I like the word Never.
It is both final and infinite.
It is like a buffer stop at the end of the train tracks. It is also like the universe, an infinite expanding je ne sais quoi.
And not terribly helpful.
You’ll never be an artist or writer (well, 19 books and a blog 2 1/2 years running later. . .)
You’ll never get a degree (a Bachelor of Arts if you please)
You’ll never make your living as a creative (well, still working on that one!)
My point is not to brag. My point is never is a long, long time of not. There aren’t too many things that are never. People are changeable, adaptable and quite clever. The universe is always on the move. So is time.
We usually can find a way to disqualify never.
And that is by doing.
The people who tell me never have just issued me a challenge. But sometimes it’ll get me down. It has in the past, destroyed me.
I hope no one has told you a never that stopped you in your tracks.
If it has, I challenge you to question that never. Nevers can become beliefs, and when they do, we stop examining them and just live them.
Take a belief out of your pocket and have a good look at it. Is it your never?
I’ll never do or have or be this or that? Who says! Only you.
Take your never out for a walk and show it who is boss.
