Living the Bucket List

I feel like I was a bird flying high dropping tears like rain over the earth. I witnessed sad tale above sad tale of women abused, the religious forming dischord, and the diverse peoples of the world fighting over money. As a child the news was never my primary choice scene to marvel. However now I have realized I have changed. I have changed and my life has changed. My environment changes and I am forced to change with it at speeds I am not comfortable. I break in the strong winds of change and learn that if desired I can lessen the impacts of the winds of change or exacerbate the situation. It's a learning process by which failure is the vehicle.
Soaring over the world taking a sample via CNN I see the pain others in worse positions go through to acheive their living. While I am fully equipped with a living, I still manage to put myself in a hell of suffering on par with those who truly suffer. I constantly beat myself emotionally falling short to realize the true beauties of my existence and environment. These abused women finding work have nothing and do not know any better. Children sold into slavery do not know any better and suffer so much more than I have, yet they know who they are. Even they have vision, so why not me?
Vision is something I struggle with. A healthy non-idealistic sense of vision is a trait I wish to have and learn to cultivate. I've wasted away enough of my life trying to jump out of my skin and into others. It's time to wrap myself tight and see where I end up.
I may not be like the people on the news--those on the Next Line. But I am an individual with individual dreams and will power. Will power is something I am discovering. Innovators inspire me because despite the odds against them they still plow on and maintain that determination and vision creating something beautiful. They realize their potential and take the risks to make it possible. Maintain the course in the midst of uncertainty. I admire that in others and hope someday very soon to see this play in my life as well.
What I'm getting at is seizing opportunity. Living an enriched life. Feeling spiritual again and therefore knowing myself.
Be the shark. Keep moving or you'll die. And yes, you will die from the inside out and be left wondering what happened to the world, but really it's all you. Live today like your last day. Live to be inspired. Live. Laugh. and Love
