Life is not meant to be work all week, wait for the weekend, and pay rent. I may not know much, but I know one thing. There is a burning passion inside all of us. This passion is what keeps us moving. It is a gift. A dream.
Now I may be hated for a second, but give me a chance before you to argue my statement.
Martin Luther King Jr. did not have a dream. Yup! I went there! No turning back now. You see, the dream had him. He didn't just wake up one morning and say "I think I'm going to start change." The burning passion inside of him said change needs to happen. He listened to that dream and didn't push it off and say "someone else can do it." Listen to that passion, that dream. It chose you. Whether it's riding your bike across the county to raise money for those who need it, or it's going to school to be an artist. That passion chose you.
Now, yes, people can decide not to accept the challenge of the dream, but since we were children, life has provided us with the motivation to carry on. Yes, since we were kids. "Row, row, row your boat" is the perfect motivation that we have had all our lives. It is time to sing! "Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream! Merrily, merrily, merrily! Life is but a dream!"
Call me crazy, but the human body is more than fifty percent water. So let's think of that as the stream. Use all your power to push yourself , but not in a stressful way. Be happy and follow your dream. Mind blown. I know.
I ask one thing of you. Don't sit back and ask, "What if I fail?"
Okay, yeah, you might fail at first. Maybe even two or three times, but you have to move on and become stronger. You'll never know what will truly happen if you don't try. If you ask anyone what they regret most in life, you're going to get something along the lines of "I regret not doing [insert something here]."
The main thing is not doing it. If you're questioning on if you'll like college or not remember that even some of the most successful people in the world hated college.
Steve Jobs dropped out of college and became how successful? I don't even have to tell you and you most likely already know that he was a co-founder for Apple. These are two huge companies one man founded starting in his garage with hardly any money. He listened to the passion inside him and never gave up.
Start living, and stop just merely existing. Once you listen to the dream and passion inside you, you will have started living. Yes there is doubt and failure, but push through and never give up. You are never alone.
