We Aren’t So Different

"Only you can define who you are and what you can do. You just need to prove it to yourself for the world to see."

I have come to realise that teenagers today have this bizarre understanding that since we are older we don’t know what it feels like to be them, or in their situation, or that life isn't hard for us and that we somehow have the perfect and easiest life out there. Not only does this annoy me but it also frustrates me. Youth of today, we aren't so different from you. Not just when we were you’re age but also now. You see we also live in the same world and the same society as you. Oh yea and by the way, we are human too! So all those emotions and feelings you have sprouting and overflowing within you, we have them too. The only real difference is we have learnt to control, fuel, understand and direct these different things in our lives. However some of these and usually more present than you know and we struggle with them and we are always fighting to change them or at least wanting to.

I have recently re encountered some deep, deep emotions which I thought I had removed. However it turns out these bad boys were actually just suppressed down and hidden away. Doing this has helped at some level, but in reality nothing has changed and they are back now worse than ever. What has changed is my own passion, my own drive to take on round two of these emotions and finally overcome them. This will take time, but I have started and one day is a stepping stone to another day of success. Give it some time and I will have passed the stepping stones and be overcoming mountains at a time. The only way to really do this is to actually do it.

Like seriously, you need to get up and start to do what you want to do. If you want to lose weight, then start a routine that suits your comfort level first… then increase it. Slowly add to it and build it up so that weekly or regularly you’re achieving your goals and feeling accomplished. Don’t make it too easy but add some challenge to it. This is the same for a diet or a new habit.

If you’re sick of the world telling you who you are or what you can do. It’s time to change. You can fight them or you can prove to them who you really are or what you can do by proving it to yourself. By doing this not only do you show the world who is boss. But you accomplish something greater than anything before. You have accomplished yourself. You will overcome the fear of what you thought you were and rediscover through a metamorphic experience your true self.

Only if you want it can you do it.

It may take some time but each day is progress and without pain there shall be no gain.
