Anchor Yourself & Let Go

In the 21st Century, everyone is a dreamer and seeker. We look around us and there is competition everywhere, but in this competition and chance to be number 1, you may find your life's best memories and friends. I know I certainly am. My competition is still going, but it is honestly what you take out of it that matters.

At this point in time, if someone has told you that something is "impossible" to do or "most of you will fail" then ...well....they are wrong. There, I said it.

Nothing is impossible to do. Great leaders that we are taught about did not become great. Unlike most people, they did not just act out of a whim, if they wanted to do something they chased after it like their prey. Yea, you may get scratches here and there, but the difference you will bring in your life and who knows who else's, will empower everything and everyone around you.

This life that we have...is just so precious. You may think that you were created to die one day, and that you were given no choice to be apart of this world....however, that is not true. You started from this tiny, puny cell...and now here you are reading this.... this creation ,.. this world that we created.. it in fact is beautiful...

All these materialistic things we have... mean nothing.... but the impact you make on the world does. If you have an opportunity to dream, do it. If you have the opportunity to chase after your dreams, do it. If you have the opportunity to make the people around you happy, take it. The sun rises once a day and sets once a day...your dream however, doesn't vanish at a certain point in life.

Dream big, but dream with your feet on the ground. As much as I want to make my dreams come true, I tend to loose my grip in reality and fly to Cloud-9 in a millisecond. Don't make the mistake of taking the chances you have. Take everything in the reach of your palms and go after every anchored dream possible.

It is easier said written than done... but if you do loose your anchor in reality, understand that there is one other person out there who feels the same.

So, anchor yourself and take off... there is only so far you can go...might as well go to the finish line.

Stitches Unleashed

In life, there will always be those who gain pleasure from someone else's misery, but this may not  be in our hands. What is in our hands however, is the people we surround ourselves with.

It took me a long time to realize this (and to some it may seem like general knowledge), but there are bigger things to life and it should not be left for other people to lead us. Each and every individual has the right to their life and the way they want to lead it. The hurdles we pass are nothing compared to the ones we could imagine...no matter how bad we think it already is.

Everyone has obstacles to face, but to think that yours are greater than the people next to you will be the first step towards opening that door filled with hate and anger. Stop and appreciate. No matter how things may be, appreciate the fact that you have the simple things in life like a roof over your head and a meal to eat.

There are things to life that I don't understand, and let's face it, a lot of people don't. But to let go of our control and grip we have for each other and fall into the hole to look for answers is not at all worth it.

What is the meaning to our being? It's what you want it to be. I will just end it at that. I know people who spend their entire life wondering about this, but why? Time does not wait for anyone. By the time you figure it out, maybe too much time has passed? I think each and every individual should continue to make their own individual choices regardless of someone else's opinion and prosper in their beliefs.

To spend your entire life searching for this meaning will lead you to one day find the answer, but then what? You may now have in your possession the answer, but the time spent in searching for it, the love you have lost, the happiness you have lacked, and the memories you were never able to build are colossal.

If you take two hands and pour water, no matter how hard you try the water will vanish in time.

When you have the chance to turn your life around and the power to make it what we want it to be, don't waste time getting lost in the questions and finding the answers...live it as if it's your one and only chance...because it is.

Don't get lost in the crowd...make yourself stand out by making the right decisions... because if not now, tomorrow, or the day after, there will still be that one day where people will look up to you and regret the past they have left behind.

Enjoy the snow for those of you on the East Coast ....

They say love conquers all and it's true, it does. Love is powerful and with that I hope you will cherish all the love and warmth floating around you...even if today you may not see it.
