Reflection

Written: September 22nd, 2010

What is it that you classify yourself as? Most of us have not lived long enough to reach our full potential, whether it be with life, love, or understanding of anything that truly pushes us to where we are; Yet, we have lived long enough to realize where we stand among the spectators, or where we have placed ourselves among the ambitious.

Do you see yourself as a realist? Do you take things for what they are, failing to see things for what they may become? Are you incapable of setting aside your patience, to give individuals or special circumstances their means to grow amongst the ever changing rotation of our world? A realist tends to establish beings, places, and feelings as they are seen on the outside, never venturing to question why. One who will never use maybe, or possibly in a sentence, but instead actually is likely a realist.

Do you see yourself as a rationalist? Do you feel that things are the way they appear, but have a feeling that things could be deeper? A rationalist feels that things are as they appear, but have not fully sucumbed to the pressure to settle on this basic idea. They may have an idea of what the true meaning of their position in this world is, but are not content with their standing; Nor, will they settle on the idea of feeling complacent.

"You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.." I feel that I am in this category. Rather than conceptualize the reality that this is it, or that this may be it, I feel that this is not it. I know that I have not reached my full potential in anything that I have done; nor do I feel anyone else has. Potential is only reached with your own satisfaction, not based on others perceptions. Until I feel satisfied that I have conquered the world ahead, I will not be appeased with who I am. Dreams are measured through your eyes, they are accomplished through your heart, and until you feel you can do no more.. they should not cease.

Whether you are a realist, rationalist, or idealist is your own path. A realist will most likely find satisfaction in their life, and they will easielly accomplish anything they put their mind to. A rationalist will find a way to bring peace to their life by finding a way of coming to terms with their own situation, but a dreamer.. if you are like me you will not find peace, harmony, or bliss. We will be helping the realists and rationalists reach their goals, time after time; But, we're alright with that because that's what we do.
