Who you surround yourself with, and where you spend most of your time with matters. If a person has a goal, they have to consider whether their habits and actions are leading them towards that goal. Are you in the company of those who are determined and steadfast in making their lives better in the quest of a distant dream? Are you listening to positive and mood lifting conversations full of opportunity and brainstorming with new ideas? Or are you surrounded by tales of defeat and heartache. What is the environment you choose to immerse yourself in? Does it feed your creativity?

A skilled mindset needs to be placed in an environment brimming with success. To never give up, or lose hope in the company of the “doomed”. The lost souls who have accepted their fate without thirsting for more. Those with dead eyes and weak smiles, just going through the motions of living, but not really knowing what that is. They hangout at the local dump waiting to die. The empty zombies that were once full of fire and hope. Who carelessly latched on to a comfortable life with no surprise. They attach themselves to their mundane schedules and happy hours. Sleeping their life away in a drunken slumber, as a reward for their work day. Giving their lives to corporate suits and cashing their paycheck at the local watering hole to drink it away every week.

I look on with sadness. For they too once had a dream. Before they gave in to pleasures of the flesh and the joy of instant satisfaction. Who then befriended others who saw to it that they had them on their time clock of destruction. Happy that they were not alone in their despair. So happy that they gave it a name. “Happy Hour” is not happy. In fact it is painful to watch with sober eyes. How they gather in numbers to feel safe in their poor decisions. They are patted on the back for drinking themselves into a paralyzed state. Unable to dream. Unable to plan. Unable to remember.

Your worth is more valuable than anything else existing on this earth. Without it, you accomplish nothing. Nothing that matters. Nothing that will outlast your existence on this earth. What are you going to be remembered for one day? I hope it is more than how much you could drink in one day.

Life is precious. Life should be remembered. It is your gift that you are able to give back to the world. Stop giving it to those who have already started filling their own graves up with dirt. I am in love with those who suffer in order to better themselves. Be that person. The world is waiting for you.
