A Mighty Call

Life has an affect on all of us yet so often its meaning passes us by as we take life for granted. Each morning we wake, we move forth with the day. On the matter of seizing it, well that's for one to tell. Not all yearn to be free...free of the clutches of another, or even oneself. Free to roam the streets with grace and ease as the hands of the clock tick onward.  Time is but a gift granted to us ever so preciously, to rule one's will and dedication in hopes of performing and achieving what is so rightfully ours, greatness.

In my eyes I am me, one, individual to all. My limitations are those I set myself. My successes and my losses, I judge myself. None have nor will live the life I lead. Yes, generations of similar encounters have confused my peers and perhaps convinced them otherwise, but come judgement day my heart will play to an orchestra brought to life by my love and peace with this world.

What occurs in the past is done, finished with. There is no hope in other outcomes other than those you choose to stir yourself. Gone are the days behind us. What remains are opportunities; opportunities for change, for starting anew. Opportunities to live a brighter way. Believe in a day in which joy and cheer cast a hypnotic, overwhelming love in our souls. Live in a day in which hospitality and loyalty are but second nature. But gone are those days as well, for we have bequethed them to their lonely dark corners. Chivalry and courtship are not so easily recognized my friend, disguised in charm and wit, swindled by wine and treasures of the heart. The purity of it all has slowly diminished away at the mercy of respect, or lack of.

What one believes theirs is a dangerous belief. Take charge of your life. Know that what you do with it will impact the universe, no matter how small or how grand the effect may be, and a dominoe effect will begin to play out before your life. The many lives you encounter, the many deaths and miracles, are blessings unto you, although not all pleasant. Together our choices, our trivials and trials, are unfolding a path towards happiness filled with tears and passion.

Wise up to the reality of the world. Keep it in mind. Wise up to your immediate reality, so close to home and as far as you're willing to extend it. How far will that be? As far as the eye can see and the hand can reach? Will you allow that to define you, or another? Will you go beyond your limitations? We are all but one. Anything you can conceive you can achieve alongside great strength and resilience, courage, persistence, and support. I am one, me, an individual amongst warriors of life. I own mine and I do as I please. I rule my emotions, my mind, and my actions. I am young and have so much more to develop. It is in high hopes that I progress into a more astute and creative creature of this bountiful earth. All I can ask for is that you accept and trust my soul, allowing me to partake in this freedom I know as life, for it may be the only chance I get...a small one perhaps, but allow me to make it damn well worth it.

Living Every Moment

This moment is never going to happen again. We'll never have it except for in that one precious second in time. A belief doesn't really last, it changes all the time. The first time i heard the saying that time will never happen again in that same way, I finally understood what I was battling myself with. For that, thank You! You know who You are. I could not have been more seriously considering time, or my life and it's individuality in this universe, at a better moment than right now in my current state of maturity. I am one, a unique life form in this vast universe. I am one individual in a crowd. Almost anywhere I go, I can have the grandest day of my life, or I can have the most miserable dependant on my mind set. The mind can do great things... Attitude is crucial. Will and determination are qualities I am blessed with once I've made my mind up. Note, that can be either very quickly or devastatingly slow. I have one life. I will live it how I choose in hopes that my choices will not negatively affect another whilst I continue to live happy and positive. I want to experience life, how I choose to see it. I need to keep in mind that at cross streets, practically anywhere i go, no one knows me and we will most likely never recognize each other in smaller, grouped events. I can do whatever I want and if people watch, who cares. They don't know who I am or what I'm doing. I probably have the most retarded face on right now for trying to write this from my phone, but who cares? You
could be a person's idol under those shades. No one presently in that moment can ever judge you, because we all have our differences. Live your life. Freely. Free of hate, spite, anger, resentment, criticism, all negativity. You have one life. Live it to your fullest, brightest potential. Live it proudly. You will at times fall, but you will rise again. One day you will get to where you want to be, where you see yourself. See yourself
achieving all those marvelous dreams of yours. Attract all that positive energy and channel it towards your will. Make something of yourself! Only you have the power. Forget all that you have been told, taught, and all that you think you know. There's a world of surprise and opportunity ahead. Tackle this life and ground it to meet your needs in order to achieve your own success, your own happiness.
I know that negativity will linger, however fight it. Fight for yourself. Fight for your health, your happiness. Fight for your right to be different and to be allowed to be your own unique person. If you don't fight, who will?

One Life To Live

It's your life, you decide what you want to do with it. Making excuses and playing hacky sack with blame is pointless. You decide who you want to be, how you're going to succeed, and what you're willing to sacrifice. Who you listen to, befriend, and associate with is important. Whose opinion do you value, allowing to inspire or manipulate you? Nobody can make you do anything without your consent or partial agreement. People can only plant seeds, thoughts, doubt, and ideas in your head. Ultimately, you're the one that's going to make any moves. It is your actions that define you. Your actions offer a glimpse into your state of mind. You're the one that will incur criticism or praise. If you're not careful you might lose friends and even family along the way. Represent yourself in the way you claim to feel about certain people, situations, occurrences. I highly doubt one can fully accept a person, even less likely to fully accept many, for all that he or she is. There will most likely always be one or more qualities, views, or decisions that you are not in agreement with. That is always perfectly acceptable. Just remember that it does not mean you can not be friends. Share your experiences. Learn from your differences. The grass might really be more green on the other side however you might learn that, in fact, you prefer dirt, sand, or ice instead...but atleast allow yourself the opportunity to discover so. There will always be another option. This universe is too vast for you to allow someone else to choose for you. Why limit yourself to the rule of another?

Your image is only your representative, almost like an advertisement. Your actions are your services or product. Be more wise and consciencious about what you say, to who you say it, and how well you deliver what you intend to express. I'm not saying to hide anything. Simply be mindful as your comments may be misconstrued, misunderstood, repeated incorrectly, etc. Never forget, do not be judgemental. Your thoughts become you. It is okay to disagree with people. It is okay to not feel the same about "things" with your friends, neighbors, classmates, coworkers, or strangers. Being bothered or upset is understandable. Understand that people are all different and will act differently. Also, change is evergoing yet neverlasting. You might feel a certain way now, but a new experience or trauma can change that quickly. All I recomend is that you learn to recognize certain traits in people, how to communicate what your standpoint is, and decide on what your actions, either directly with that person or pertaining soley to a single situation, will be going forward.
Note that if you begin to think a certain way for so long, you'll find yourself subconsciously acting out those thoughts. Suddenly you find yourself voicing them too. That is why it is important to remember not to judge. You have one life to live. How do you want to spend your one chance to be ALIVE, to be blessed with opportunities, hopes, drive, kindness, love, family, friends, and to have a choice?
