A word to those who struggle

To all those who wish to change the state of their lives, NOW is the time to start. All those who hold a dream, a grander vision of yourself, know that you are never alone. Life is far too short to sit idly by and simply wish for your life to fall into place. Your time is limited, so why live it trying to recreate a path someone else made? Don't be compliant with dogma, living within the results of another's way of thinking. Do not let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want. Everything else is secondary. Do not spend so much time trying to find the perfect opportunity, that you miss the right opportunity. Recognize that there will be failures and hurdles to overcome. Learn from your mistakes and from the mistakes of others, for there is little to learn from success. Pursue your passions, listen to your heart, and create your journey of a brighter future with those who you see as you do. Create what you must, and embark on it right away. Don't fall into the trap of analysis and paralysis, because otherwise you'll only forge a life of regret. Then, as you start your journey, the first thing you should do is throw away that store-bought map and begin to draw your own. None can craft the path to your love but you. Through the chorus of naysayers, we can, and we will emerge atop the world with the vary vision of love we hold within our hearts, and it will be evermore strengthened by the obstacles we have overcome to achieve them. Remember that in the end, through all the conflicting and paraxial advice you may receive as you make your way, the final decision as to what works or what does not work, is ultimately left up to you. At the end of the day, as long as you keep striving for your ideal, and learn every step of the way, you will never veer into the wrong track.
