Chase Your Dreams

Have you ever just had one of "those days"? You know, the kind where you wake up and realize that life, for some reason, just hasn't really been going the way you thought it would. I recently had that happen to me and I still can't quite put my finger on what causes that feeling. I'm leaning towards the idea that maybe it has something to do with growing older. The new experiences that life brings do seem to effect the path our life takes. Even the smallest of things create ripples in our lives that spead constantly outward. Something as harmless as a simple comment from someone you've never even met before... it changes you. I was talking with one of my friends the other day and they said something that really hit the nail on the head. They told me that, okay now I'm paraphrasing here because I don't remember their exact words, anyway they said, "where does life go if it's going nowhere at all?" It was such a simple statement and yet so profound. This seems to be so many of us... always struggling and yet still going nowhere. So I sat down last night and started thinking, I mean really thinking, about what I could or even should do about it. I came to the realization that, for most of us, we think that being safe is the best option. But how safe is safe really... are we really playing it safe by finding a secure stable job while we're young... or are we simply buying into society's illusion that a safe secure job is the only answer. If we're being honest with ourselves I think the majority of us would say it's more of the latter than the former. So now, at least we understand why we aren't going anywhere in life by playing it safe. I suppose, for most people, it is a risk to start a business or invest in stocks and mutual funds... but is it really anymore risky than living paycheck to paycheck, never knowing if you'll be able to retire? Is the fact that you might fail... once, twice, three times, or more... really anymore scary than playing it safe and going nowhere in life? Personally I don't think it is... A man unwilling to take risks is doomed never to learn, never to grow, never to live. I think we as a culture have moved away from the ideals that we founded this country on. The right to pursue happiness wasn't talking about sitting in front of the television all day watching other people chase their dreams... It was talking about everyone in this country. We all have the ability to be something and someone great. Nobody ever said being great and acheiving happiness was easy... if it was, there wouldn't be so many people playing it safe. My basic opinion is that, while you still have a breath in your body, you should chase your dreams... never let anyone convince you to give up. Misery loves company... if you give up you'll just be joining all those miserable people going nowhere in life. Most of them won't even be real enough with themselves to admit that they are miserable. The majority of happiness is found in the journey to reach for your goals regardless of the obstacles in your way. Even if you never make it... at least you'll be among the few who can hold their heads up high and say, "I gave it my all... I never gave up and, even though I didn't necessarily win, I tried... which is more than most can say." I plan on being one of those few... Do you?
This is one of the most ridiculous postings I've ever seen. You can't blanket statement and expect it to be true for everyone... I'm going to go through this one by one and point out all the statements that can't be applied to all guys... just so you don't get confused most of the original list doesn't apply to me. >60 Things Most Girls Don't Know >Body: 60 Things Most Girls Don't Know >[a guy wrote this]? Supposedly a guy wrote this... he must of been the dumbest guy I've ever heard of. >[?]Guys hate sluts even though they have sex with them! (oh yeah..you're not "popular" if you've slept with more than 5 guys..you're a HOE) Why does everyone assume all guys have sex with sluts? I mean... I for one have never and will never do that. It's dissgusting if you ask me. >[?]"Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone. Bullshit, just because I ask a question doesn't mean I'd stammer... for all you know I could seriously need to know the information. Maybe I need you to do me a favor? Ever think of that... >[?]Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about. If the guy is flirting with every girl he meets then he obviously doesn't respect his girl the way he should. So what if you are his last thought... god damnit!! you should be his first and only thought... am I not right? >[?]Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes. And you would know all guys do this how...? As far as I know I, for one, never plan a phone call. I just call and explain why I'm calling like any normal person would. >[?]Guys go crazy over a girl's smile. In some cases maybe... personally I like the smiles and stuff but I'd rather hear the voice and no I don't go crazy... I enjoy the smile, but why go crazy, then she'll think you are crazy. >[?]Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him. Only if he's desperate, otherwise... maybe he will maybe he won't. Either way it's not an every guy or every time thing. >[?]Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're going for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method. Frankly, as long as you don't mind what I say about my ex-fiance then I don't care if you talk about your ex-boyfriends. >[?]A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to. Damn, this one almost made me spew my drink. Most of us really don't care if you talk to other guys... just so long as talking is all it is and you don't harass us for talking to our female friends. >[?]Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved. Only if they're emotionally insecure... in otherwords, "clingy". Not exactly the type of guy most girls want anyway. >[?]Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend. Again, "WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT." Hopefully you heard it this time. >[?]Guys get jealous easily. Why the blanket statement... how about "you" get jealous easily? The rest of us will make up our own minds thank you. >[?]Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think. Some are, some aren't... enough with the damn blanket statements. >[?]Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out. Only if he's an idiot... the rest of us just say "oh, an incomplete thought... no big deal." >[?]Guys are good flatterers when courting but they stammer when they talk to a girl they really like. Some do, some don't... I personally don't. This proves your statment to be erroneous. >[?]Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway. Or they..., GET A FUCKING JOB LAME'O!! >[?]Girls are guys' weaknesses. Some guys, again, not all of us are the same... >[?]Guys are very open about themselves. Uh..., since when? >[?]It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long. Or you could just discretely ask his friend how he acts and lives. You can do this yourself or have one of your friends do it for you. Don't waste time testing him, 'cause I have yet to see a guy who can't lie convincingly when it suits him to do so. >[?]Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend. Exactly why there were problems to begin with, unless I miss my bet. >[?]If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice. But feel free to do so if you want... just don't expect that because you said to do it that means they will. >[?]A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you. Or says it in words... Teasing is always a part of life, and it's not a good way to tell someone you like them... >[?]Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships. How the hell do you say who loves who more... can you read womens minds now too? >[?]Guys will brag about anything. Or just speak the truth... Just because you say you can do something doesn't mean you're bragging... sometimes it's just stating the facts. >[?]Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you a whole hell of a lot. Or he really thinks thats the best description... Unfortunately not many girls seem to get the hint, even when the guy does say it 'cause they like them. >[?]Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant. Or he analyzes the action and immediately knows why it was done... not all guys are stupid, ya know. >[?]Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused. Depends on the guy... yet again you make a blanket statement and assume its true for everyone. Some guys are very difficult to confuse... take me for example. >[?]Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships. Hmmm, honestly you're wrong. It's already been done... the book is called "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", go read it moron. >[?]Try to be as straightforward as possible. And all guys do this one too I'm sure... idiot. >[?]A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up. There you go with the damn blanket again. >[?]If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl. Or... he'll forget it in the next hour, 'cause it isn't worth crying over spilt milk. >[?]Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience. I do learn from experience but that doesn't mean I can't learn from books too. Only an idiot passes up an advantage just because it might not be seen as cool. Read the damn romance books once in awhile... It will give you some new insights into the female psyche. >[?]Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped. Or they don't care who thinks what, 'cause they're secure enough in themselves to not need to judge themselves by other people's opinions. >[?]If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside. I definately think you need to check your word usage... "probably" should instead be "possibly or might be." >[?]When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that. You just love to think all guys are like you in everything don't you. Personally, I don't say I'm going crazy over a girl... I dont need to. I'd rather just tell them I like them and be done with it... their response isn't my concern. >[?]When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me." Oh really, sometimes I think you're an idiot... oh wait, you are one... I forgot. >[?]Guys don't really have final decisions. Bullshit! >[?]If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up. I talk seriously almost all the time... not every guy is as lame as you ya know. >[?]If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you. And you'd care why... if he can't get over the fact that he didn't make a move that's his problem. >[?]When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something. But not necessarily about you... >[?]Guys like femininity not feebleness. Most guys do, I, however, have met a few that don't. >[?]Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do. Depends on the guy..., everyone has their own tastes in women. >[?]A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes. Some do... but so do some girls too. What does this have to do with anything anyway? >[?]Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily. Any guy worth your time isnt going to give up just because they feel intimidated. >[?]Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much. Or don't... or be excessive..., every guy has different tastes. Some women look good with no makeup and some don't, you can't assume that what applies to one applies to all. >[?]Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys. Some do some don't but, as a whole, I think it evens out between the sexes. >[?]Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more. Not all guys... I'm sure there's at least one guy out there that couldn't care about being rejected... oh wait... I forgot myself. >[?]Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them. Personally, I don't find them all that confusing. They're just different... you can learn to appreciate the differences or you can choose to be confused... not my problem. >[?]No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it. (cough) "bullshit!" (cough) >[?]Not all guys are assholes. Just because ONE is a jackass doesnt mean he represents ALL of us. This is so far the only statement you've made that is actually true in it's entirety. >[?]We don't like girls who are too skinny. Some do, some don't... obviously you don't. >[?]Always make sure you know what kind of stuff your getting into before making out with a guy ...like whether it's a one time deal or not .... If it is just a one time deal... WHY ARE YOU WASTING YOUR TIME!? >[?]Believe it or not shy guys are the most easiest to talk to..it may not seem right but trust me they will start opening up like books after you just ask them questions about their lives and unintentionally tell them about yours... This is still a blanket statement that can't be applied to everyone. >[?]Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs.. Bullshit... not all guy are ticklish just like not all girls are. You are by far the most idiotic person I've seen write. >[?]Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it ..it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts... Yet again, depends on the guy. >[?]Guys will test the waters to see how far they can get with you. Even if he doesn't intend to it will happen. Know how far it is you want to let him go and he will respect that...after you let him know a couple times. You should only have to tell him once... if he can't accept that then he is mentally retarded and should be dropped like a bad habit. >[?]When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible. He's an idiot as well for weakening himself for something that may or may not happen. I wouldn't give him the time of day... I'd rather be well rested and healthy... if women can't accept that, then I don't need a woman. Last section about reposting deleted because I don't give a damn if this gets reposted or not.
