To Be Everything

To Be Different,
Is to be noticed.
Is Be Different,
to do what you enjoy.
To Be Different,
Is to be unique.

To Be Embarrassed,
Is to do something you wouldn't normaly do.
To Be Embarrassed,
Is to take risks.
To Be Embarrassed,
Is to care.

To Be filled with joy,
Is to Be surprised.
To Be filled with joy,
Is to have enjoyed your past experiences.

To Be occupied,
Is to fill your schedule to the max!
To Be occupied,
Is to spread yourself thin.

To Be passionate,
Is to Love what you do,
no matter what that may be.

To Be Everything,
Is not always possible.
To Be Everything,
Is challenging,
that is why, 
we find the need to understand,
Everything doesn't all happen at once.

wouldn't feel the same if a male wrote this. It's nice. Hope that isn't sexist.
