"You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don’t.
Because, sometimes, you won’t.
Because, sometimes, you won’t.
I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you." -Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
Life becomes easier, when you realize its not quite easy at all. Yeah, sometimes its easy. Sometimes you don't even have to try, and everything just seems to be, well...handed to you.
...but more often than that, you get let down and everything just sucks. You make a mistake, and the damage is irreversible. It is so easy to just want to give up and say, "my life sucks," and have a bad attitude from here on out.
But life goes on. It can't rain forever, but while it's raining, you might as well dance in it. You might as well smile at those who can't forgive you, you might as well love even when you don't feel loved.
This is the outlook I desire: To recognize that life is difficult at times, but to not ever give up hope. To see the bright side of every situation, and to know that happiness is attainable but nothing is perfect, and that sadness is a part of life.
Life is hard, and sometimes we fail. Sometimes we lose the ones we love. But life can be great, and thats what keeps me persevering.... knowing the happy times are not too far away.
"Kid, you’ll move mountains!
So…be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ale Van Allen O’Shea, you’re off to Great Places!Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way!"
