I haven't written in a while. A lot has happened over this month of silence: I finished school, my sister graduated high school, Lebron lost, I got a job, I got a girlfriend, and a 17 year old was the first pick in the major league baseball draft. I won't write about all these things but I will say that they all have a significant impact on my life right now in one way or another.
These things all mean so much to me but in a year may all be forgotten (except the girlfriend possibly). Why in life do people get so caught up in the little problems or successes that we have in life? It all works out. Life becomes about one thing: Work. We have to work for it. "It" being anything and everything. I must work to get the grades and money I need to get the opportunity to go to college where I want. I must work if i want to prepare dinner on my own. I must work to keep myself clean, and the list goes on and on trust me. So what is work for this summer?
Work is getting up early...
Work is doing something that you don't want to do...
Work is loving correctly...
Work is sport...
Work is finishing strong...
Work is showing restraint...
Work is life.
If I can learn to work I can live freely, boldly, and happily. So while so much has happened this summer already that has had an impact on me, the only impact that I will remember this summer? How I worked to try and obtain these things.
