It's very likely that many of us will never be able to achieve our dreams. Our lives may never go according to plan, that's the way things are unfortunately. Some of us won't even be given a chance to strive for the things we want most in life, be it love, money, profession, or whatever. A few of us try our hardest to help others who to achieve their goals and dreams. We support, encourage or take even more active roles in others lives to make sure they are given their shot at glory. Even that, sadly, might not be enough. The reasons are plentiful and on most occassions, it is a multitude of factors that leads to a person's failure at achieving something. So, what does one do when they know that there is nothing that can be done to help? To me, there is nothing else to do but to keep trying anyway. Because we love each other. We never give up on ourselves or each other, otherwise life would be meaningless.
Then there are the very rare people who do succeed in living their dreams, seeing their greatest aspirations achieved. What is the difference between them and the rest of us? well, many things really, but a very large factor is commitment and passion. The problem here is that though most of us dream and aspire, we rarely find ourselves being able to give ourselves completely up to striving towards these ambitions. It is because we are afraid that we might lose and find ourselves with nothing left, so we always tend to hold something back. We're unable to realize that this little things we keep in reserve, or our backup plans, or whatever we call them, might just be the very reason we aren't able to reach the top. We think we are not good enough, and this is one of the biggest problems... self-doubt. True, sometimes, the outlook is just so darned bleak that even the most self-confident among us can be broken down. I know it is a lot easier said than done, but really, there is no other way to do it. Self-doubt will destroy us eventually, in worse ways than we could possibly imagine.
I have always believed that it much better to fail having tried our very best than never having tried at all or simply being half-hearted about it. I think..no, I'm pretty sure that I will always be giving myself full-heartedly to the things I'm passionate about. (like the love of my life) hahaha.
I can't expect people to actually take me seriously, because that's just the way people are, hypocritical, cynical, and jsut plain boring. I mean, come on, you don't start living and trying to make a difference, no one's gonna remember you. if you're okay with that, then fine, go ahead living your dull, pathetic daily lives. For the rest of you who want to be remembered, who want to be heard loud and proud, then give in to who you are completely and don't hold anything back.
