Just Go

Just Go

By Keith Kareem Williams

A wise friend once told me that a wise man once said, "If you know where you're supposed to go then just go there!" I've been trying to live that life. Ambition is like a compass but at some point you have to move in the direction of the things you want and the places you'd like to be.

The same holds true for where you're NOT supposed to be. If you know that you're not supposed to be somewhere then just leave. It's something so simple and yet so difficult sometimes. However, once you've made the move that you needed to make, things tend to feel much better.

The world is filled with amazing people who settle for being mediocre. They abandon the best parts of themselves to be whatever is considered "normal" in their circle of friends. I hope that I'm not the only one who finds this tragic. If you were meant to walk on the surface of the moon you should dance there. If you feel in your heart that you should be swimming among the stars, take your clothes off and skinny-dip in space. Why not? Why settle for regular when incredible is so much more fun?
