"Watching is never going to make magic"

"As you grow old, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, its also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it." - Morrie Schwartz

    When you think of it one way or the other, there is so much to life that you are yet to experience and learn. You will never end the lessons, it's like a course that never ends till it's time for your departure. Part of growing up is actually to start comprehending and to start making plans. One should never stay at that one spot and remain there, it's boring. Imagine wearing the same outfit for the rest of your life every single day to every single occasion. How old-school will that be, let alone boring and embarrassing.

    Part of living life, is actually setting goals and reaching out for them. A coach, whom I admire very much, once said "Watching is never going to make magic." Now that might sound out of context, but in the context of when she said it, it was a gym class. Most of the attendees where simply watching the torture-like exercise the coach was demonstrating for us to follow. To get over that gut-feeling that it's impossible, personally speaking I got over that and worked it out admiring what she just said. I never thought words of encouragement were going to be said by that specific coach. That was inspiring.

    Going back home with that thought in mind, watching really is never going to make magic. It never will and as a matter of fact it never is magic itself. If you take a moment to fully comprehend that thought, it basically applies to every aspect in life especially if you're one that is currently planning out your life ahead. Everyone can set goals, everyone can make endless lists of what they want to do and what they want to be. However, not everyone "works" on making the magic happen. The toughest part of really being what you want to be and doing what you really want to do is "work". Whatever it is you plan to do with your life, you got to work for it regardless. The worst part of it all, is to lead a wreckless-in-the-void type of life. That's simply a waste of time, effort, and well...space.

    No matter how old you're getting, you will always learn something new everyday. That is inevitable. There will always be that lesson you learn as you grow, it's part of growing up and developing yourself. It's up to you though to widely accept this and learn/argue, or discard it and waste a possible life changing experience.
