work posters, 3.6.23

walking to the 2nd floor storage, i saw a work poster in the garbage. i haven’t seen one of those in years. i feel like they’re more of 1990’s/early 2000’s thing. the poster had a picture of a team rowing a boat captioned ‘get to work.’ under it read, 'you aren’t being paid to believe in the power of your dreams.’ i had to sit there and think about it. i didn’t understand it, but i think it means believing is different than doing. pretty much pay yourself the mind of doing the work to achieve your dreams rather than only believing. believing is one thing, but it isn’t the whole thing. lately people have been asking about music and writing that i’ve been working on. these reoccurrences can’t be simply coincidental. it’s like i know what god is telling me, but i need to see it from the universe, too. i guess what i’m trying to say is i’m giving myself every excuse not to go for it, when in reality, i have every reason to jump off the deep end with my beliefs.

after all, isn’t the existence of the deep end enough proof we were meant to swim?
