Hilary Tibbens- Choice entry 2 "Life"

"Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives."

Life isn't bought at a store, it is given to it's body for a reason. Some people take it for granite and don't actually live it. That person is the exact opposite of me, but don't get me wrong I used to be that person, not long ago. I stayed inside of the lines, I didn't live, I took life for granite. Variety is the spice of life, I no longer ride in the slow lane so to speak.

Sometimes life is just fear that you have to get past and push it behind you. My two largest child fears were heights and public speaking, and I conquered them by climbing to a top of a telephone pool on climbing ropes to speaking at a leadership conference with over 500 important people present. Some times the best way to get over lives fears is to take them on, and become stronger because of it.

Learning equals power. As I grow and age over time I learn more and more. There will always be expectations on how to do things the "right way" and how to behave. Why no excel more than what is expected? This means I must push myself beyond my limits, and take risks. Without this courage no opportunities will arrive like Love. With this thought, anything can happen. Our world is getting smarter over time, giving everyone the opportunity to receive the best education possible.

When I was a little girl I remember dressing up as my mom or dad in their clothes. Wishing that I was older, now I realize that why should I wish to be older when time is moving so fast, I can barely take a breath of fresh air. If anything I wish time would slow down a bit, because life is timeless....
