So I was in a car with two of my friends and one says something that makes me think about how awful us humans have become. She turns down the radio and turns around and says, "You know what's funny, how sad us as human beings are. We have the mind set to: Go to school, graduate highschool, go to a nice college and graduate, get a nice job, find our loved ones and get married, have kids, and be wealthy. That's it!"
And I contemplated on how true that statement truly was. We really limit ourselves to one thing and that's money. And it's because of US, that this is all we dream about. What about when we are wealthy, what about after that. We as society, have created this wealthy world where it's not ok to have a mansion, if you have a three bedroom house, it's ok, but you want more, am I right?
Where's the inspiration in all of this? Don't limit yourself to a few stacks of money. Sure we all want security for our future families but if we just want to be wealthy, are we really following our dreams, or are we just doing what we do for other people's happiness. Sure you want your family to be happy, but what about yourself.
I constantly worry about my happiness and how it is going to be in the future. It may seem incredibly selfish, but I don't care a bit, if I'm not happy and I'm in distress, there will be pang in my family's lives as well, it may not be at first, but I'm sure with me being glum something bad will come of it. Personally, I want to CHANGE the world. If I do end up wealthy, I want to donate to so many. I want make God proud! But I want to be happy within myself!
Do what makes you happy, don't let your dreams shred because it won't get you "Enough" money because in the end you're going to be unhappy, alone, and wealthy. Money doesn't buy everything especially genuine happiness and love. You can't have everything, so we might as well all come to accustom that all of us will not graduate and become millionaires who live in The Hills.
WE ARE SUCCESS, in our own each individual way. We are the future.
You know sometimes I think we really forget about our own values, and even more importantly I think we give up on how beautiful life and all it's aspects are. If you don't like something, CHANGE it. Inhale life, inhale it's beauty, inhale it's glory...

YOU GO DAVID! You are so right, we have the power. Failure is a self-fulfilling prophecy, so we can never let anyone tell us we can't :) We can never limit ourselves because others expect us to do just that... LOVE YOU!
