Don't take yourself for granted. Don't take the time you walk on this Earth for granted. Don't take the legs that allow you to walk, the eyes that allow you to see, the mind that allows you to dream, or the people that allow you to love for granted. Don't take these things for granted just for the nobility of being grateful, because that shit doesn't mean anything when you're dead. Do this for yourself so that you can be confident in being truthful to your passion and your dreams. You are all amazing, wonderful, beautiful pieces of this undefinable thing we call reality. Wear this as a badge of pride, and never be apologetic about yourself. When we are raised, many of us are told that we can do anything if we set our minds to it. However, in growth, we set standards to ourselves, to other people, and find ourselves being set to standards by other people. We let this control our perceptions, and suppress this "I can do anything" mentality. We become slaves to standards and normalcy, resulting in a limiting of our potential greatness. Some of us are neglected in youth, and this unfortunately makes it harder to see this. For those who have been neglected, please know that you are not any lesser than anyone else in this world. We're all born into a broken world, regardless of how our first hand is dealt. You all have incredible potential to do incredible things with your life. Whether you're 16 or 61. There is always more to do, and the only way you can do more is if you accept that there is more to do, if you accept that you can do more, and if you reject laziness. Never stop striving, never stop learning, and never fear wanting more out of life than what you currently have.
