Inorder to make an impact you have to…

First I would like to warn everyone that I will be using the phrase “give a crap” a lot in this post. This is probably the only post I will ever use questionable language in. At church on Sunday my pastor was making a point. He was quoting his grandfather and the point was this inorder to make a difference you have to “give a crap”. That connected with me. See right now I am a senior in high school and I have this nasty habit of comparing myself to others. I don’t do it on purpose it’s just something I think as humans we end up doing. Well I look at the goals and things I want to do. Then I look at the other seniors around me. For most of them there is a very big difference between a lot of my friends and I. One of the differences is the fact that I already know what I want to do with my life. I have exact goals for both long term and short term. Most of the students around me are just not sure what they want. That’s perfectly fine don’t get me wrong. What they do is their business not mine. But it is hard to hang out with others when you don’t share any goals at all. I realized the other difference is they haven’t found something they “give a crap” about. It’s not that they don’t care. It’s just that they haven’t decided they want something bad enough they are willing to “give a crap.” See I decided I wanted to make an impact because of that I care a lot about my goals and what I spend my time on. I pick and choose what I’m willing to spend my time doing. My friends keep trying to get me to watch a bunch of animes. I love anime don’t get me wrong. But it requires all my focus and attention so I spend very little time watching it. There for I don’t go out of my way to watch it that often. I spend much more time on my music or on creating videos and blog posts because I feel like those are better uses of my time. I care more about my music than watching hours of anime. My friends don’t have something they care about like that so anime is a perfectly acceptable use of they’re time. They aren’t making any impact but they aren’t really trying to either. Do you see what I mean? But inorder to make an impact you have to care enough to try. You have to “give a crap”
