Life's Questions

"What you can do, or dream you
can do, begin it; boldness has genius,
power and magic in it"

- Johann Wolfgang Van Goethe (1749-1832),
Inspired by Faust

What if you could find solutions about life by simply questioning every move you made? Questioning the reasons why god made us this way, why we are forced to make choices, then having to face the consequences of those both good and bad. How do we cope with the pluses of making good and sound choices and the consequences of making bad ones? Would it help change our life's journey; taking us from point A to point Z without having to deal with those obstacles B,C,D,E,F,G,H... you get the jist!
Changing the way we think, act, speak, relate and appreciate people, and life. Can simple questions change our lives dramatically? What if the questions we asked applied not only to our selves, but the depressed, the lonley, the weak and the confused, would that solve their problems or at least relate to it?
What is it that sets us apart, physically, emotionally and mentally? What is it that drives the common bond to pursue dreams and be motivated to aspire? What is it that lends to us thats sense of pride and joy and comfort; comfort in knowing that we are meant to be something greater that what we are expected to be, the joy and that gut feeling of knowing what we are to become. What is it that emboldens us as youths, youths of the 21st century, to want change, need change, yearn change? To put simply, what is it that makes us want not only to succeed, but make a difference?

Confused

What if you were like me young, gifted and black? What if you were like me; a young adult confused, confused about life, love and how to simplify daily decision making. Are you like me? unashemedly intelligent, inquisitive, ambitious, optimistic; optimistic about future endeavours, my creative ingenuity, innovativeness and resourcefullness, but timid? Fearful of the what the world has to offer and death?
Are you like me? with the one clear thought in mind is of the future, a future that emboldens properity and moderate wealth. someone who looks to the future with anticipation of what it holds for me, for you?
What if you were really like me, whose life is anything but perfect. The challenges of making the best decisions to secure my place in history as a leader and team player? Imperfection caused by lack of commitment; being that i have never committed myself to anything for a duration suitable for growth. What if you were like me whose education and achievements reflects nothing of that sort on paper, how would you cope?
