Letter From Alumni Ryan Hornack
Everybody has the thoughts of what if this happened or what if that happened, it is possibly the most mind numbing thing to have going on in your brain. The first reason that it is horrible to think about what if this happened is because in reality you are still living in the past and cant think of a way to move forward because you regret things that now wont change. Second of all thinking in this mentality causes you to suffer in the “now” and hinders you to meet new people because you still want to be with that certain person. Also day dreaming about how close you were to getting your goal or dream but actually not accomplishing it is just as bad because you are dwelling on the negatives and wishing you would have done stuff differently to succeed. We all know this as experience and we can learn from it, which is what we should do about it. But yet we desperately want what we cant have and regardless if we had it or lost it or was so close to getting it nothing is going to change the end result in the present day and therefore you have to strive past that mentality and go for bigger and better things. The hardest part about this situation is moving on, because we were so accomplished in high school or in college that we tend to get scared and simply not take risks. We simply do not take risks because we are scared of failure, but the hell with it. We all have failed once or twice and many of us several times. What makes the human mentality so cool is that failure drives us to make it better and get what we want, or somewhere down the road, capture our goal or dream. Don’t feel as if you are unmotivated because that is not the case youre just scared to take the chance to challenge yourself again to accomplish another goal god has place in front of you, and don’t want to retake the steps to do the hard work and sacrifice it takes.. it is all worth it in the end if you just take that first risky step.
