Rally Your Hope

Growing up is not all it is cracked up to be. Life is hard; being a kid is easy. When you are young the world is your oyster. A child has the potential to be literally anything. I mean, they are able to achieve even the most difficult of goals. However, as we live we lose our potential. The sand in our hourglass slips through open fingers as we permit our lives to run out. The longer we live the harder it is to attain the greatness we once sought, just due to the daily decisions every person makes. We close our own doors through inaction. The perfect time to begin will never arrive. Therefore it is imperative that we make our own perfect time. No longer can we give up dreams to death for idleness. It is murder. Apathy is reckless endangerment of our lives; it kills all we care for. How can we stand by as death creeps up on our hope? We tell our children to shoot for the stars, to dream big because the sky is the limit, and yet we slide through life heedless of our own advice. Stop! Quite wasting your potential! Open your eyes, you blind man, and see! There is nothing restraining you but yourself and your own fear, hate, discomfort, apprehension, loathing, distress, anxiety, laziness, apathy. Awake, sleeper! Dream, dreamer! Truly live, rather than waiting. What are you waiting for? An invitation? "Stop asking if you can achieve greatness and take it." Have you realized what I have yet? We must cease delaying and realize our dreams: seize our hopes. Build wings for flight if you must, but for the sake of heaven above and the earth as we live on it take action. Do not return to your procrastination after reading this. Do not simply be roused to inaction. Do not open the door to apathy. Rally your hope.
