Try to help me understand something. How can a person be totally and completely without a path of purpose in life? How can you be so lost that you have no idea what tomorrow will bring? I see a few examples of lost people in my life and it totally baffles me. Everybody has at least a little structure in their lives; knowing the routine is part of life, yet there are people out there who are totally lost...The way we pick our paths is by making decisions and choosing what tomorrow will bring (or at least the consequences and general idea of what will happen) but the people of which I speak are too afraid to make any dicision of any kind. This quote sums it up fairly well."The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; Who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who, at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails at least fails while doing greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt
Those who are brave enough to make a decision are the ones who move forward in life. I personally cannot imagine life without the swiftness and crazy motions that make up the dance that is life. Living is choosing, and choosing is moving, and moving is success. Don't be one of those lost souls who have no direction, purpose, or backbone; one of those people that expect life to just happen instead of going out and making it out to be what they want it to be. I beg you not to. Here is my challenge to you, my sweet friends: Spread your wings and jump, even if you fall you will know you fell trying. Every baby bird has to learn to fly sometime, otherwise they will become pray to those brave enough to learn to soar. Leave the nest and move on with life. Value the things you learn from falling, and enjoy watching yourself rise above the tree tops. Know the worth that is triumph, and learn the lesson that is defeat. Embrace life, chase life, don't run or hide from it. True happiness is the high of knowing that your life has purpose, knowing that you are purpose. I say this with deep concern for the future generations, and for my own generation, that we might strive to follow in the footsteps of the great minds and heroes of history. So work to be Amazing, Try to be Amazing, and then simply Stay Amazing. =)
