I have really good news for you. You do not not have to settle for a mediocre existence. You are not stuck.
No matter how old or young, no matter what your level of education, you hold your destiny in your hands. Maybe you have forgotten this fundamental truth. Maybe you’ve heard, either implicitly or explicitly, that you should give up on your dream. Someone who was "looking out for you", suggested you take the safe route. Momentum and naivete have brought you to a point where practicality trumps dream-chasing. Do not fear. Like a cowboy on a bronco, intention and unwavering focus can guide life in the direction that you choose. Pick an daunting industry; entertainment, entrepreneurship, science, business, or writing. One of the most common refrains you'll hear from a wannabe is that, "It's not practical" or "too hard to break into". I’ve got great news; You're wrong There's room for one more. One more person who wants it so bad they will run through a brick wall. One person willing to stay up until midnight reading the writings of those who've come before. One more person who is dedicated to their own unique spin, not just copying and imitating. One more person who is excited to blaze a new route and avoid the path of least resistance. Lucky you, you're just in time. P.S. - Once you’re there make room for the next person!

The video at Earth2045.com is the most important piece of media you will consume today. The video is powerful and compelling, but more importantly illustrates that we, collectively, have the power to dictate our future with the choices we make. Just as you can toggle between heaven and hell in the video, the choices you make on a daily basis will make a real impact.
Are you buying synthetic, processed foods, or whole fruits and veggies? Are you biking and walking whenever possible, or rely on your car for every trip? Do you care about the world that you pass on to the next generation? As an optimist, I believe that we can toggle our future in the right direction. |
