The awakened man....


















“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”
-Sir Winston Churchill-

Millions of people go to work every day to work for bosses they can’t stand in jobs they don’t like, to earn money they think they can’t live without, to spend on things they don’t need. And as they near the end of their lives they wish they had done something different to have radically changed it all. But the reason they didn’t change it all is because they never truly woke up, they just kept on dreaming and let life pass them by. The challenge before us is to truly awaken to the times in which we live, and commit ourselves to taking charge of life instead of just letting it slowly pass us by. Let every one else live out their lives in quiet desperation, let everyone else sleep on, dreaming of what they would do, if only they weren’t afraid to do it. But while those who dream sleep on, the awakened man is not just breathing but really living, taking charge of his life and writing a little of his own history in the process. Those who dare to awaken will never recover from what they have done.... and they will never want to either.
