Lifes hard, but never give up

Like the title suggests...life isn't easy, but every once in a while we have to sit down and just think about how far we have come. Some days I think what have I done, I've worked so hard and has there been any changes. So since this is a soccer blog, I thought I would share with you all my journey so far.

As you can guess I have been playing soccer since I was very young. When I think back to what I was like then I can't even believe the boy in that picture is me. When I was younger I had so many dreams and really truly believed they would come true.

Now this is starting to look more like me. The most interesting thing about this picture and when I think back to those days...I have look a lot different than the boy in the first picture but I believed in the same things, my life was soccer, my dream was soccer and I believed in it so much.

Even though this picture feels like a million years ago, it was only 4 years ago, unfortunately after this trip to London I didn't realize that the dream of becoming a professional soccer player was slowly slipping away and my one regret for my soccer career was not realizing this early and not putting in that little bit of extra work that I needed...but this post is about never giving up right?

At this point in my life I was so set on being a professional soccer player that any accomplishment I had seemed small and unimportant. I wish I would have stopped and taken a second to realize all that i had accomplished and been proud of myself. Sometimes we are so caught up in our own lives we forget to be happy and forget to take a second say...Im proud of everything I've done

And now to present time, 19 and I wish I wouldn't had taken my childhood so seriously and had more fun and not put so much pressure on myself. Knowing that I would have been this unhappy because I have yet to achieve my goal that I set for myself is ridiculous  I mean I never once stopped and said good job to myself, or that I am proud, i only said "your still not there" or "this still Isn't enough" and thats wrong because we only have one life and we should never give up on own dream, I haven't, i just wish I would have enjoyed these 19 years a little more.

BE HAPPY and DONT LET YOUR DREAMS GET YOU DOWN, BUT NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS EITHER
