Life is a Beach, I am Just Playing in the Sand

I have realized in life that most people don't become what they want to be and sometimes they give up their dreams for the things they want now. I always wonder why because they seem to be having a great time, but who really knows because there will be a time when all of that goes away, a time when we gave up our passions for the quick easy and way out of life. I have learned there is no easy way out. If you want something, you have to go and do it because thinking and wishing won't get you anywhere. I often wonder why people quit or settle now because it is not worth it. I have settled many times in life, I have not gone for the dream. I have finished college and other things, but I am still not where I want to be. I see people that I know go for jobs that in the end are just a rut and will really never help you get you to where you want to be. A lot of people tell me I am dumb and that I am going to have to give up my dreams because either I suck or the economy is bad. There are times when it gets to me, but then I think of the people that have worked hard and got to where they wanted to and no thing or economic crisis got in their way. That is why it is funny to me because there really is nothing stopping us in this life. Crap will happen, but it the end it comes down to you and you have to decide if it is worth it or not. Most of the time people don't believe in them and I have learned from college that anything is possible. I never believed that I would finish, I was scared the first day and every year was something scary, but in the end I finished and I realized that I can and most of the time it was me who was preventing me from reaching my full potential. I am finished, but I still have to move and people say things and do things to you that make you mad. I have learned we just have to let it go and that most of the times when people say things it is the truth and you can use that for motivation. I have learned you can do anything in life. Nothing is too hard and the main thing is you have to be confident in you and after you get that, you can reach your potential.
