Often I’ve fallen into pits of despair, or what I essentially thought was a pit of despair turned out to be a minor life inconvenience. I grew up with my mother always telling me that I tend to drown in a glass of water. I don’t think I fully grasp the concept she was actually talking about but I understand it now better than I had before. My life has not been unhappy but at points in my life I decided for myself that happiness and fulfilment weren’t really options for me and so I rather just be unhappy and do nothing with my existence. Thank God I have outgrown or have changed that now, my outlook on life is much better, not because I don’t experience unhappiness but because I choose not to drown in glasses of water.
I have many goals, ranging from personal, to career related, to being creative. I have many blessings in my life. I don’t consider myself religious in the context of the bible although I do think the book has value, I really am thankful for the way the universe treats me and how I am able to treat myself and those around me. I feel as though the goodness I experience comes from within myself.
At this moment in time I aim to inspire myself through organization, my attitude, creativity, and by seeking perspective from those around me. I intend on working harder than I ever have before and to be able to give myself the tools I need in order to be successful.
Working hard to achieve all your goals is hard, but doing nothing and having nothing is also hard, I choose the first one.
