Halfway

Life is only partly fully. We can only partly be. We can only partly exist. What I'm saying is we aren't messiahs. Nobody is assured entrance into the college of their dreams, no matter how special they are. No one is going to know how to lead their lives. No musician is always going to hit number 1. That's life.

If we worry so much about being one thing or holding someone reputation, we get caught up in the idea and dream instead of taking reality and finding joy in the moment. We can't wait for life to come at us, we have to go forth and live. Not everything will be in our grasps and we cannot become greedy, but when we live with a conscience and live with a purpose we can live with meaning. But always realize that we are always only halfway. We can never reach the true end and we have past the beginning by far. We are born with flaws and we will die unaccomplished. But we are also born with talent and we will die with pride. But in between there are no absolutes.

Touch the air. Smell the brilliance. Taste the mountains. Look at your soul. Hear your heart.
