Be Your Own Superhero

"Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary."

We live in a society and generation filled with people who believe that sitting around and waiting for their dream to come true is the way to go, because apparently "good things come to those who wait". Well, here's a news flash: good things come to those who get up off their a**es and make sh*t happen.

Your dream body, job, home, etc. is not going to be handed to you out of pure luck. Your parents allowing you to depend on them will soon not be great enough to fix your problems. You will never truly be able to move closer to your goals until you get up and work for it.

I am so sick of seeing people sitting around feeling sorry for themselves that they haven't reached their goal or complaining that the "world isn't being fair to them." The world does not revolve around you. The world is not always going to be fair and guess what, you have to get over it. If you think that's harsh, I really don't care and I'm not going to apologize because that's the truth.

In our society, it is believed that we have to baby everyone and be "politically correct." I am beyond over that bullsh*t. You are not always correct and other people have every right to tell you when the way you are behaving is inadmissible. People should not be getting awards for "effort" because guess what, your effort wasn't good enough and you didn't get first. That means what you are doing isn't good enough. That teaches you to work harder and push yourself in order to get that position, body, dream house, etc. that you have always wanted.

You cannot steadily succeed until you have failed. Failures are meant to prove to you that at the time being, you are not good enough, but with hard work and dedication, you have the potential to be good enough. For those of you in a tough spot, craving something so vigorously, get up and work for it. Do not sit around and wait for it, because I promise, if you keep going and keep pushing you will reach your goals and dreams. So, be your own superhero and get sh*t done, because no one is going to save you except for yourself.

To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before...

One of the things that I love most is space. I am a HUGE space nerd. Literally ask any of my friends. I was first introduced to space when my dad dragged me to see Star Trek. Since walking out of that movie theater in 6th grade, becoming an astronaut hasn't been just some wild dream that could come true.
