What is life to you?

Life is a repeating line,
never changing, never evolving.
We grow up, get a job, get married, have kids and die.
Over and over,
from generation to generation,
sometimes changing the world in the in the process— or destroying it.

You can’t choose your destiny.
It is bound in your blood.
The only thing you can do
is help your destiny along.
Though there are people that will be greater than you, you can’t change what will happen.
We dream
because it’s written in our destiny.
If you reach your dream,
your dream wasn’t big enough
for you—or to make a difference in the world.
So,
do you want to make the world great?
