Alright so I agree it has been months since I have been blogging on here at least. So as the new year starts I figure why not write a fresh new blog.
***However I will warn you this is not something I wrote on some paper for a new year's resolution. In fact I decided not to write anything down, because I know what I want so its up to me this year to accomplish it. ***
Now to more important things! I recieved a book "Become a Better You" by Joel Osteen. I must admit that I have only read a few chapters and I really really like it. I like Joel's way of teaching. But I do have one complaint about this book, it seems to keep repeating the same message over and over but in different sentences. I am assuming because he wants to make sure you get the point. I must say I am a bit annoyed with reading the same point 10 times in one paragraph but I understand why he does what he does.
Next I have decided this year is about positive influences. My silly brain gets into thinking these crazy ideas sometimes but here I go. I am laying it out all on the table. Do people ever get sick of being so negative, not just to others but unto themselves? I wonder do people enjoy being down or negative all the time? Is it like a sick habit or addiction. I mean seriously how many times can you get down on yourself about how fat, ugly, lame, bad person, or how uncreative you are? First you must have more confidence in yourself. I mean it really sucks when people aren't even telling you these things, but for some reason YOU yourself are putting you down. Come on people its 2010 be POSITIVE, be good to yourselves. The truth is someone doesn't believe those awful things about you. Your are great, you are talented, you are not fat or ugly. Love yourselves, because if you do not then no one else can. Even if you are not the negative one but you surround yourself around these people then you too can fall into this unhealthy habit. So for this year I will be a friend from the distance to those negative people, because I refuse to drown with the rest. POSITIVITY is powerful.
This next part is a series of questions I am asking. I just want you to think about this for a moment. No pressure :)
Have you ever met someone who you are so curious about? Someone who you can't believe exists out there because you have never met someone like this person? Just an ordinary person you might have thought about dismissing at first but once you find out more you are just so intrigued. How about someone who lives so freely? Did you meet a person this year that was honestly caring about others not just themselves? How about someone who was brutually honest but in the most nurturing way? Was this a person who could turn your frown into an amazing smile? Did they make you laugh? Did they make everything seem like it was going to be ok? It could be anyone a friend, a stranger, a person you are married to, or even just starting dating.
I DID, I met someone who I am very intrigued by because they carry all the qualities that most of us human beings do not acquire because we can be selfish. Someone like I have never ever met in my life before. Its a powerful thing. If you have NOT met someone like this I want to challenge you to go out and find this person. The reason I say this is because it will make you a better person and it will be a worth while experience.
So one of my favorite things to do, or maybe even a hobby of mine is meeting strangers. I guess this is how I started to see the qualities people have. Everyone you meet initially is different from the other, they might hold similar characteristics as others. I usually meet a lot, many, tons, (you get the point) of people in the year. especially for my job, but its very few who I stay in touch with. I was privileged to meet a girl this year who was awesome. I mean she is so spontaneous, loves to do these crazy adventures and I even got to challenge myself against her on my trip these past couple months. I see a little bit of me in her. Alright so I have one more challenge which might fall into the last one but basically go talk to strangers. Then decide what you learned from them.
So this year I have enrolled for some science classes, I signed up for the Johnhancock hustle the stair climb in Feburary. I have also been assigned the maid of Honor of my sister's wedding so I have been planning that. I am planning on signing up for the Chicago Marathon but haven't fully commited Ill keep you updated. I haven't planned much for this year except for what I am doing at the momeny.
Alright lastly I want to inform you of this new site I just discovered http://ffffound.com/
