It Was Okay, But Now It’s NOT

ByMatthew

It’s okay that you haven’t worked as hard as you could have.

It’s okay that you’ve chosen safety over risk.

It’s okay that you’ve been less than you are.

It’s okay because it’s in the past.

But it’s not okay anymore.

It’s not okay for you to read this and keeping mailing-it-in.

It’s not okay to play it small and safe anymore.

It’s time for you be who you are, truly.

You are forgiven for what you’ve done, and what you haven’t done, in the past.

But it’s no longer okay. Not. Anymore.
