As we move forth in our life, growing and learning through our experiences, we often stumble on a moment where we reflect on our decision we have made. Often, we think about these past or present decisions right before all of us individually go to sleep. And now and again we think about it, and we could not go to sleep because of how possibly "stupid" the decision was. Maybe that's just me....but looking back at those things, those choices we've formed define who we are as individuals, and to the people around us. Society brings all sorts of suggestions; things to follow, a rule to be guided on, etc. But those so called "rules" restrict us from actually opening up, and finding our own passion. Always being restricted, or off limits to do things. Strive at your own pace, strive at your power.....Often people think about that sucess is a gift, that its only gifted to the people that are special.,But it is inside all of us, you just gotta dig down deep in yourself, and find sucess. It aint gonna be easy going through that dark tunnel, seeing all the choices you've made, but that's why life is a good challenge. We say "life rough. or why me? Why is this happening to me lord"?A motivational speaker going by the name of Les Brown once said "For those of you that have experienced hardships, don't give up on your dream. The rough times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass."
Some of you may or may have not read the Essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, but he says ""Man is his own star; and the soul that can Render an honest and a perfect man,Commands all light, all influence, all fate;Nothing to him falls early or too late.Our acts our angels are, or good or ill, Our fatal shadows that walk by us still." Meaning, follow your own voice, you are the person who guides you, no one else. You command your life, and how you want to go with it.
You may want to flee back from your desires because of the fear of failure, but thats how we develop to become great. Our decisions, and passions guide us to where we want to be. Just like the short story called "A Sound of Thunder" written by Ray Bradbury. At the point of the story, a man name Eckels goes in the wilderness where dinosaurs are fair game to kill. And once he sees the dinosaur he panics and does not want to kill the beast because he is scared. Now, that could be each and one of you in a situation with life. Second guessing yourself, and not pushing forward. Go what you want to do, nobody can influence you but you. Strive at your own power, and be fearless, of failure.
