about this story
The beginning of our lives are so exciting, believing we can be anything we choose to be. We are given the bricks needed to build our lives by those around us, is up to us to decide what to build. Whether they want to or not, everyone is responsible for their lives, and what is built is up to them.
As time passes, our lives have began to be constructed, through our actions, thoughts, and motives, these bricks conjoin, creating the beginning of a structure which is not yet clear to see. Even though it is not clear what we should be doing, it is the most important stage, as this is the base of our building and will reflect the rest of our lives.
At a certain point in everyones lives, we must decide what we have to be, for we no longer have all the time in the world to decide, it can be labeled as a leap of faith into whatever comes next. It is evident that a majority of us are not satisfied with the life we built and the road we are taking, despite it was us who was in control. It is believed that ten percent of the total population are doing what they want to be doing, and the other ninety are simply moving through life. Robert Downy Jr. was in and out of jail during is early years, severely affecting his building. However he was able to take that leap of faith, changing his ways, and changing his creation entirely. This means that it is never too late to change our ways, however it can go both ways.
After the jump, we are in our lane, the right lane going slow through life, ensuring we make it to the destination. The left reflects a fast life which may be cut short. While driving forward we will question did we build what we wanted? Is it too late to change lanes? Where am I going? While anything is possible,
At the end of the road, no matter our choices, good or bad, our building is finished. For eternity it will sit there, effecting those who enter and leave. Learning that the building we made was not just for us, but is an example on those close to us on how to build theirs.
