A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE

Everyone is an unfinished story. Everyone has something left to learn, even the experts.

People change. Ideals change. And advice will change through the years.

I didn’t try to disparage nor insult his beliefs. I didn’t try to impose my opinion on him. I simply listened to his perspective.

Everyone in some form or fashion needs moments when they simply need to put their head down and get to work.

No system is the end all be all. No system can cure every single ill that exists in this world.

We are all just a bunch of imperfect individuals trying to put on our best face to make it in this world.

The ideal is there and continues to be something admirable to strive for. But like everything, just take it with a grain of salt.

A healthy form of pessimism can lead to greater innovations and economic opportunities for society.

Live the way you want to live. Believe what you want to believe. At the end of the day, your life is your responsibility.

Not everyone will feel their best 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There will be bumps and bruises throughout life.

Everyone should be given the opportunity to reacclimate and adapt appropriately to society.

Just throw darts at the proverbial dartboard and see what sticks. See what you’re good at. See what moves you.

Most people are not privileged enough to pursue purpose in their everyday jobs.

We are bred to believe that we need to take big risks at every turn. And how that is the only way to make a name for ourselves.

As far as we’ve come now that we are in the 21st century, there are still more improvements that need to happen. Slowly but surely.

Even the slightest common denominator can help us connect with our fellow man in a different light.

Is this really truly what I’ve been looking for all my life? Or is there more?

Time will continue rolling forth. And it is up to us to enjoy this brief life that we’ve been given.

It feels like the higher up you climb up the ladder of success, the more stakeholders you need to take into account.

It is a sobering reminder that money is important, but it is not the end all be all towards living a life of fulfillment and joy.
