Tick...tock...tick...tock...another second is fading into the sunset. Hopefully we're moving towards a goal. Maybe its to get an "A" in one class you've been struggling in; maybe its an athletic achievement (a faster mile time or a feat of endurance) or maybe its personal; reconnecting with a friend that we haven't seen in a while....This is life...
When our forefathers wrote the Decleration of Independence, how would they be able to know that all we ever wanted was the right to pursuit happiness. Sometimes our efforts are futile; but we constantly try. That is the American way; we never give up, no matter what.
What is all the money worth if we are not happy. Money cannot buy happiness, no matter how hard you believe in it. If we achieve great things; but if we're not happy, if we don't enjoy life, what is it all worth? We're all human; humanity does not need excessive material wealth; it needs people who are focused, who are determined, those that are in pursuit of happiness, or in pursuit of a goal.
There are over six billion hearts and souls living in this modern world. We have one goal; to chase happiness, love and freedom. We are all free deep inside us. This is the world we live in.

Adaption
We wake up. We live. We sleep. The cycle moves on. The world doesn’t stop no matter how hard we want it to be. We are the great adaptors; we have to respond to change every day. As they say “the world is not fair”. At every moment around the world, hearts are broken; opportunities are made and lost, lives change for the better or the worse. And still we wake up every day and continue living through the marathon, the journey of life.
It comes at different points of your life. We realize at a moment, that we have to change. It is the tipping point. The world’s moving and we have to adapt to it, no matter how badly we want it to stop.
Life as it has been said, is too short, there is much to do, and too little time to do it. Simply there is not enough time to change, to adapt your heart, your mind and your world to what you need to do.
We wake up tired and groggy. What do we live for? What is that answer? It’s up to you to find out for yourself.
If we do not move on or adapt, we cannot live. No matter what life throws as an obstacle we cannot let it change our lives for the worse. We must adapt, we must live.

Dream Big
Is the sky the limit?
Growing up, I had one friend who really dreamed big. In forth grade, he wanted to build an airplane, and he wanted to write a newspaper...And we ended up spending hours writing away, thinking that we were part of something bigger. I still remember the days, we spend recess look up into the clear blue sky and dreaming away.
I know people so grounded in reality, they refuse to accept any notion of dreams, any notions of what might happen. Passion means so much more, then ability. Sure if you're good at something, but you don't have the fire in your eyes, it means nothing.
I remember when I first started running, back when I was a sixth grader. It was the first day of cross country, and our coach sent us to run on the cross country course. Those twenty minutes were probably the most misreable moments of my life. The day after, some people just decided not to come back, that it wasn't worth it. I ended up running and running and running...and I'm still running today.
Nothing is impossible. In the last two hundred years, the lightbulb was evented, man put a person on the moon, people can call each other from the four corners of the earth. There is no end to passion, to curiosity, to human ingenuity. We are what we make ourselves. It dosen't matter what someone tells you is going to happen, it matters what you believe is going to happen. Only then can life move on, can we all dream big.

Who we are
"The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact."
-A Midsummer Night's Dream
Over the course of my life, I have heard a great deal of stereotypes, a great deal of assumptions. Is the society we live in, too stereotypical?
Some people are constantly frustrated by the way our world labels people. I say, the world will keep on labeling you, as long as you label the world. I've met so many remarkable people who break the stereotypes of yesteryear, they do not conform to what "they're supposed to be."
Can the runner dance? Can the A+ student play football? Can the singer achieve their goals? Yes they can. Stereotypes are created to be broken. None of us conform completely to a stereotype; we are all unique in a very own way. This is what humanity is about.
We need to celebrate diversity, not uniformity. If we were all the same, then humanity would not be as rich and dynamic as it is today. Who are we? We are what we choose to be.
