As Many Stars There Are In The Sky

Just like the amount of stars in the sky, there are that many opportunities for you to shine.

As Many Stars There Are In The Sky
Futurism

For all of you who think that you can't become someone or that you can't do anything, I just want to tell you, that you're wrong. You are absolutely, positively, one hundred percent, wrong. dead wrong even if you prefer that saying. Every single one of us was put here to do something with our lives, to be someone we would be proud to be at the end of the day. We weren't supposed to just be born and then that's it, nothing really more to do. No, you were placed on this Earth to become someone, so stop thinking that you're worthless and find what you are good at.

Stop moping around, trying to get others to feel sorry for you and see what you can bribe away from them and get good at something and do that. There are so many people in this world who just munch off of other people and it's annoying. It really is because you were meant to do something yourself. All of us have something special about us and most of us are just content with riding on other people's success. You can have your own success if you work for it and actually do something about it. And I know that that may be hard for some, to actually work for something, but it's better than always being known as the person who leeches off of other people.

I can go on and on and on about how you need to find the inner potential in yourself and actually do something that you enjoy and stop believing everything will work out even though you have never done anything to benefit yourself but I'm afraid I'd start to sound like a hippie (the inner potential part) or my grandpa (the do something with your life part) so I'm going to stop. But, really, it isn't hard to actually put your mind to something and do it. It's so simple and you'll enjoy it so much more than just hanging onto to other people's lives and siphoning off their success. To be able to do something, get credit for and recognition...isn't that worth more than just barely scraping by?

You have a reason to shine, just like the stars do at night. Given, they are millions of years dead and we're alive but that's just a technicality really. It's more of a thought, a saying to get people motivated. Anyway, you have something to give to this world, even if you don't believe you do. You just have to find what it is and work on it so that your time on this Earth wasn't spent binge watching shows on Netflix and ordering take out because you're too lazy to cook something. Because sooner or later, you'll find that you haven't been anywhere, you haven't done anything that you always wanted to. You'll be in the same spot you were when you first started believing you weren't meant to do anything important and that will be such a waste, because you could have gotten up and thought, "I am important and I can prove it." But instead, you didn't believe in yourself and you didn't do anything and it will be such a waste.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
