreams, and goals will wither and fade,
As their bodies, minds, and spirits follow.
And they will be remembered for no great example to anyone.
Just another mass consumer.
Destined to mediocrity and the void.
