My very first blog and already a lot on my mind:
Today's blog is highly relevant to my life right now and should be pertinent to yours- Believing in yourself.
Through all the hardships in life, we have to learn that life itself moves on. It may seem obvious, but as time moves on, either we live in the moment happily and content or we can endure the passing hours miserable and quite sad. This year has been quite a challenging one for me..going off to college and learning to live on my own...making decisions ranging from ones that include silly ones like choosing blue eyeliner or black to ones that make living through World War 11seem easy. Things I've learnt to accept are that everyone else goes through all these hardships and that I'm not in fact unique. Everyone has problems and people deal with them...so I asked myself. 'Why then, can't I?' Growing up sheltered and always getting things done easily has a rebound nasty effect..In fact, it's made me think (quite naively) that the world is a happy go-lucky-place and anything can be done once you know the right people. The problem with that: I don't know the right people and I definitely don't have the right connections. What I do have however, is a zesty drive to prove myself desperately to this world that I'm more than what I am..that I'm part of a bigger something..as we all are...for in the words of C.S. Lewis, a mere mortal has never been met. So for whatever reason you're feeling less than, insecure or afraid of venturing out of your zone and into the great abyss of the World, just be able to realize that we all have a part to play in this world and that no one could ever tell you what your potential is. Your limit is limitless once it's fueled by that constant almost aching desire for success.
I will admit the never ending journey to self actualization is tediously difficult and ironically soul draining sometimes..
The bumps and bruises along the road help us to get back up stronger and better than before or they can just leave you defeated. The end result is entirely up to you. So whenever you are faced with crossing that great Mountain, you have two choices: 1) Get over it 2) Stay at the bottom forever looking onto the summit with the Hope of what could be..It's either you MAKE IT HAPPEN or wait forever for something to happen. Rewind to the first paragraph of this blog, time waits on no one. Hence, at the end of the day, either you have what you want or you don't. Simple.
As you can see this was an amateur blog..but what can one expect from an amateur blogger. I hope however, that at least one person was influenced by this to get up and start something great in their life. Remember that it's never too late to be what you could have once been :)
