Freedom

So many of us have forgotten just how much freedom and power we have, simply by our status as human beings with free will. If you really wanted to, you could walk away from this carefully constructed life and never look back.I feel it is rather empowering to know that what we do is a direct result of what we want for ourselves. We are supposed to follow the progression- high school, college, graduate studies, career, retirement. But we absolutely should not let that progression dominate our lives.If there’s something we are passionate about, absolutely anything, I don’t think we should let the fact that we’re in high school be an excuse not to do it. Rather, let’s acknowledge that we can make the choice to dedicate more time to that, that thing that excites and energizes us and which bring us the utmost happiness, and a little less time to maintaining our perfect grades. We may even find it’s possible to do both.So let’s not wait until we are older to follow our dreams. The choice has always been ours. The only thing stopping us is ourselves.
