Because I'm crazy enough to know I can.

Today I was siting in seminary and wondering to myself if I will ever have an iPhone in my high school years......and then I was like......"I'm a sophomore, I've got time."

And then it hit me. OMGOSH I'M A SOPHOMORE! Where has the time gone?? I swear....just yesterday I was ten years old riding my bike as fast as I could all over the neighborhood......where?.....Where did that go???

(you can imagine me sitting at my desk in seminary staring at the floor while my head was freaking out....kinda like this StudioC video. Anyways)

And then it hit me again and I thought, "You know Wes, you tell yourself you're going to do all these things when you graduate from high school.....but......you say all the time now, I'll do it next week, tomorrow, later.....bleh blah blah, so....what says you're going to do them when you graduate?"

and then I just wanted to start crying at my desk.....in seminary because WHAT IF I NEVER MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE??!?!? That would be such a SAD SAD SAD thing.

But guess what.......If you have a dream, you've gotta go for it. NOW. Not later. Go for it NOW.

I've always been such a big dreamer. And I have....really....really big dreams. Which.....makes them kinda hard to achieve....but...life is hard right? And nothing is easy, and we learn from accomplishing hard things.....but.....it's still hard.....and I'm only 15.....and I can't drive....which make it even harder....

A quote.....
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to LIVE in the world that they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. 
Impossible is NOT a fact. It's and opinion.
Impossible is NOT a declaration. It's a dare.
Impossible is potential. 
Impossible is temporary. 
Impossible is NOTHING."

^^^that is my favorite quote of all time. Truth.^^^

So, nothing is impossible. Sure it may be hard. But NOTHING is impossible.

Now is the time when I obnoxiously quote quotes......ehem.

"Don't settle: Don't finish crappy books. If you don't like the menu, leave the restaurant.

Hinckley "If it's meant to be, it will be" "Do it today or regret it tomorrow." "Every pro was once an amateur. Every expert was once a beginner.  So DREAM BIG. And start NOW." "Life begins at the END of your comfort zone." "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney "Dream as if you will live forever, live as if you will die today." -James Dean "You must do the thing that you think you cannot do." -Eleanor Roosevelt "The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do." "All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them." -Walt Disney 

I am stopping now before I blow up this blog up with so much awesomeness. (too bad cuz I have SO many more quotes.)

Anywho. Now you should watch this.

Life is SO beautiful and precious. We don't realize just how amazing and beautiful it really is. It's right before our eyes. It's ours to make and bend and shape into the life we truly want. It's right there. Get off the computer, get your head out of the book, buck up, just do it, make it happen. Your life might just be wasting away. You might simply just be living. Change that. Don't simply just live. Be somebody. Live a meaningful life. Do something. DREAM BIG. Start NOW. You'll never know what you are capable and what you could make of this life unless you start somewhere, and that somewhere is now.

You are capable of so much. You don't even know, you never will know just how much you are capable of. So you must take risks. You must let your heart lead you. Don't be afraid. You'll never know unless you try.

Just love. Love your dreams. Love yourself. Love life. Be happy. Smile. Be grateful.

Don't be normal. Don't get lost in the crowds of confusion; of people just trying to fit in, just trying to be "normal". No. Don't do that.

Do you know how awesome you are? God created you. You are ONE in 7 billion. You are YOU. Be unique. Be yourself. Stand out. Don't fit in. Unleash your true potential. You are something amazing. God created you, that in itself is a lot. You are a child of God and that is infinite.

Live life as if you were to die today. It's a scary thought...but you could die today. I've had the realization many times. I don't want to die and go to heaven and have God ask me, "So, what did you do?" and be like..."Well..um....I...um" Talk about embarrassing  Yeah. You never know what is in the future. What will happen. No one can predict that, only God.

He has planned this amazing life for you. It's yours for the taking. Become who God created you to be.

Make EVERY DAY  count. Don't forget to live.

 I'm going to make every day count by doing something meaningful every day. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to smile lots. I'm going to take more risks. I'm going to try new things. I'm going to love life even more. I'm going to end my life knowing that I did something, no matter how big or small. I've banned the "tomorrow, later, not now." from my vocabulary. I'm going to make my dreams come true, because I'm crazy enough to think know I can. Who's with me? :)
