Life is an Ocean

Everything that will always be, has already been. Yet, we will always strive for more. Technology, development, advancement, and even immortality are strived after, in pursuit of complete autonomy and the avoidance of death.

While we may understand more about the sciences, we cannot do anything to work outside them appropriately – we’re only limited to what we’ve been given. Everything that we are left to work with is already in place. We cannot re-create the original, but merely explore what already exists. When we were given life, we were given an opportunity to enjoy the realm of the world around us. While it may seem that we’re developing something new, it’s just us reaching a point of understanding.

We don’t actually create anything - everything exists for us to discover. While this may be aggravating to those who wish to live a life in an “original” way, the dream is lost before is begun.

Before this sounds too depressing, I’d like to assure the reader that it’s not. Life is an adventure. It has no end or boundary. It has no limitation, no matter how much our minds would like to impose such upon us. We have the freedom to explore, and we simply discover what is.

Many artists already know this. They may have made a song, creation, or piece of art. However, many artists speak of the creation as something that’s already existed. The statue of David by Michaelangelo is a perfect example. The creator had said that the image was already there; he had simply needed to carve away the excess stone that surrounded it. Additionally, popular musicians often speak that a song comes to them - they simply tune into what’s being told to them.

While it may seem entrapping to find oneself in a position of being within an established sphere, the realm of possibilities are quite endless in comparison to one’s lifespan. Life offers a million ways to go and there just isn’t enough years in one’s life to even see everything present here. It’s a beautiful gift and it shouldn’t be wasted on television, Facebook, and other related brain drain.

Enjoy the time that you have by making what you want to do a priority. Chances are, if you like to do something, then someone else enjoys it, too. The creativity in making a living off of that mutual interest is up to you.
