The Line defined

As if there were line to start with... I sit, lay, walk, and go about my day wondering about that line. Typically it goes by undefined and unnoticed. But sooner or later, you will end up drawing the line. It comes with maturity. And when I say line I mean something that is NOT supposed to be crossed.

Think about the most mature, put together, successful person you know. Now, take into account the vast number of lines they have drawn for themselves. Do they hold higher standards than you do? Are they happy? Do they face the same trials you do?

Appreciate what is real. Appreciate what you have and how much worse you could have had it. Acknowledge your past as a shadow of the present and shine a little light on it. Believe that what you plan on doing is well within grasp. Teach yourself how to live based on your mistakes, not your achievements. Be proud of who you are and everything you stand for regardless of how many people will hate you for it. Let the little things go. And draw lines based on what is in YOUR best interest.

I won't even get into specifics when it comes to what things to draw lines on or where to draw them for that matter. It could be applied to ANY aspect of your life. The higher the standards you hold for yourself, the better off you will be. Even the greatest warriors have to fall sometimes. Even the smartest of people spit out absurdities. And only you can draw lines for yourself. So keep your chin up, chest out, and march straight to success... with a few lines in hand.
