I think there is something to say for someone who has gone through the most intense sort of rejection by the world... hit rock bottom... and then bounced back. I have immense respect for those that have gone through hell and back in their lives and when they were at a point where they could give up and surrender to the urges of snuffing out that small glimmer of light..... they decided they would prevail. They would become better people than anyone in their lives expected them to become.
It takes guts to start over in life. It takes guts to look at yourself in the mirror and say 'I love you but I hate you' and then do something about it. The world is full of people who live day to day with the mundane life of a follower. They never make decisions that will heavily impact their lives. They try to avoid all possible conflict with outsiders.
The people I admire ARE the outsiders. They have dared to take that leap off the cliff of reality and put all their trust in a tiny parachute.
The following video is actually a radio interview with Wil Francis of Aiden.
You all know me well enough to know that his life is one that I admire more than most. You will know why after you listen to this.
Words of Wisdom...
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
Henry David Thoreau
"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
T.E. Lawrence
