When you are a kid, you tell the adults that you want to be an
astronaut.
They laugh at you.
When you are a kid, you gleefully proclaim you are going to change
the world.
They laugh at you.
When you are a kid, you do mad things, say mad things; say what's
on your mind.
They laugh at you,
When you are a kid, you get rejected for having unique
thoughts.
They laugh at you.
When you are a kid, you know you are here to achieve something
special.
They laugh at you.
The cynical pack around you wants you to become cynical too. They
don't like your optimism. They are threatened by your ideals. They accepted a
long time ago that changing the world is not for them. They want you to be like
them - to conform... to be in a comfort zone... to concede to mediocrity.
As we grow up, we unknowingly become conditioned to be like those
around us. To be cynical. To enjoy comfort zones. To lose that conviction that
beamed through our eyes. We lose that conviction that made us
intoxicating.
Now is the time. We have to fight back...
Regain your ideals. Reinvigorate your conviction that you are here
to make an impact,
Step out of your comfort zone. Get rejected. Feel alive.
