Never underestimate the possibilities of the world

I have realized that part of the reason why I’ve been lazy lately is because I am not truely aware of all that is possible, and all that is going on. It is easy, when living ones days in a city to become overwhelmed with things to do. So one reverts to what one knows and what one is comfortable with. This can be healthy for a time, but if it means that one does not strive to grab ahold of life, it can be deadly to the soul. I realize that while I am in this sort of overwhelmed-induced stuppor that I do not have any role models – there is no one that inspires me. So I think I walk around underestimating people, underestimating the possibilities of the world – because I underestimate myself. I want to walk around the city constantly thinking of the possibilities of every person I see. They may have done AIDS work in Africa, for all I know. Or they could be researchers who have been to the bottom of the ocean. I think maybe it would be healthy to look at everyone as a potential role model – everyone has something to teach.
