Most Attractive
The most attractive characteristic of a person is not their physical beauty but rather the way they enjoy life. You are drawn to them because their personality is infectious. They make you want to act silly and dance in public; because when you’re with them, the opinion of others does not matter. They make you feel self-confident and assured of who you are. You want to follow them on their journey through life because wherever they go, fun and adventure await. You admire the way they think about the world and in turn, they teach you to look at life a little differently. When you first met, the conversation was easy and your interests were aligned. Friendship was instantaneous and never forced. You never believed that such a wonderful human could exist. Yet here they are. And just when you thought you were living, now you truly are.
Mountain Climber
My goals take shape in the form of mountains. Created by my fervent imagination, they occupy an important place in my mind. I am drawn to their peaks with an irresistible gaze. Every day I think about climbing but I don’t know what is holding me back. I am convinced that if I do not pursue my goals, I will be ordained to an unfulfilled life. I feel it in my soul to be great. If I am truly committed to realizing my potential, I must cross the threshold of the mountain. So I do. Regardless of the opinions of others, I ascend with confidence. I am not afraid of failure but rather I have an immense fear of regret. As I venture into uncharted territory, I remember that my attitude will test me more than any dangerous terrain. A positive outlook and well-formed habits will serve me well. The journey is long and exhausting. I am in no rush because I understand that all steps are necessary. I keep pushing forward, never giving up. Coming off the slope, I am finally victorious at the top! I take a moment to celebrate my accomplishment. In self-reflection, I remember the courage and perseverance it took to climb and conquer. From this experience, I am a changed man. I now have the confidence to do it again. Complacency isn’t who I am, so I dedicate my life to achieving as many goals as possible. And when all is said and done, I can look back at the mountain range that is my life and be certain that I have lived with a purpose.
Take Your Shot
Successful people take more shots than anyone else. It took Thomas Edison 1000 attempts before he finally constructed the exact combination to make the lightbulb. When asked about his failures, Edison denied that he had failed at all, but instead took 1000 steps to reach his goal. From an outside(r) perspective, people like Edison seem to be an overnight success. Yet, few are ever witnesses to the countless number of attempts these individuals make on a daily basis. How many failures did they encounter before they achieved that one great success? These people are far from lucky. In fact, statistically speaking these people would be considered very unlucky. The one defining factor is that they never gave up. In a world where so many people decide to play it safe, these individuals choose to take the risk time and time again. So please consider, every day when you wake up, to take your shot. Because all you need is for one to go in!
