Way too young to be dealing with stress or anything that is going to cause me stress in the near OR distant future. 20’s are the years to be free and careless, to have fun and find who you really are. I’m all about putting your grown up pants on and making moves, but only when it comes naturally and willingly. The worst part of life is being TOLD that you have to grow up. Granted we’re all supposed to grow up sooner or later, but that doesn’t mean taking away our youth and throwing us into the deep end without knowing how to swim. Life’s about choices, I want to be able to choose to stay young, but be responsible. Life shouldn’t be hard. For anyone. Period. I just pray and look for the positivity that all of us who are working hard to give ourselves a better life, come out on top of it all- hoping the stress is worth it.

New Week- Fight
Fight for something you love. Fight if it’s important to you. Fight if it’s someone you love. Fight if you know that in the end the bumps and bruises will have been worth it. Fight to be a better person in life. Fight the battles and win them all. There is something or someone out there in this world that’s worth fighting for. Find it, and fight hard. If you want it, go get it- and don’t stop until it’s yours. The best thing in life are free, but they also don’t come by so easily. Build yourself up to be someone strong, to be someone pushing for more out of life. Life truly is about winning, because it’s a constant battle. There’s going to be someone prettier, more handsome, smarter, and all of the above and in betweens; but there will never be another you. And there is someone or something out there that’s waiting for you to fight for them/it.
New Week- Someone Else
Do things for someone else.
Share your happiness with someone else.
Share your success with someone else.
Care for someone else.
Succeed for someone else.
Appreciate someone else.
Love someone else.
Strive for perfection in life, and for success, but do it with and for someone else. Having someone to share the big moments with, or having someone motivating you to accomplish something is more rewarding than just doing it for yourself. Granted, we should do and accomplish goals for ourselves, but on top of that we should be doing it for someone we love. Life is too short to celebrate alone. And by having “someone else,” I don’t mean a significant other; I mean, someone you love. Family. Friends. Anyone you could possibly love more than yourself, do it for that person.
New Week- Reflect
As we reach the final month of 2014, let us reflect; reflect on both the good and the bad. Think about all the good that has happened to you and your loved ones this year, and also think about the bad. Did it make you stronger? Did you learn from it? Learning from your mistakes has to be one of the best forms of education. Learning from something you’ve done makes it stick. The people who’ve done you wrong, you learn to not trust as easily and look out for yourself. The job you quit, you’ve learned what type of career you want for yourself. And through all the good, you carry on the positivity and the lifestyle that comes along with it. As we enter the last stretch, choose what you want to take into 2015 and what you want to leave back in 2014. Reflect and learn; a lot happens in a year.
New Week- Monday’s
End of the day. Finally, case of the Monday’s, over. Just take all the stress, headaches, and frustration from today’s back-to-reality attitude, and turn it into something positive. Use it to strive for a better week to come. Be appreciative and thankful that you have work, even if it gives you headaches; that you have an education, even if it stresses you out; that you have loved ones who are always on your back, even if they frustrate you. Have a better attitude tomorrow. And if you’ve had a good day today, remember that positivity tomorrow. Don’t start a week happy and end it poorly, and if it started poorly, end it happy. The point is, don’t let the word “Monday” ruin everything; pretend it’s Friday, everyone loves a Friday. Don’t label the days of the week, because it’s little things like that that throw off your mood and put bad vibes in your head.
Be happy, be great, and be positive. I truly hope the rest of the week is a great as you make it.
You’re Okay.
Life isn’t “life” unless you’re living happy. Work is “work” if it’s not something you love. School isn’t education unless you’re really learning. We lose friends, and we gain new ones. Our families fight, and then they get over it. Life is a never ending cycle of ups and downs; or might I say downs and ups- because no matter what negative situation we’re faced with, a positive one follows. It’s always sunny the day after it rains. So cry it out, put up with the crap you’re facing right now because once this is over, something good is coming your way. And I promise, it will end eventually and that good is on its way moments later.
Don’t Ever.
Don’t ever:
– let people tell you you can’t
– let people tell you no
– feel like you’re not good enough
– let anyone make you feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s not good enough
– think the road eventually comes to an end
– think happiness is temporary
– let other people dictate your life
– give up on your dreams
– stop creating new dreams
– let people walk all over you
– let people control your happiness
– think negatively
– wish for someone else’s life
– stray away from who you
– be somebody you’re not
Be humble and appreciate what you have. Be strong and embrace your journey through life.
New Week- Good People
Are you a good person? Really think about it. Of course we all want success for ourselves, but a good person would also want success for those around them. A good person wants to see the people they love (i.e. family and friends) to be just as successful. Don’t be selfish, don’t be rude, and don’t be jealous. There is something in store for all of us; and for each person, there is something different. No two people are the same, and no two people are going to get the same. Help those, even if they don’t help you. Care for others, even if they don’t care for you. Pray for them, even if they don’t wish well for you. The difference between you and these other people, is that good things will come to you. Be known as the person who is always happy and is genuinely a good person- people love being around individuals like this for the good energy. Bottom line is to be a good person. Help others succeed, for this is part of the success of yourself- because being true to yourself and those around you is a puzzle piece to your own success.
Freedom.
Embrace who you are.
Unfortunately, not everyone was blessed to be a movie/super star; but is that really a blessing? Is it a blessing to be judged by your every day life actions? Is it a blessing to be judged by every move you make? Personally, I don’t think so. I like who I am. Actually, I love who I am.
I love that I’m “5 PM rush hour traffic.” I love that I’m “pick up my little sister from school.” I love that I’m “make an appointment to see my doctor and wait for hours”. I love that I get to go to college and experience life. I love that I’m all these things that most people wouldn’t love to be, because these are the things that make me feel alive and human. I feel sorry for celebrities. I feel sorry for the people who spend two thousand dollars on a pair of sweats. Is that what your life has come to? Is that what’s it’s all about? For them, maybe. But for me, it’s more than that. It’s about being able to be my own kind of person, through the good and bad, and not have anyone judge me while I find the right road to my own success. I have the freedom to build my life the way I want to. I have the freedom to be a real individual.
My Happiness.
I had originally wanted to blog about my recent trip to San Francisco for my personal day; however, I’m stuck at jury duty on this lovely Thursday afternoon in California. So, here’s an on the go post about my happiness lately. I’ve come to realize that when you least expect for things to go smoothly and make you the happiest, is when you’re not trying. Life can be so stressful and such a headache, but that’s only if you let it. We’re so fortunate and blessed to surround ourselves by family and friends who love us and make us happy. For me, I’m especially thankful for my family. So thankful to have such a loving and supportive family. Thankful for my sister who’s given me the greatest gift I could ever ask for, a beautiful niece who will, as of this weekend, be my precious god daughter. A significant other who pushes me and makes me want to be the best person I can be. And for his family, who’s taken my family in as if they were their own. I don’t know what I did to deserve such happiness, but I’m thankful. And I’m thankful to share it with the people I love.
And to everyone else: when you find this kind of happiness, don’t let it go. Appreciate the love and support from the people who care about you, and don’t push them away.
Stay tuned for the photos from my San Fran trip!
