All the Time in the World


Did you realize when you woke up this morning you had an advantage that a magnitude of people did not have? Now, I don't like thinking about life through the scope of the absence of it, but just understand that you are in a position that many wish that have the opportunity of being in. I sulk, and complain about college all day, but there is someone out there just wishing they could pick up a book. I often take for granted the situations life has afforded for me, because I don't think about things outside of myself. This right here, all that I do, it isn't only for me. Yes, it's my life, it's your life, but it is given meaning through the people you mean something to. That may be your children, your family, your significant other, etc. With that being said, you have to understand that the pressure you feel is only an indication that you are on the right path. Think of it as a push; a call to action; a pull toward what is meant for against the gravity that keeps you grounded. Why do you think the sky is the limit? It is with these points that I gladly announce to you all that you have all the time in the world to do what you need to do to prepare yourself for the better things in store for you. Life is a journey, the destination will be there no matter how long it takes, but it is the journey that make the best stories. I wouldn't want to hear about someone buying a new car, I'd love to hear about what that person needed to do to afford that new car. I don't even mean through death, or the afterlife. The destination is success in every sense of the word through what you place value in. My final point here is to please do those less fortunate a favor, and don't disrespect by not making the best of your situation. You have every opportunity they wish they had and every resource available to maintain it, so don't disrespect their dreams by taking you circumstances for granted. There is no reason why we shouldn't live up to our full potential. We have the pressure indicating whether or not the path we're on is the right one, we have the supporting cast that we close our eyes and visualize when we find that strength to keep moving through the storm, and we have the spirit of those less-fortunate than us that we should use to not only meet all expectations, but also give back to show them that their dreams can also become a reality. I live my life under the assumption that all necessary changes can be made as of yesterday; that's when I knew I needed to change, I planned it out today, and it will happen tomorrow. So don't worry about how long it may take for things to go your way, because if done right, you'll be blessed with all the time in the world.
