I truly make it my vocation to spend my energy viewing everything in a positive light, taking calculated risks, trying my hardest to overcome any obstacle I may confront, and live life to the fullest. The statement "you only live once" is more of a doctrine to me, rather than a mere cliché.I never take any moment of life for granted; it is precious, an adventure, a journey, and is beautiful. Life is truly about simply living; searching for your true meaning, and taking charge of opportunities when they arise and taking charge of cogenial.us. This is how we grow, in my opinion ace

I truly believe that to live "real", we must remain true to ourselves, respect others, with dignity and honor.I feel as if one should never forget who they are, respect themselves, retain the feeling of enthusiasm one has for each day. New experiences beget new perspectives and strengthen your soul. Even "small" emotions - such as the feeling one has when they first visit the zoo as a child or when they see their first pet – are to be cherished, perhaps even more than the larger "issues" we encounter on a daily basis, yet tend to be trivial in the broader context of our lives.I believe one can do just about anything, so long as they hold a true passion for the task at hand, and the fortitude to withstand pitfalls. Pitfalls should be viewed as opportunities for growth, and generally are a positive factor on who we become.I believe true heroes are people who put themselves in harms way to protect the lives of others, sometimes complete strangers for the respect they have for the values instilled WITHIN THEM: for example, preserving peace and justice, and living a life of meaning in dignity and honor.Such heroes embody the spirit and unconditional love of giving, which can be no stronger than that of my best friend of nearly 15 years, former roommate for most of them, MIKE, who - although recently passed away while still in his early years of his life - HAS LEFT HIS MARK OF KINDNESS AND GIVING AND EXPRESSIONS OF KINDNESS AND GIVING AND ACTS OF TRUE LOVE ON MYSELF AND COUNTLESS OTHERS, AND WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO DO SO, AS HIS PRESENCE MEMORIES AND ACTS OF KINDNESS AND SACRIFICE HE PROJECTED IS INSTILLED IN OUR HEARTS AND WILL NEVER FADE; HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITHIN US. We love you, Mike. You are with us forever.When I found out about this tragedy, I felt extreme sorrow and devastation. I still do. I always will. However, my recognition of how live can be so fragile, and the necessity to live in the now, has been reinforced. We all have traumatic experiences, which are heart-wrenching, and filled with tears. However, we are here for a reason, and must grasp each day and strive toward accomplishing duties that are above our own self interests. I believe a true hero is a person who loves who they are, and uses their unique talents to contribute to others, the heroes of mankind.
