Re: Leap, Fly, and Learn

This is so amazing. I'm saving the link to this to remind me of why I'm really here. I think there have been many times when I could have used a reminder like this. I have thought about some of those things before, but there is no way I could have put it into words as fluently as you have.

I have thought about impacting society on a worldwide level, but I haven't really thought about how. There are so many ways, and this really made me remember that it isn't good to be so focused on the mundane things in everyday life, that you forget all of the other issues affecting those around the globe. I hope this inspires more to sit back and reevaluate everything on a larger scale. It's kind of astonishing, what you may discover that you haven't really considered. I know it is for me. I just wish that more people, especially Americans would read this, or similar things, and open their eyes, and see that we take so much for granted, when we could be using all that we have to improve the world as a whole.

I really liked this post.
And don't worry: I plan on taking your advice and leave my imagination and creativity with absolutely no boundaries whatsoever (unless it's utterly ridiculous, and obviously impossible, but that's beside the point). That's the only way to make things seem more possible and it usually works. It really improves the overall outlook on everything. These are the kinds of things that motivate me and hopefully the rest of my generation to change and shape the world for the better.
