There are only so many tommorows!

Somebody  should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we  might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever  you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Pope  Paul VI
We only live in this earth once, and we can only do so much. Many people have done great, inspiring and even world changinng decisions. However, compared to me, a 14 year old boy, have done just about; nothing. Sure, you may think, “Oh,  you’re only 14, no one expects anything big from you?”, but the truth is thousands of other young teens like me took action in so much ways like sharing their voices to thousands of adults, displaying amazing talents, involving in politics and so much more. So I ask myself, why not me? This quote reminds me in what I can do now rather than what I dream of, live like there is no tomorrow. What will I do to show my passions and when will I start. There are only so many tomorrows. It implies that people like myself limit ourselves to go for our ambitions because our age, insecurities and failures barricade us to do so. However, if we look beyond all of these things that obstruct us and start living a life like there is no tomorrow, it changes your mindset into doing everything you can. Personally, I want to make a difference in this world, even in small way, be courageous enough to share my views and influence others positively. The quote gives me motivation each day to think about what I have done, what I can do now and things I may take for granted.
