Something I read once... -- Life isn't going to go the way you want all by itself. Life isn't going to get a whole lot better if you sit around doing nothing to change it. Life isn't going to be full of amazing miracles and miraculous improvements. Life is going to fuck you in the end in some way or another. Life is going to get worse. Life is going to disappoint you. Why is it that no one realizes things aren’t perfect? Things don't get better on their own. Things don't go the way you expected them to and they never will. If I walked up to you right now and offered you a chance at pure happiness for the rest of your life, would you take it? Think about it before you give me an answer. What is pure happiness? Would it equal no more pain? No more suffering? No more wondering how tomorrow is going to be, because you would already know? With pure happiness what would you fight for? What would you dream of? What would you be living for if you knew that everything will go perfectly? What lessons will you have learned? If happiness was handed out on a silver platter and you accepted it, you would be giving up. There's no survival rate for those who know what tomorrow brings. People need to realize life may not go the way you want it to, but that's what makes it exciting. Being able to go out and do something with your life, work hard for what you get, work hard to make yourself as happy as possible and then be able to say " I DID IT".... "I FUCKING SURVIVED". You live to wake up in the mornings not knowing how your day is going to go, but hoping and praying that it is better than the day before. You know how that song goes, “Step by Step...Day by day"? Make that your personal theme song. Don’t focus on tomorrow, worry about today. Do you know when you are going to die? NO. So your life can end at anytime, and if you don't start to change things now, who says you will have a chance to later? Life isn't perfect. Why would you want it to be? Think about it.
