Open your eyes

(Forgive me if my writing sucks...I've been writing all day.)

Open up your eyes.

Life is not static. Things will not always be the way you plan it to be. How do you get ahead then? It's like in basketball. A team will run a play once or twice and it will work. The third time, the defense is waiting. They know what you are going to do. What are YOU going to do? How are YOU going to reach your goal? Are you just going to do what you did before? Of course not. That's disaster. The defense will steal the ball from you! So what do you do? You improvise. You adapt. Look at your surroundings, your environment and you make the best possible decision at that time. So next time life gives you lemons, try not making lemonade with it, try squirting the lemon juice in the eyes of the person that gave it to you. (WHAT??? I SHOULD STOP WRITING)

Open up your eyes.

Have you ever known someone who was going out with another person and thought to yourself "Wow...s/he could have done so much better." THEN, have you ever thought "Wow...I'd treat him/her so much better." AND THEN, when you finally have the courage to let your feelings be known, you get the "You are just a friend." line? I'm sorry, but since were friends not allowed to develop into relationships? Chandler and Monica turned out ok didn't they? People need to OPEN THEIR EYES and stop being so close minded. What if the man/woman of your dreams were right in front of you but you won't give them a chance since they are the nice guy or the nice girl?

Open up your eyes.

Things happen for a reason. Even the bad things. They are there to test and broaden your boundaries. If everybody had a life without misfortune, we'd be carefree and comfortable, yet life would be kind of boring wouldn't you think? Our failures and the rough patches in our lives will make us grow stronger. There is no point in dwelling from our mistakes because we cannot change what happened. What we should do is not to look back with regret but to look back and learn from what we did wrong because it is failure that teaches us success.
