Imagine yourself 90 years old on a porch in a rocking chair looking back on your life. Now that image... good! Now let me tell you, studies show that the biggest regret from elderly people on their deathbed is not what they did... its what they didnt do. The risks they never took. How sad it would be to get to the end of your life and realize you never truly lived. This is your life, nobody elses. No matter how much your society, your parents, your friends want you to live the way they want you to live... YOU RUN THE SHOW. When you shut your eyes and go to sleep at night the entire world seizes to exist and when you wake up its born again. This is your life, youre in control. You gotta do what feels right in your heart. Now go back to the rocking chair and think what would your future self say about the ideas you never created, the books you never wrote, the words you never spoke. As you were tired, or you were scared, or you wanted to fit in and be cool. But greatness aint about being cool, a great man or woman will never fit in because they stand out. But I get it, you want it easy but if greatness was easy you would see a lot of successful people and lot of great people... astronauts, professional athletes or superheroes...but you dont. You see lot of people with big mouth making excuses on facebook trying to get likes but they dont even like themselves. See the difference between winners and losers is persistence. And a talent, its persistence. My teacher told me about the bamboo tree. After planting the seed it takes five years for it to break through the ground, thats five whole years of attention, care and water everyday. If you miss a day it dies right there but once it breaks through the ground after those five years, within five weeks it grows 90ft. tall so your journey isnt gonna be easy, its gonna take time. And when you have a dream, people gonna laugh coz they wont see what you see. They will say what is that idiot doing, watering the ground? They are incapable of seeing the plant thats planted inside of you. They have sight but no vision, only you have the vision. So let them laugh, theyll say be real, be realistic, but realism is often an excuse for pessimism and you cant let other peoples opinion define the reality so let them laugh. But I guarantee, you wont find one successfull person in history that people didnt laugh at. So stop worrying about your reputation coz your reputation let people think about you, your character is who you are. Make the commitment wholeheartedly. Stop thinking, and JUST DO IT. Do it for you, the real you coz you deserve it. You dont get to do over in life. So LIVE YOUR DREAMS. You dont gotta be great to started but you gotta get started to be great.
