To walk through life with your head down and hope and pray that you can just get by and continue to "make it through" just another day is a terrible way to waste a life. Yet, every day that's what many people do. Keep their head down. Pass on the opportunity to make a difference. Walk with no purpose.
I often think that I am the only person who wants to get to work in the morning. People who drive 45 in a 65, oblivious to the rest of the world and taking their sweet time to get to point A, drive me nuts. I'm not talking about grandma with her blue hair in curlers, I'm talking about the people who go through life with a permanent squint and ready to flinch at everything around them.
Life will, at some point, punch you in the baby maker. Its what you do with yourself after that moment that molds and defines your character. You may not know what to do when it happens or realize the gravity of the event till later in life. My first "baby maker punch" occurred when I was 11. It was a traumatic and life altering event that I truly believe redefined me and set me on the course to be the person I am today. I chose to allow this negative moment push me towards the light of positive. At 11 I didn't realize it, but years later It clicked.
Have you had a defining moment? Has it come and gone? If you can identify the event and realize how it molded you-good. If It took you on a path of life that causes you to keep your head down, drive like an old woman and walk without purpose; you still have time to right the ship. You need to be honest with yourself and realize you have it in you to change. It might take some work and you will definitely get punched in the baby maker again. So what. Pick your damn head up, push your right foot on the gas and start walking with some purpose.
Pull the trigger.
