If you can get past his pants, this is a great speech.

You were meant to be here.

Where you are right now is the culmination of everything you’ve done over your entire life. Good or bad. Whether you’re in a job you love or a job you hate. In a supporting relationship or married to someone who poisons your dreams.

If you look at your situation and find it lacking, what you want is yours for the taking. Just as today is the culmination of everything you’ve done, this time next year will be the culmination of everything you do between now and then.

It might not be a simple thing to change your life. It’s certainly not going to happen overnight. There might be tears. Might be struggle. Maybe some heart ache, even. But this is your time. Your time.

What are you waiting for?
