I think we all need a pep talk.
The world needs you to stop being boring. Yeah, you. Boring is easy, everybody can be boring. But you’re “gooder” _____ that. Life is not a game people. Life isn’t a cereal either. Well, it is a cereal. And if life is a game, aren’t we all on the same team. I mean, really, right? I’m on your team, be _____ my team.
This is life people, you’ve got air coming _____ your nose! You’ve got a heartbeat! That means it’s time to do something!
A poem. “Two roads diverged in the woods, and I took the road less traveled…” AND IT HURT MAN!Really bad. ROCKS! THORNS! And GLASS! My pants broke. NOT COOL ROBERT FROST. But what if there really were two paths? I want to be on the one that leads _____ awesome.
It’s like the dude, Journey said: “Don’t stop believing.” unless your dream is stupid. Then you should get a better dream. I think that’s how it goes. Get a better dream and keep going, keep going, keep going and keep going.
.
What if Michael Jordan had quit? Well he did quit. But he retired, yeah, that’s it, he retired. But before that, _____ high school, what if he quit when he didn’t make the team? He would have never made Space Jam and I love Space Jam. What would be your Space Jam? What will you create to make the world awesome?
.
Nothing if you keep sitting there. That’s why I’m talking to you today. This is your time. This is my time. It’s our time. We can make everyday better _____ each other. If we’re all on the same team, let’s start acting like it
.
We’ve got work to do. We can cry _____ it or we can dance about it. We were made to be awesome. Let’s get _____ there. I don’t know everything, I’m just a kid. But I do know this, it’s everybody’s duty to give the world a reason to dance. So get _____ it.
You’ve just been pep talked. Create something that will make the world awesome. Play ball.
Now, write your own version of a pep talk to give to someone.
