I want you to read this entire article to feel the drive and motivation that I have right now.
For those of you who don't know, Chester Bennington (lead singer for Linkin Park) committed suicide 2 days ago. What's ironic to me, and also a little creepy, is that I started listening to music that morning on my phone, when I decided to play the entire Linkin Park album. Exactly 2 hours later, I found out that this man had just killed himself.
It was a very sad moment for me. I was alright for a couple of hours, until it hit me.. I got a little depressed about life itself to be honest. I'm fantastic now, don't worry. But here's why:
See, I realized something. Nothing compares to death.
People complain about their situations.. But are they really that bad? So bad that they cannot be over-come? We tend to make our situations far worse than they need to be. Why am I bringing this up?
Well, I don't know what happened in this situation.. I don't know why he committed suicide.. I don't understand the troubles he had, or the reasoning behind it.. But I do know one thing. Nothing compares to ending your life. It is irreversible. As long as you are living and breathing, you can fix your problems. If you are dead however, you cannot do anything. You're just completely surrendering.
The reason I am making this post is because as much as this situation is depressing, and incredibly heart-breaking (The guy was a legend), I still got some inspiration from it. The motivation to never give up no matter what.. Because as long as you are breathing, you can over-come anything. The motivation to stop letting others control you, and limit you, and ruin your life, and instead take life by the horns and own it.
You have absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain! Nothing compares to death.
This also gave me a reality check. The fact that life is too short. So many people are taking life for granted.. Not doing the things they want to do because of the unimportant limitations like money, fear, anxiety, depression, etc. You need to start living! You can do absolutely what ever you want with your life. No one is stopping you. People will try, but just ignore them! Just go and live your dreams right now!!
Ask yourself this question: "If I were to die today, would I be satisfied with my life so far?" If the answer doesn't completely make you happy, then you need to start living. Throw away any fear that you may have. It's unnecessary, and just holding you back.
Here is a music video of Linkin Park to commemorate Chester Bennington. I'll admit, their music isn't for everyone, but it's about the passion. The music tells stories of it's own.
More than how much this post can make, I care far more about getting my content in front of newer faces. So if you would like to show your appreciation, it would be awesome of you to resteem this, and share it with others!
Talk soon guys.
