Experience...Life.
Experience life like you’ve never before.
Experience life any way you can.
You can have as many riches as you wish.
You can live a dream you have always wanted to come true.
You can do anything as you please.
Picture the beautiful landscape:
Sunny all the time, beautiful colors of fresh green, blue, yellow, and red all around.
Taste the perfectly cooked meals:
Baked potatoes, steak grilled to perfection, bacon made to your liking.
Smell the fresh air, the perfume of beautiful flowers, and that small scent of vanilla.
Feel the cool breeze mixed with warmth from the sun on your skin.
Hear the soft, soothing ocean, and sweet songs from birds,
but don’t live it lost in the dark.
Don’t let your enemies pull you away.
Don’t let anything stop you from finding your destination.
Your destination will be better than any dream you’ve ever imagined.
Your destination will give you joy and happiness.
Your destination will lock up all of your fears.
It will keep them at a distance.
It will never let you relive your fears.
It will make them all disappear,
but only if you face them head on.
Face your fears with confidence.
Face your fears like a true warrior.
Face them but don’t embrace them.
Breathe. Be bold, be brave, but be bright.
Because if you don’t, then they will break you.
They will tear you apart.
They will replay all those bad memories hundreds, no thousands, no millions of times.
They will crush the person you have become.
Become a man, and face those fears.
Become a man, and find your destination.
Become a man, and experience life like you’ve never before.
