I am having a hard time figuring this whole life thing out. I mean does an individual make their own life or does life make you. I say that because recently its as if my life is a Rubric's Cube and I can't get all the colors to match up. And don't get me wrong, I am not trying to write a sappy ass, emotional post, but an open and honest one. They say rags to riches--but really...riches to rags, on some real shit. I am trying to stay positive as I figure my life out.
One thing that I know for sure is when striving towards your goals, there is a thin line between being realistic and being straight up delusional. This is when it’s extremely important that you be completely honest with yourself…with not only where you’re going, but where you currently are.
Unfortunately I’ve seen a lot of people get so lost in their goals that they miss out on opportunities that could’ve helped them. Don’t allow yourself to get blinded by the brightness and allure of your dreams. Now by all means once you made up your mind of what your going to do, go out and do it…but understand that there are many steps required to get there. And not one step is more important than the other. Until your goal is reached, consider each step as bridge to your destiny.
And PLEASE THINK carefully about your goals! I find nothing more tragic than a goal that’s not well thought out. The one that really bothers me the most is when someone is just trying to live out something seen on TV. This is because I know that the final product of what’s shown on TV is not fairly balanced with reality and illusion…it’s mostly illusion. And if you don’t understand that, it’s a good chance that you will become delusional.
Decide what you want out of life. Then set your goals high. For the world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you are going.
On the real--the greatest mistake you can make is to be afraid of making one. The earlier you make those mistake, and realize them, the better. Don’t be afraid to try. The difference between greatness and mediocrity will be how often you try. No one has ever possessed enough power, prestige, or knowledge to always win. It’s fundamental to life that you’ll win some and you’ll lose some.
Turn your possibilities into reality by simply taking action. I have had to learn this lesson the hard way recently..and as down as I may be at times, I know I gotta keep on clawing my way. This is a message that I think everyone can take something out of..even if you are thinking...wtf is Calvin talking about...chances are you are probably a hater who hasn't realized that we are all human.
