What you do Defines who you are

Friends have called me “because they are fed up” and I never understood it. I’m not sure how it is possible to be bored, life itself presents infinite challenges and mysteries, but the only finite amount of time to explore them. That’s why having a focus is vital; we’re all only given X amount of time to complete what we set forth, and you definitely cannot do everything. People who spend their free time occupied in a passion are happier, more creative and more dynamic in their personality than those who merely spend their time as consumers of vapid entertainment pop-culture. Getting sucked into that is a waste of life and (in my opinion) leaves smart people discontented. It’s essentially fast food for your brain; small amounts once in awhile are fine, but I can’t understand how people live off of it. Do you come home from work and simply fall down in front of the TV where you spend your time until you sleep? If the answer is yes, perhaps you should consider living life yourself instead of by proxy. You’re going to wake up one day regretting how you spent your limited time in existence. A human lifespan is but a cosmic blink when you consider the age of the Earth, our galaxy, and the universe. It’s precious, it’s rare and it is happening right now. To waste it is to give up the ultimate gift. I feel like most of you reading here understand this, and if you do this post was not for you. It’s for everyone who is living life by proxy and for those of you who haven’t yet found a passion and embraced your true, creative self. It is not too late, you can do it. Start today.
