Play hard. Everything in life is a process; it’s possible to achieve anything you want in life just by asking yourself to believe in it. Give and take, for example: if you give nothing to the universe, it won’t want to give back anything to you. You may not believe in the powers of God or the Universe or anything for that matter, but give and take doesn’t just have to do with the belief in a system, it has to do with the belief within one’s self, YOURself, and after having regular occurrences of struggle followed by success you will realize, a) how much you have to offer to society, and b) how much the society has to offer to you. Have you ever just sat down and thought about your self-worth? Where you’re going in life and how it is affecting and effecting everything (it’s a load to think about, I know). Well, I can say I successfully tried to plan my future and this thinking has lead to a process of sadness, crying and forgiveness. People deal with most life situations in different ways, for example if something has to be said, I suggest ripping of the band-aid – just do it. Might as well say how you really feel instead of walking around with a dreaded burden on your shoulders. Now, I know several people who would disagree with this because they don’t want to hurt other peoples’ feelings but, when it comes down to it, sometimes, you’ve got to be a little selfish and think about your needs before someone else’s. It is your life after all, take yourself out of the situation, look inside and do the right thing over the easy thing.

Processing your future and paving a path for your future plans is frightening to think about. I think the main reason we get so caught up in planning our future is the realization of possible failure, associated with anger or sadness, associated with money and basically uncertainty.

Carried away..

Lately I've been thinking a lot about independence. Why is it that there is a larger sense of accomplishment when we do things ourselves? Are we really proud of what we've accomplished or are we mostly happy we did it ourselves? 

I think for the most part, I've been trying to figure it all out myself and I think I've done pretty rad job- if I do say so myself. I think we all need to take a little more pride in the fact that, in the end of the day we are all a single person with our own thoughts and opinions and if you're reading this you just made it through to another day.

 You can't have someone else's gut feeling. 

Sometimes, nobody is going to understand your emotions but as long as you are leader of your life, you have the ability to decide how you want your life to turn out.

I used to think when I was sad or angry that it was a fixable issue. I would ask myself questions like "What is it that I am really upset about? What is the big problem here? How can I help myself to fix it?.. 

I would narrow down the problem.

I would figure out my answers in a matter of hours and be on with readjusting my "big problem".

 But what happened? 

When did I start doubting myself and when did I stop finding the answers.

Dream on

You know when you feel like you're in a do-or-die position in your life? and it's an all or nothing situation but you know you can't take the easy way out because let's face it, the easy way isn't the right way to get to your dream. Following your heart and intuition is no 5 stepper. It seams to be a rigorous path of which you battle and challenge yourself to discover your purpose in life- to define yourself. I can now say that I am on that challenging path trying to weed out by-standing obstacles and use succeeding elements to help me though.

 That just got deep. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that your idols, your mentors, your role models, didn't have it easy and neither are you. Nothing should be in your way of something you want to achieve.
