Push

Everyday we must push to be the best we can be; to overcome all of the statistics to prove us wrong. In order to be someone different, you must do things different than anyone else. Better than anyone, including yourself, could ever believe. Never let others' opinions (or your own for that matter) undermine your capabilities. You are what you can see. The only potential that you can obtain is the one that is distant.

Now

Now is the time to change.
Now is the time to right wrongs.
Now is the time to become, not to destroy.
Now is the time to be serious.
Now is the time to be a man.
Now is the time to face the facts, and then live up to them.
Now is the time to be weak, and be made strong.
Now is the time to find a path.
Now is the time to be an example.
Now is the time to follow an example.
Now is the time to learn.
Now is the time to teach.
Now is the time to light up the darkness.
Now is the time to stick to your guns.
Now is the time to appreciate.
Now is the time to be lost in order to be found.
Now is the time to give.
Now is the time to crawl, then walk.
Now is the time to listen.
Now is the time to see.
Now is the time to feel.
Now is the time to speak out.
Now is the time to shed a tear.
Now is the time to shout for joy.
Now is the time to improve.
Now is the time to try.
NOW is the time to DO.

Thank you Emily Warren.

Today.

   Just a little introspective thinking. I find it's therapeutic for me. I've been asking myself questions lately. How does one go about deciding what to do for the rest of one's life? Should you chase your dreams, or be a realist and accept the statistics? It can be such a difficult decision, as this choice will determine much of your happiness in life. But I think that if you truly want to be happy in life, you must do that which makes you happy! Make sense?

   Abraham Lincoln had an idea of this concept I think. "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing," he said. I will resolve today to succeed. I will resolve today to be confident and not only chase my dreams, but catch them as well. I resolve today to exceed my own expectations for myself and reach to new heights.
