A Life Worth Living

Make your life worth living, because you have the power to do so. I believe life is about the built up adrenaline rush that follows up with taking risks and exploring new things. Without taking risks and living under constant rational decisions, we live on an ongoing treadmill with no climax or culminations. Although it may seem irrational to swim with sharks or jump out of an airplane thousand of feet above ground, both dangerous and puts your life at high risk, people still do it for the rush that it comes with. Humans were not designed to constantly make rational decisions just to simply live, its the irrational decisions that make life worth living. When making decisions that make you feel excited, scared, or anxious, you know you are living a life worth living.

Only Idiots Don't Have Contradictions

Throughout my life I have come across contradictions that I dig myself into, whether knowing it or not. One of my biggest contradictions that I face almost everyday is procrastination. Although I know starting my homework earlier is best for me and I hate being stressed out when leaving homework to the last minute, I often do anyways. I don't know how or why this happens but it always does. I even point out other people's procrastination without acknowledging my own problem with it first. In the past trying to resolve this problem,  I have made a number of homework plans and schedules outlining when to do my homework on time. After realizing that not even planning and my will to correct the contradiction within procrastination, I have come to terms with it and decided to live with this paradox in my life.

Contradictions are a normal part of life that everyone obtain, even if they don't realize it. Everyone has either been wrong about something they were sure about, hypocritical, or deceptive at some point in their life. It's not something we control and we can't be blamed for it, "only idiots don't have contradictions" (McCandless).
