Success: Try Hard Enough and You'll Get There

Success: Try Hard Enough and You'll Get There
What is the Real Meaning of Success

If you haven’t felt this feeling already,

I hope you do.

The feeling that you get when you suddenly realize that you

belong to a certain niche and that

You can’t do anything else but fulfill your calling in life, is absolutely

Thrilling, almost scary.

The thought of possibly not being able to do want you want to do is

Terrifying.

I am terrified of failing and not being good enough.

But if you truly want to succeed, you need to try.

Trying is the hardest part, but with a goal in mind, trying seems a little less

Stressful.

In fact, everything starts to feel like an adventure.

It is never too late to succeed or to do what you love.

There will be some fights while on your adventure.

An internal fight.

This fight involves an invisible voice with invisible hands that are constantly

Pulling you down.

But with the shield of faith, the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness,

You will be more prepared for the war.

The key to success is trying.

Try to reach the next step without falling.

Try to love yourself during times when you feel at your worst.

Try to push yourself when your legs are too tried to move.

Try hard enough, and you will eventually reach the finish line, but for some people,

it’s the starting line that they are about to reach.

Those lines are the physical forms of success.

But you’ll know you have succeeded when you have a powerful feeling of awe.

That is the feeling of success.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
