A whole new world

I stare out into this world behind glass. Everything has beauty, everything is calm. It all falls into place, so quiet, so peaceful. Little things struggling for survival that you cant see or comprehend. Each flower growing higher, to fight off the competition, each animal trying to do better than another. Why does it look so beautiful, if everything is constantly struggling to do better? Why cant you see the fight each thing has to accomplish to become the beauty that we see?

Do we really belong in this world? Do we have a place? The attachments that we make, are they real? It is so easy to dissappear and become another person. We are on our own, no matter who we engage with, what stability we find, it can be ripped from under us without even noticing. No one can pick up the pieces, it has to come from within.

There is a whole world out there, full of competition, full of struggle but it is what you make it. Rely on yourself, not on others. Learn from your mistakes and be strong in not making them again. Always learn, always grow. Don't be the wall flower that is so easy to create.

You can be beautiful, whether you are struggling or not, just like the flowers and the animals. They do not show their pain, they do not give up. They keep trying till the accomplish. Giving up is for the losers. The people that are not strong enough. We have a choice, we are a fighter or a loser. No one else can decide.

The world can be beautiful, I just need to find it...
