Life isn't reasonable

in life •  7 years ago 

Life isn't reasonable. It's not reasonable that some people are born into a lifetime of abject poverty while others are birthed with a silver spoon in their mouth.

It's not reasonable that bad people get away with horrible crimes while others who try to bring justice to the helpless are taken advantage of.

Life isn't reasonable.
It's not reasonable that mean-spirited, passive-aggressive business leaders gain influence and get promoted while those who work hard, inspire other, and lead quietly suffer through the grind.

It's not reasonable that life takes the young and sweet from us too soon.
It's not reasonable that dreams take more money and time to pursue then we imagine.

You believe that if you have a fair and logical plan and put a reasonable amount of effort behind that plan, that everything will turn out perfectly.
But that's not how unreasonable works.

Be unreasonable. Believe what you want. Work harder than you feel necessary. Laugh when you feel like crying. Try when the last try didn't work. Have a purpose that defines you. Be mission-driven. Forgive the unforgivable.
Ignore the critics and cynics. Invest in love.
Trust people. If it sounds crazy, it might be that one unreasonable thing that catapults you closer to where you want to be.
Don't waste your life being reasonable.

You deserve better.

Its interesting. Thanks for upvoting me. Please follow me.

what a way to flip up the idea of being reasonable! I never thought of it that way but you're right. And in fact I could add that being reasonable with your dreams, ambitions and/or goals is a recipe for failure. I think Tony Robbins said if your dream doesn't scare the sh*t outta you you've got the wrong dream!
The second you are dreaming reasonably tou are installing limitations on yourself.
I will upvote and resteem you tomorrow when my power has recharged a bit! Such a profound post my friend!
