when you grow up you tend to get told by parents, ‘elders’, teachers, ‘authority’ figures that the world is just the way that it is, and that your life is to live your life inside the world and try not to get into too much trouble, and maybe get an education, and a job, make some money and settle down and have a family, but life can be alot more broader than that if you can realize one simple thing and that is everything around us that we call “life” was made up by people who are really no smarter than you. you can find out on your own what it is that you want, and go after it as if your life DEPENDS ON IT, WHY? because it DOES. but what do we say? ah well do it tomorrow? why because your guaranteed tomorrow? you sure going to show up tomorrow? there are alot of opportunities that are were here yesterday, but not today. the harder the battle the sweeter the victory. see the struggle is more important than the dream…. the kind of person you become is truly important, the character that you build, the courage and strength that you develop, its where you wake up in the morning and look at yourself and your a different kind of person, you walk with a different kind of spirit. you talk with a different kind of tone. you may not know exactly what you want, but you do know what you don’t want, and that is to be another mindless slave that lives an average life until you die. you are in control of your own destiny, not your family, or your friends or anybody. you have to dive into what you think is uncomfortable and just do it. what you think somebody is going to laugh at you? point at you? think differently about you? you think you cant do it? you can. the single thing that i absolutely love about young kids is they have no fear. why do they have no fear? because until they feel pain they are fearless. if you think about it, consciously and subconsciously we are raised to not be fearless. theres not much we can do about this as a kid, but once you acknowledge you can change it. there are alot of things you cant control growing up(trust me, if anybody knows its me), but I know one thing…once you acknowledge anything in your life….. truly acknowledge it… you have the freedom that generations before you fought and died for….you can change anything you want about yourself anytime you want. it is a choice. so i ask you… what is the single one thing about yourself that you want to change RIGHT NOW? whatever it is… i am here to tell you that you can make that change and nobody is going to stop you but yourself. so how bad do you really want it? are you willing to sweat for it? bleed for it? cry for it? you are in control of your own destiny, you can be anything you want!
