Each day I am going to try (to say the least) to write one blog regarding some random topic, who knows what that topic will be but I need an escape, an escape to write and to get things off my chest, what I don't say out loud. Who honestly knows if one person or a few people will ever look at this blog, but i need this...
I hate the fact that at the age of 21, that I have this mind set of just getting through today or cant wait until tomorrow. Why do we wish our lives away when we are only given one chance to live???? We jam pack our lives with so much stuff to do within our week from work, school, social lives, relationships, family and somehow try to balance it all....but in the end it seems like an epic fail. Never really taking the time to figure out what we want to do in life, instead we live by these standards of "this is the way it is and how you should go about doing your life" For example as high-school students we are pushed to get in the right college or university and while at college advisers and professors push for internships and for finding a job after college...and the cycle continues......i guess my fear is that i wont find my purpose and drive for life. I am happy don't get me wrong, I have a great family, close friends, and a relationship with my best friend for 6 years but what is honestly the purpose of filling up our calenders and checking off to do lists....to satisfy this feeling inside ourselves and for that feeling to come back the next day with a new to do list....i dont think so....but how do you get out of that cycle????
If anyone does read this I`ll leave you with a quote by Charles Swindoll...
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
