There’s a lot you’re wrong about.

A lot you don’t fully understand yet,
And that’s ok.
What matters more than being right,
Is your willingness to learn.
Work every day
To develop an open mind.
Those with narrowed thinking
Will only ever experience 
Within the tunnel they’ve enclosed
Themselves.
Those open to change 
And difference
Will experience life.
——
And if life begins to feel stagnant,
Look around.
Appreciate the now that you are in.
Give yourself a break.
In the end,
Your life will not be defined by
The days spent
Working
Or the days spent
Worrying.
You will find yourself reminiscing
On instances that gave meaning
To your life.
So collect these moments.
The memories etched into your mind.
The nights you knew exactly
What it felt like to be
Alive.
——
The meaning of life is
The meaning you create for yourself.
So spend your time with
The people who mean well and
Do the things that mean the most.
——
Remember you are young,
And age gracefully.
All the kids want to be adults
Until they become adults.
So remember to be the kid you are.
Don’t overload yourself,
You know as much as you need.
And you are still growing.
You are still learning.
Take the time to be youthful.
The world will try to make you feel
Old,
As if you are running out of
Time.
But remember
The world doesn’t die when you do.
It was here before you came
And it will be here after you leave.
So take full advantage of the time
You have
While you are
Here.
——
You are not ahead of or behind
Anyone.
You are exactly where you need to
Be.
Observe others on their paths.
Watch them grow.
Cheer for them.
But do not compare yourself.
A life lived in comparison
Is a life half-lived.
So live entirely.
And if there’s a heaven,
Give them a show.
Let them find themselves enamored
By the path
You’ve chosen to follow.
