How or Why?

written by: Electra

We are all born free and unaware of what lies ahead of us.When we are young we curse the ignorance that we have to live in and are so impatient to know 'what happens next'.We are all so full of hope and ambition about what we will do or become.We all have big plans about conquering the world but the harsh reality soon shines, full force, on our opptimistic faces and burns away all the hope, the dreams and ambitions.
As we get older we find our strenghts and weaknesses.We try so desperately to cling to those childhood dreams but it gets clearer and clearer that those dreams were dreams and they will stay dreams.Yet we refuse to give up hope and fight increasingly harder to get reality of our backs-we say 'I can be anything I want' but most of us end up as nobody's still nursing those childish dreams of making it big in the world.The worst comes when we see others-who not so long ago stood beside us standing infront of us.We think 'What do they have That I don't' or 'Why them and not me?' or 'Why does the world favour them?'.Don't all of us have these thoughts , I know I do but my question is not why but How.How do I stop feeling this way?I want to stop feeling this way because I control my life not the other way around.So How?
