Yo dogs you gotta' check out zenpencils.com because it is so... inspirational. It turns any one of my bad days into a day closer to success. I dunno', I just feel all pumped about life after reading the zen pencils comics.
What has been up with life? Nothing. I thought pikmin541 and I weren't friends anymore, but we settled it. I guess I am still kind of mad at her, though. She "mommas" people, and that makes others feel like they are incompetent. But she just worries about us, and wants to help in any way she can. And I have got to live my own life without excessively worrying about what other people want, think and feel. (I have to stop using the Oxford comma now that I'm going to college. I don't think the professors would appreciate me using it.) We fought for a few days, and I talked with my counselor about it and I calmed down, and I realized it's because I feel like I am responsible for everything that happens in the world. "I could have done something to change this outcome," or, "I could be doing this to make things better." That's how I think most of the time. That I am always inadequate. But that's not true.
Life calls for constant change, and so we must constantly change as well. It doesn't mean that what we were yesterday was bad. It was just different. And different isn't bad, as most of you on here know. But what happens if we do not change? If we stay the same? In some cases, like if our body does not sweat in the heat, we will die. But in some areas we cannot change. Just because we are not smart, or strong or creative enough does not mean we will die in today's age. We cannot change our weaknesses. We must focus on our strengths. It takes all kinds, doesn't it? You don't have to be creative: you can be a great public speaker. You don't have to be smart: you can succeed at helping others. You don't have to be strong: you can care.
There are a million other things to do in life besides become famous. Your options are not only: write a novel; become a singer; become a movie star; have the perfect life. A man once said that we are not afraid of our limits, but our endless possibilities. We shouldn't just limit ourselves to one field, especially if that field is not our strength. While being successful in a field you are weak in might provide comfort, it will not provide fulfillment. Maybe not even happiness.
