Wearing Out Vs Rusting Out; Embracing Life's Challenges

 Theodore Roosevelt once said, "We must all either wear out or rust out, every one of us. My choice is to wear out." This powerful quote is a reminder that we have a choice on how we live our lives and if we want to make the most of our time on this earth, or simply fade away.

Roosevelt was a man with a lot of energy and drive. He lived life to the fullest and accomplished great things. His quote encourages us to do the same. Whether we're working, exercising, or pursuing our passions, we should put our all into everything we do. We should strive to wear out rather than rust out.

When we wear out, we're using our physical and mental strengths to their fullest potential. We're pushing ourselves to the limit, taking risks, and embracing challenges. Wearing out means that we're exploring our true potential and not allowing fear or laziness to hold us back. Whether it's trying something new, stepping outside of our comfort zone, or pursuing a new opportunity, we should always choose to wear out rather than rust out.

So what can we do to ensure that we're wearing out? Firstly, we must set goals and push ourselves towards them. This could be anything from learning a new hobby, running a marathon, or starting a new business venture. We must also challenge ourselves daily and step outside of our comfort zones regularly. This could mean taking the stairs instead of the elevator, going for a morning jog, or reaching out to a new connection.

Above all, we must commit to living a full and active life. Making the choice to wear out means making the most of the time we have, taking risks, and embracing challenges. By doing so, we can push ourselves to greater heights and achieve our dreams. So let's wear out instead of rust out, and live life to its fullest potential.

Janet Jackson feat Q-Tip - Got Til It's Gone

If you’d told me from the start that you’re playing around

It's alright, had a dream last night

That the world stopped turning

But your madness it kept on

Guess I wasn’t too bright

And I really wasn’t learning

Should have seen it all along.

All those sweet (sweet) sweet kisses (yeah)

And those sweet (sweet) red roses (yeah)

They convinced me it was you

I made you (you) exclusive (yeah)

Now it's so (now it’s conclusive that) conclusive

That you wasn’t doing it too.

Chorus (x2):

If you’d told me from the start that you’re playing around

It would have been fine…

Then I would have played too and I guess

I would have had a good time.

Something didn’t feel right, and I wish I knew it

I just could not see your games

I got respect for you, and you put me through it

Why would you bring me so much pain.

I would stick up for you, 'cause I did (I did adore you) adore you

While my dogs would chew you out

Tried to be so nice on those lonely nights

(On those lonely, lonely, lonely nights)

But I should have figured you out.

Chorus (x2)
