What can I do with this?
I’ve really come to realize that life is really what you make it. I think that success and failure can only be defined by oneself alone. It’s not about what others say or tell you, but what you believe it is. And to me, it’s not even what success really means, but what one perceives it to be.

Just because you don’t do or accomplish the same things as others or simply one other person doesn’t necessarily make you any less than them.

For those who already have so much, that’s great, I hope they do something really great with it, but for those who have so much less, most people think they can’t be anything and do anything whether it’s big and important because they see they have nothing.

I hope I don’t sound like I’m preaching; I hate when people do that to me. This is just something I’m thinking about and feeling right now.

I see that it’s not about what you don’t have, but what you do with what you’ve got (I know it’s been said already, but seriously…). What you can do, what great things you’re able to do.

And those that think they amount to nothing because they don’t have what others have and may never get it, I think people who are like that shouldn’t feel that way.

I guess it’s when one loses or nearly loses something that they finally realize what they’ve had all along in the first place.

Again, this is something I’ve been thinking about lately.
