"He wanted a woman who would feel about him the way he felt about her —- as if she’d been missing something until they met, willing to give up everything to follow him from one world to another, certain that every disastrous second she’d spent alone had only been leading up to this moment. He wanted a woman who did not exist." — Jodi Picoult
I have had quite a few challenges these past few weeks. I've also been wrestling with my emotions; i've had a hand full.
Why? When? Nostalgia, questions, emotions, painful memories, not the whole enchilada. I'm not a hot mess, but it has given me some headaches and a lot to think about.
I've thought about my progress, and my future.
I guess i am constantly re-evaluating myself, and the standards I want to spread.
But I don't let these things bring me down.
Sometimes they do, but I am not perfect.
"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."
Sometimes I want to give up. Sometimes I feel like I can't go on, or it is useless for me to go on. Sometimes I feel like I am a waste. Sometimes I feel like the things I do aren't enough.
But I go on because I have a firm foundation. A Savior I can depend on.
I still have that smile on my face, and my head up high, because I trust in Him.
"My aura is positive, and I don't promote no junk!"
I feel like blogging everyday.
But then I feel like it's something that's been written already. Sometimes I feel like it's not worth blogging, or i'm just lazy. More than often, I feel like every blog I write should be meaningful because you the readers are taking time out of your day to learn more about me, or find some news about me, or enjoy reading my pieces, or just stumbled upon my blog. So thank you, for all the people who visit here. Sorry I haven't done that much, but I'm working on that come back.
Inspiration
I think that everyone is a hero. I look up to everyone. Why you ask? It's actually quite simple. Doesn't it make you feel good when you see someone doing something good for another?
Hero is defined as a man distinguished by exceptional courage and nobility and strength.
For me, everyday people are heroes. People who do the little things that go passed the regular human vision and perception. The things unseen.
I commend people who work hard, help others, just straight up be nice to other people. They're the real heroes. Those who aren't thanked for what they do. You work hard, you do it the right way, and you deserve the best. You the bomb.
So what do heroes have to do with inspiration? Heroes inspire people. Everyone is a hero. We should inspire each other.
I am inspired when I see someone hold the door for someone. A smile can help bring someones day up. I kind gesture. Even a simple thank you. It is inspiring. I'm inspired by the gardener guy who makes our school campus. Someone who asks, "how are you doing?" The thought that someone cares about your own well being should matter. People that care are inspiring.
The most inspiring to me, is when someone goes out of their way to do something for someone.
Selfless actions that disregard and sacrafice their feelings and plans for someone else. Simply put: inspiring.
When you can help someone, inspire someone, and expect nothing in return, you are a hero. A real inspiration.
We all have the potential to be a hero and inspire other soon-to-be heroes. Do not think for one minute you can't, because ordinary people do the extra-ordinary things on a daily basis! You just don't know it. Well, now you know.
It feels good to do something for someone. To put a smile on someone's face. To make someone's day. If you do something good for someone, it helps you out: itdoes good for you. It makes you feel good, feel better. It brings up everyones mood! So spread the love, inspire others because you are a hero in someone's life.
BTW, I'm in class right now, and we're watching a movie on Darfur; please pray for them. Pray for our nation that needs a revival.
Peace.
This is one of those blogs that will show one of my weaknesses. If you know me, I do not like to show weakness. One of the main reasons why I don't like to show weakness is because being a leader, or being a person that influences others, or even just being a person in my position, it does not play out too well. At least for me. I just don't like to show anyone because I want to be the least of problems, and for me to reach out to people who have problems, I guess I just struggle with it. (FYI I am sort of tearing up as I write this)
I love the show house. It is one of my favorites. I watch it as often as I can. At the moment I am watching house, and blogging, and procrastinating my homework (how unfortunate). While watching an episode on family, I have come to a realization that I feel miserable. Alot. Dr, House is a guy I can relate to, because he's miserable inside, and he doesn't want to admit it, or let anyone get too close to him. At times I feel that way. Deep down inside, I'm just sort of hurting. I don't want to admit it. How am I suppose to be a positive influence on other people, or someone who is suppose to be strong when others aren't with this... that is why it stays inside.
Am I not happy? Usually I say that If the Lord takes me tomorrow, I have lived a happy and fulfilling life. But right now I feel miserable sometimes. Maybe I am not miserable, but I am longing for parts in my life that are missing. I'm miserable because I'm scared. Maybe I'm craving something that I should be patient for. It hurts me because it is something really special to me, and I am feel like I will never come to it.
You can have all the best materialistic things in your life, but it does not equal to what Love has to offer, what Love can do to your life.
I should just shut up, build a bridge and get over it huh?
When my mind kicks in, it will tell me that God will take care of my problems, and I am blessed with everything I have. I should be patient, and continue to go along the path that the Lord has instore for me. God is bigger than my problems and I should trust in Him.
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out,
"It tastes sweet, does it not?"
"You've caught me!" grief answered
"and you've ruined my business! How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?"
There are a few I don't agree with, you guys should know this one, but overall good piece.
