What if I all I want is a small, slow, simple life? What if I am most happy in the space of in between. Where calm lives. What if I am mediocre and choose to be at peace with that?
The world is such a noisy place. Loud voices lecturing me to hustle, to improve, build, strive, yearn, acquire, compete, and grasp for more. For bigger and better. Sacrifice sleep for productivity. Strive for excellence. Go big or go home. Have a huge impact in the world.
What if I am not cut out for the frantic pace of this society and cannot even begin to keep up? And see so many others with what appears to be boundless energy and stamina but know that I need tons of solitude and calm, an abundance of rest, and swaths of unscheduled time in order to be healthy. Body, spirit, soul healthy. Am I enough?
What if I am too religious for some and not spiritual enough for others? Non-evangelistic. Not bold enough. Yet willing to share in quiet ways, in genuine relationship, my deeply rooted faith. And my doubts and insecurities.
What if I embrace my limitations and stop railing against them? Make peace with who I am and what I need and honor your right to do the same. Accept that all I want is a small, slow, simple life. A mediocre life. A beautiful, quiet, gentle life.
Your decision, your life. Get that quiet, simple life. Maybe thatâs what we are programed to do. What if to get that kind of life you actually need to sweat more for it?
if you want to lead the life you want never use âwhat ifâ âŚalways âwhy notâ.itâs your life ,you control it and deserve the good shit it comes with.I have kids,iâve given them the best i could in life,they are comfortable,sometimes they have to take a back seat and let me enjoy my time as well.Your happiness comes first otherwise unapata unajinyonga bure sababu raha yako umeipeana
you are godamn right.Its transforming your fears and manifest them into actions.Iâd better ask and hear ânoâ than ask and wonder âwhat ifâ.I force myself to explore whats possible and not just what is.Its more of a slogan for an interesting lifeâŚâmy lifeâ
if i was to reply to your context why phrase would be i want to be a mediocre,i want to be ignorantâŚbut all i did was to be rhetorical with life issues and used" what if" ask @Tom Bayeye
