Dear Z news readers,
I apologize for not consistently writing throughout the
summer but I have been off being inspired and living life to the fullest of my
abilities. But I am back because I have recently watched a speech given by
Ashton Kutcher at the teen choice awards and it got me thinking, even a little
inspired. I could begin to state various lines of his speech I thought were
insightful, empowering or even thoughtful but you would be in for a long post.
Instead, I would like to mention something Ashton said towards the end of his
speech about building and not just living your life. It got me thinking.
Anyone who has ever been proud of their lives has built
everything around them. Whether its focusing on your relationships, your career,
your health, wealth or dreams, people who seek opportunity in building their
way to success find themselves reaping the benefits in every aspect of their
lives. Life is a social construction you
have the ability to change and contribute to. Build an empire, build a name for
yourself, build a family, build peace, or build a future. Build so you can live
with the humility of hard work and pride and satisfaction of your
accomplishments.
Building something is not just creating a solid structure
and hope with time it will withstand obstacles and harsh weather. Building
requires maintenance, persistence, determination, passion and an unshakeable
belief that your foundation and fundamental beliefs and values will help you
pursue your goals. This message is not only meant for people who want to make
something big of their lives, it is made for everyone. Everyone can build their
social construction according to their deepest desires and aspirations.
Alas, I am not usually a Hollywood follower, but this time
it was worth listening to because it reminded me that inspiration could come at
any time, from anyone and anywhere. Just know those blocs are at your feet so
pick them up and start building the life you dream of living.
More to come,
J.
