Life is more fictional than I thought.

I don't know why I thought life would be different than in the stories, but it isn't.

Life is like the harder version of arcs, it turns out.

And sometimes those arcs involve become superheroes, but sometimes they involve accepting that you will never have super powers, you will not, most likely, become a rich billionaire because of what you've accomplished, you won't the save the world (again, most likely). You won't save the world, but you can save worlds. You can save your world, you can save that person's world, you can save that man's world, that woman's world, that sibling's world, that random person online's world. Your life is one of worth, whether or not you do anything with it, but it is more worth it to you, at least from what I've seen, if you save one person's world at least.

Even if that person is yourself. Sometimes, to save other worlds, you have to save your own. You have to be the hero for yourself, you have to be the Gandalf for yourself that gets you out of your comfort zone and into what you need to be doing to save those dwarves from the dragon, or save your best friend from going down a path that'll lead to dark places.

The point is, now that it's worth fighting to have a better life. It's worth failing time and time again, because.... if you do fail time and time again, at least you'll know plenty of ways not to do it. And, if you fail so many times, you inevitably know where you went wrong. If you know where yo went wrong you can avoid that wrong and therefore choose the right path. Well what if that path is wrong too? Then find another path. Look at it from a different angle.

There are infinite paths that yo could take to do any sort of thing. The only limits are the ones you set. I include yo accepting other boundaries as limits that you set, because you are choosing to have those limits, not them. They can't choose for you. Even if it's the wrong way, you can choose that path if you truly desire it. 

And that's the beauty in life. In the end, you can choose to start going in the right way, even if it's hard, even if you feel like you have no success, even if it feels like you'd rather be dead. It would not be better if you were dead, you can't save people's worlds as a dead person. Well, you can, but that's a whole can of worms we don't need to discuss right now. If you are alive, you can change things drastically for yourself and others that ultimately brings you happiness. Happiness, my friends, is the best thing to want because that internal desire drives us to things that other desires, other goals, would drive us away from inadvertadly. For example, if you want people to be less poor, but you use none of your money to help people, only to further your goals to get a new car... are you really being true to that desire? If you do both, then that is awesome and fine. But priorities, my guys, priorities.

In the end, this is a choose your own adventure.

So what are you going to choose?

Have a good one, folks, and thank you for listening to my TED talk-
