After long and thoughtful consideration, I have come to a rather interesting conclusion. Even though the global population is soaring into the billions, with thousands of religions, languages, philosophies, and cultures represented, ultimately, there are only two kinds of people. There are those who are certain the world is going to hell in a handbasket, and those who believe the best is yet to come... "It's the end of the world," they shout. "It's all over!" Now, what I find so confusing is that if these stone-faced folk truly believe all the scary stuff they preach, why do they choose to keep on living? Okay, I freely admit that choking yourself to death is not nearly as easy as it sounds... Luckily, thanks to modern technology, putting yourself out of your misery has never been more convenient or affordable. But of course, if life really appears that unpleasant and meaningless to you, go see an eye specialist and then take a closer look. You will find that there is always beauty and hope in even the most awful circumstances. There is always someone prepared to help those who ask. There is always someone you can count on, and there are a million special moments that can chase the shadows from your face and will cost you nothing but a few spare minutes. Furthermore, romance is not dead... Be your own cheerleader. Do something you never thought you'd ever do - live in the moment... So follow only your own road, wherever it leads you, one step at a time. Your life journey is not a race or a competition, nor is it a boring highway without exits that you must trudge along for eternity. Embrace the unpredictable and go exploring for things that inspire you. Take time out to enjoy the view... Don't waste the present worrying about the future. It will come soon enough - I promise... As you make this journey, always remember that each day is a precious gift. If you can enjoy it for what it is and make the most of it, then believe it or not, there is another extraordinary gift waiting for you. Tomorrow."
