It's Not All Up To You (Service to Your Fellow Brethren)

Song of the Day: I See Fire by, Ed Sheeran 

This week has been crazy of all sorts!
I had 4 exams scheduled this week (and no, it's not midterms week): Romanian, Physics, Neuroanatomy, and Art History.

I honestly thought I was going to fail at least one of them. I stayed up into the night, missed several classes, and prayed fervently that I will succeed all by myself.

But then I realize, I can't do this all by myself.

I believe that people who say they can do things all by themselves are lying to themselves.
Because no matter how you look at it, it's not all up to you. No matter what dream you have, that dream affects other people and thus, your dream is not about you.
It's about others.
Thus, if your mentality is "Only I can change things. It is up to ME AND ONLY ME to decide to succeed or not" then you're not looking at the entire picture.

Your goals and dreams is about other people: your family, your friends, your significant other, and others that will become an integral part of your life.
