“If you want to change the world . . . don’t back down from the sharks.” Swimming with sharks have never been and never will be on my bucket list. I am not a huge fan of meeting creatures bigger than me and that have the capability of causing great bodily harm. I even struggle with facing them in an aquarium because of trust issues and fragile glass. Some things are not worth risking. While I will always draw a line between actual sharks and me, it does not mean I will let the sharks that lurk around me in my life off the hook. Sharks are the things in life that try to knock us down and scare us from trying. They always seem to bite back when we are already drowning in work. All it takes is coming back up for fresh air and a moment of serenity to know how to prove the sharks wrong. No matter who or what your shark is, know you have the power to be in control of the situation. Sharks smell fear, so never let your sharks know you are afraid of them. Be the bigger person, and let your sharks know who is boss. “If you want to change the world . . . be your very best in the darkest moment.” Life is not always a bed of roses. The thorns hurt, and sadness pours out. As much as we all wish this was never the case in life, we must be realistic with ourselves. In those times of low moments, looking forward to happier days will surely help in some way. It sometimes feels like the world has a way of making sure to knock us down even more when we are already down. And even though I usually find myself being a positive and happy person, it would be easy to let the world capture my happiness and hold my smile for ransom. We must show that we are stronger than what is thrown our way. How we deal with challenging circumstances and react to what is going on around us says a lot about us as an individual. We can either let the world know we are vulnerable and be torn down when life gets a little too hard, or we can take whatever comes with strength and determination to come out stronger on the other side. I like the second option best, but it is ultimately your decision. Let your smile rule the world, and not the other way around. Smile, the world is watching. Stay Curious, Kayla
