It's amazing how life always turns out to be so very different from everything we've imagined. You think about it and tell yourself, "Oh, c'mon, that's never going to happen", but when you look back a few years later, you suddenly realize it did happen, or it was better that it didn't happen. We often don't realize just how much power we have over ourselves and the the world around us - simply because it's so very easy to forget; to just live like you're another object in the universe, doing what the universe tells you to do.
And that moment of realization, that's pretty incredible. When you study people, you always notice this little immunity thing, the psychological immunity. We have a mind-bending ability to move on and change ourselves. The pain grows lighter with every day that goes by and all of a sudden you can smile again; laugh; love. In the very first moment, you think your world has fallen apart - but then you look at it again and realize it's been five years and you're absolutely fine. And that... that's amazing.
And it's just... it's just that you have such a plan for yourself, such a burning desire to do something, and all you keep seeing is people trying to stop you. You're telling yourself you have to break through, at least once, just this one, single, first time, and then you can go back to where you started, but you often don't realize that once you broke through, you can no longer go back to where you started. Because it's gone. The person you thought you were was gone. Just because of that single action that you thought would do nothing.
And all of a sudden you have so much to explore, because you can do anything.
But even though that surprises people often, that shouldn't come to us as a surprise. I mean, isn't that the point of our "superior" abilities over other living beings in this world?
