There Are A Lot of Stars

 This life offers us many fascinating opportunities, wouldn't you agree? Just like the infinite number of stars we see up in the sky on a clear cool night, we also have the same number of paths in our own lives to stardom down here on earth. Let me ask you a question. Are you bold enough to shoot for the stars? Will you fearlessly take advantage of possibilities when they present themselves?

There are so many things we could do, like become an astronaut. Fireman. Professional athlete. Teacher. Coach. Mentor. Friend. Parent. What would you really like to do? Would you like to someday run a marathon, climb a mountain, hike the Appalachian Trail, kayak down a waterfall, jump out of an airplane, swim with the sharks, or drive around this great big country of ours? How about something as simple as just spending more time with family and friends? Do you want to learn to meditate? Do yoga? Join a gym? Write a book? Star in a play? Break a world record? Or to just slowly sip a nice warm comforting cup of coffee while you get lost in your thoughts?

There are so many possibilities on this planet for all of us that I can't even truly begin to mention them here in this tiny article. Okay? So this is what we are going to do next. I want all of us to do this next thing from now on. Every time that we venture outside at night I want all of us to look up at the sky and take a moment to notice all those stars up there. Next, I want all of us to remember that all those stars up there represent all the things down here on   Earth that we could be doing.

Now teens, go learn, lead, and lay the way to a better world for all of us. Remember that there are lots of stars. And maybe with some hard work, you can join them. And once again, thanks in advance for all that you do, and all that you will do...
