You have to stop telling people they're okay. You're lying to them. For example, if I tell myself that I'm okay at this point in time, I'd be lying to myself. And those who agree with me would be lying.
I could work on battling my depression. I could focus more in school. I could enforce healthier choices for myself. I could work out a little more. I could try to talk to people way more than I do. Do you get what I'm saying?
I could work on myself. I could be better. And they can, too. Stop telling people they're okay. You are giving them false hope and you're telling them that they're okay and they should stay in their current mindset. Because they're okay. You're lying to them.
Don't be afraid of telling people how much potential they have. They could be so much more than what they are and you could help jumpstart their motivation by not lying to them. I heard this quote. I don't believe in a God but, someone who is reading this, might. So, I will give you my version of what I heard.
"Imagine when you die. You really thought you were okay. You were okay with not improving things for yourself. Imagine being okay with the bare minimum of yourself instead of your full potential. Think about how you look and think right now. What if you were given pictures by a God and it was supposed to be you. You at your fullest, brightest potential. You never got there because, you believed you were okay at the very bottom. Think about it."
I heard the quote and I started thinking about every direction my future could go. I've never been more aware or excited about who I'm supposed to be.
So, I tell you.
Stop telling people they're okay... when you know they're not. Tell them they have potential to grow. Encourage greatness. Don't be afraid to tell someone how they could be a better version of themselves.
You can better than what you are. You have potential. Don't give up now and miss all the opportunities you're bound to have. Be fearless and find your purpose.
You won't find it at the bottom.
* I wish someone would have told me I wasn't okay.
