in elementary school we had dreams of things we would do when we were just a older than we were. in middle school and junior high we thought our old dreams uncool, so we came up with new things we were going to do in high school. in high school, we were always too busy to do what our dreams wanted. we always had grand ideas for the summer between high school and college, the last hurrah of childhood, but sadly for most of us, these never amounted to what we thought. somewhere in this area we stop dreaming, for whatever reason. we stop listening to the kids in us telling us to accomplish our dreams. somewhere here we let the child in us die. we spend more time listening to what people think of us, and let them dictate to us how we should lead our lives. around this time we begin our decent. we begin to stop caring, to stop dreaming, to stop loving and stop learning. life's far too short for us to put off our dreams, because we could be gone the next morning, leaving our list of dreams still folded up in our cold wallets. so use what time you have to do what you can. live harder, fuck harder, kiss harder, love harder, learn harder, run harder, play harder, eat harder, sleep harder, hit harder, pray harder. because what's life if you aren't living it? i challenge you to make a list of things that you want to do, and do them. it doesn't matter if they are lame to some and awesome to others, they are yours, your thoughts, so go and do them. climb everest, run with the bulls, fuck a celebrity (charm not drugs, of course). i swear that every day you spend living your dreams will be the moments you carry with you for the rest of your days, the moments that cary you through the bad moments and push you to achieve more and live more. i promise you that i will spend every day of my life, bettering myself, and living every single day. dreams and goals: run with the bulls at san fermin summit denali see the snows of kilimanjaro spend a winter on isle royale travel across the united states on a motorcycle backpack across europe cycle to the arctic ocean in alaska see the spires of moscow see the birthplaces of civilization in the middle east travel the kashmir run through the tunnel onto notre dame field graduate from medical school this is an incomplete list. but i will accomplish these. eric |
