Wow its been a while, well just a couple of weeks, or maybe a month... and a half. So long I haven't even blogged during the school year. Man time flies, doesn't it? The time I have left to live sneaks by day by day, minute by minute, second by second. As it does for all of us and yet... we all wish for the next step, or the brightening, or school to be over, the list goes on. You know whats funny is we all tell people that its all mental, happiness is perception and it is rare to find someone who acts out what they teach.
See that just totally takes me off subject, why is it that people seem to struggle with following what they preach? "be thankful for what you have" "oh failure isn't the enemy" and so many people tear themselves apart when they "fail" at something. Its comical how just about all of us are hypocrites, most of us to a pretty extreme measure. It just points out how "actions speak louder than words"
It really is funny though, so many of us have the keys to happiness, and yet so few of us use them. Why is that? Its pretty simple though, right? We have it all in front of us, why is it so darn hard to apply it? It truly is hard, that's because our greatest friend is our greatest enemy, and that simply is your mind. The same protector that protects me from doing totally stupid things, holds me back from doing things I want to accomplish.
Its a tough battle. Why is it a tough battle? That is simply because it is all about change. And the answer I don't have is why change is so difficult. All that I have learned in my short time in life is that its very hard. Its hard because its about changing the values this world has taught us. Its hard to change from wanting everything in the world to being grateful just for what you have, its hard to change from "its all about me" to wanting to help all of our neighbors out.
Of course its all about balance but I'm pretty confident most of us are balanced on the wrong side. So whats the point? I'm not always totally sure when I'm talking about anything, but keep perspective in mind, maybe try to follow the guidelines most of us have learned so well.
Carli, its been a while, besides hearing stories from your sister, and your blog, I'm not even totally sure if your alive, I'm sure you are. Morgan, I simply don't see you enough anymore, its crazy that my life is so busy that its even affecting things inside of school. Anyway, I hope your doing great and all is still well! Miriam, A great thanks to you for taking me to Harvest. I had a great time and I'm sure everyone else did as well. And Megan, I know you read this from time to time and all that is coming to my head is good luck getting out of Hogan: if you do, congrats and thanks for keeping me sane. If you don't: Thanks for continuing to keep me sane.
Thanks for reading, I hope you all got a little out of this, or at least enjoyed reading it. If you need anything at all just let me know, and hopefully I can help. I hope things are great for you all.
