Effort

As I recently found out, people are oblivious. They fail to recognize opportunity. So caught up in their own lives they become unaware to the chances they are missing, and therefore become content. Content with achieving the standard, and are not tempted to surpass it. We are growing up in a world where the minimum is accepted, and humans deter their efforts to make themselves someone. I guess you could say, we are losing inspiration. It's times like these that we can lose sight of the future. And, I am not speaking for the adults in this world, or for the people who have their heads on straight. No, I am speaking for my teenage friends who as I talk to, become less and less excited for their lives ahead, and that are so engulfed with their well-being now that they never want to grow up. Kids that obsess over their hair, or makeup, or social media accounts, or significant others, they tend to all lose motivation to become something in their life. As they deal with the traumas that occur now, the idea of a "bigger picture" can get lost. However, it's as simple as walking down the street without taking selfies, or auditioning for that role without getting nervous. The distractions that inflict upon your intentions can change the outcome, sometimes in a positive or negative way. As I've stated many times, when getting frustrated or scared with what's happening now, take a step back and look at the bigger picture. You have so much to look forward in life, and you as a human are capable of so much. Just think, you basically are made out of the same things as celebrities, or renown philosophers. The only difference is they might just work harder, or think differently. If you have a "dream" or goal you want to reach, there are so many resources you can use to obtain it. Maybe, the only thing you're missing right now is time. And trust me there's lots of that. Don't get discouraged or lose hope just because your goal can't be reached right now. Keep working on it, and never lose sight of what you want to become, because the easiest way to fail is to stop trying.
