Life presents opportunities rolled out on in red carpet where life is easy. Bullshit. Life hurls opportunities at you in the form of dark forests, mile high mountains, lakes of fire, and anything else that you wouldn't dare touch. The path isn't easy, it's not fair, and often it seems unfathomable. However, isn't the chaos of life makes the journey so fulfilling? So worth living for?
Take the courage you have and embrace the joyful life of uncertainty. Take the challenge and be passionate. To live any other way is an insult to yourself. We are meant to be adventurous. We are supposed to stick our necks on the line. Get out there and live. I mean really LIVE.
Your should not be living life in the fear of failure, but the height of success. At every moment of your life you should realize, you are in existence. The thoughts of past mistakes haunt us. Scaring us into not trying something new. Remember that time you asked the pretty girl out? It seemed like she ripped your heart out and destroyed it on the spot. It doesn't matter. Remember the time you tried out for the sports team, but just weren't good enough to make it? It doesn't matter. Remember the time you failed your math test? IT DOESN'T MATTER! You have second chances, you can ask the next one out, you can work on your skills, you can study harder. Even more, experience is the greatest teach because it gives you the test at the beginning and allows you to live the lesson after. The visions of the future should be all the inspiration you need to live for something bigger.
Live your life full of passion. Appreciate the scenery. Take a chance. Tell someone how you feel about them. Do that thing you always wanted to do, but were too scared to do it. Don't allow what others will think of you bother you. Honestly, most people are too worried thinking about what others are thinking of them. They don't have time to judge you. Don't let failure define you.
Only you define you.
The heights of success transcend any melancholic thoughts your limiting mind presents.
I share this because I am surrounded by people that are out there. Experiencing life in a way that most would not dare to touch. They are working their asses off day in and day out. They come home with barely enough energy to comprehend what had just happened to them. They close their eyes, only for a moment, and realize they are back to the grind. Not even enough time for a dream to even pass their conscious thinking.
All of this has made me realize several things. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the people that have been placed around me. Furthermore, I am grateful for the challenges life has given me. Through this task at hand, thus far, I have learned much. I am reminded me of the value of a good time. The amount of relaxation inter wound in the mid-day nap. It makes me appreciate a good friend. It adds flavor to a nice ice cold beer. It shows the meaning behind a unconditional laugh. The warmth from a meaningful hug. The passion in a true tear.
Cheers people, live well.
