In your life, you probably had various different stages in where in that short period of time, from childhood to adulthood, you find yourself dreaming and trying to determine what your life is going to be like when you grow up. No one can be sure about this, but the different stages you might go through might be something like this:
From ages 1-10, Your possibly thinking of being a spaceman, billionnaire or maybe even superman. Your mind at the moment is an imaginational whirlwind that keeps spiralling and twisting.
From ages 10-15: You start to get interested in different hobbies and sports etc, and you kind of start to think more realisticly, gaining idols and looking up to them as someone you want grow up to be.
From ages 15-18: The stress of reality starts to kick in and you start applying for part time jobs, trying to ignore the inevitable by partying and never studying, but when you try the lack of motivation doesn't make it happen
From 18+: the reality of your life has begun to spring into action and now you are sat in the hall about to be tested on everything that you have been taught, the dreams that you have been looking at are looking vaguely impossible. Then, a couple months later, you get the envelope.
This envelope is no ordinary envelope, its the envelope that could determine what path in life you are going to take. Whether it be your going to be in a top notch job with brilliant pay, or working for your local fast food joint.
Now, if you just believed a word i just said in that last sentence, then sorry that was all bullshit.
Inside the envelope is going to be a set of...5/6 letters? Just a set of simple letters on a simple piece of paper, and yet these letters somehow have the amazing power to turn someones life upside down in a matter of seconds and easily toy with their emotions. I have read various articles on teens like myself not having the motivation to do anything else after these sets of "letters" are given to them, maybe scarring themselves and in worse cases, even throwing themselves over buildings feeling like their not good enough.
Now i'm not saying you shouldnt still study for these letters because its worth a shot, in the best of cases you can exceed your expectations. But these letters should not be the reason you give up on your hopes and dreams, each and everyone of you are capable of more than you think. When you look at people who own multi million businesses around the world, you will probably say, "gosh he's/she's smart" well, half the time you will be suprised to know that they weren't the brightest of people to have ever embraced the earth, the only things they had with them were motivation, and imagination.
Now, with these two things combined, it will make you practically unpredictable, like they say "the skies the limit". But the problem is, with todays society, we have been brought up in such a big safe enviroment that we think nothing can go wrong, or the fact that we dont want anything to go wrong. There's a phrase that your probably very much familiar with, it goes like "you win some, you lose some" you may pass it off as one of the lamest phrases you have ever heard, but its one of the most honest phrases you will hear in your life.
Now, instead of sitting on your behind and staring into this screen with your hand on your cheek, the next 24 hours, try and reignite that passion that you have been ignoring, because of whatever reason it was thats stopping you. Whether it be the "letters" or people putting you down because you can't do it. Ignore them, just Go for it. I know its going to be hard, but motivation only comes to you when have actions to build your motivation and imagination off.
Dont live yourself in dissapointment, be happy in what your doing
