It’s Up to You
Consider… YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a 1)gazillion…
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!!!
You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
生命掌握在你的手里--超越卓越的你
試想一下……你！一個(gè)空前絕后的你，不論是以往還是將來都不會(huì)有一個(gè)跟你一模一樣的人。你在歷史上和宇宙中都是獨(dú)一無二的。哇！想想吧，你是萬里挑一、億里挑一、兆里挑一的。
在無窮無盡的宇宙中，你是舉世無雙的?。?！
你是了不起的！你是卓越的！沒錯(cuò)，就是你。你已經(jīng)是了不起的，是卓越的，你還可以更卓越更了不起。美麗的年輕人是大自然的奇想，而美麗的老人卻是藝術(shù)的杰作。但你不會(huì)因?yàn)槟挲g的漸長(zhǎng)就自然而然地變得“美麗”。
真正的美麗源于生命里的學(xué)習(xí)、成長(zhǎng)和熱愛。這就是生命的藝術(shù)。你可以只聽天由命, 慢慢地學(xué)，有時(shí)候或許會(huì)很痛苦。又或許你可以選擇加速自己的成長(zhǎng)，故意地?fù)]霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描繪自己未來的藝術(shù)家。畫出一幅杰作吧！
上帝給了鳥兒食物，但他沒有將食物扔到它們的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做決定的還是你自己。
