How Far?

Everyone and everything has limitations. An engine will only turn so many RPMs. A dishwasher will only clean so many dishes. And a person will only push themselves so much. No one can do it all, but they can do all they can. The question you need to ask yourself is: How far will you go? 

How far would you go to tell someone you loved them? Drive across the street? Across the state? Across the country? How long would you wait? And what happens if they don't return the sentiment? Then what? 

People live every day with the decision of how far. Some people go until they get uncomfortable, then quit. Some go until it gets hard. But a few - very few - go until they can go no farther. They have either succeeded, exhausted all options, or their goals have changed over the course of the chase.

It seems a common theme these days where people just accept the things they are handed but don't fight for what they really want. Don't accept life as it is. There are so many better and brighter things out there for you. You don't get to watch the most amazing sunrise over the mountains from your couch - you have to climb to the highest peak. So get out there. Fight for what you want. Go far.
