Just Go

Just+Go

This world is simply incredible, and from where you’re standing right now I know that may seem hard to see, but you really just need to go out and find the good things. All our life we are taught in school that the only way to succeed in life is to pass all your exams, get the highest grades, and move on to college to expand your knowledge even more. Now I’m not saying all those things aren’t important, I’m just saying don’t focus so much on those things because if you let it, it can eventually affect your mood dramatically with something such as how good or how bad of a grade you get. It all depends on what you set at the top of your list of importance an also how you see things. For me, living life by what your parents and teachers say just isn’t good enough, everyone is capable of so much and it’s sad to see how many people lose sight of that. If you want to do something just do it, there is literally nothing holding you back. Even if you try to list things off, those things can be overcome, for example: money. Money comes and goes. It doesn’t matter how much or how little you make, you have to spend it anyways. Money to me is like time, you can spend both on wasteful things that won’t make you happy, in the long-run, or you can spend it wisely on things that will essentially make you happy. I cannot express how important it is to just do things for yourself, consider just leaving your home to go travel or just do things that are out of your comfort zone while you’re still young, because this is the time that we need it most. One of the best ways to really experience life is just to say yes to more opportunities. Don’t worry about all the bad that might come along with the choices you make, just think about all the new things you’ll learn and discover. And if the good outweighs the bad anyway then what’s really stopping you? It doesn’t even have to be a crazy adventure you need to go, on I’m just saying there’s just so much more to the world than what you’re being told.
