Before i start my blog, i recommend anyone who feels lost or needs words of wisdom watch Joel Osteen. He has been a huge inspiration to me and taught me a lot of things that i always knew but too afraid to believe.
First thing i want to address are DREAMS.
if there is anything you must remember about a dream it is that without a plan it becomes a wish. its in our nature to make a wish whenever we blow out birthday candles, lose an eyelash, or see a shooting star. but it needs to be in our nature to make plans as well. when you want to accomplish something in life, be aware of what that goal is. if someone asks you what is your purpose, make it clear. not only to the person questioning you, but to yourself. otherwise you'll never reach your desired destination.
make your goals and write them down. the more you read over them, the more obligated you feel to make them reality. there is a difference between a wish and a god given talent. if you find yourself constantly thinking about something, you go to sleep with it on your mind and wake up for the next 3 years every day with it on your mind- take time to invest in your talent. it was placed there for you to pursue.
you need long term goals & short term goals. long term goals need to be extreme, something you can achieve within 10 years. if you reach one of those goals in 2 or 3 years, they arent challenging enough. but make sure they are realistic. short term goals are so that you can celebrate your victory to being on your way to that long term goal. always remember that you have a destination, its up to you to come face to face with it. and never sit comfortably with being "satisfied" when it comes to your goals. you never really reach your best because no matter what youve accomplished, you can ALWAYS do better.
Now i want to talk about CIRCLES & PREJUDICE.
in life we go through stages where we say we dont need anybody, we can do it on our own. that may very well be so, but in all honesty i believe people were created TO need each other. everyone needs somebody whether youd like to admit it or not. people come in and out of your life, some stay longer than others. but realize people are brought into your life at certain times for several reasons such as to test your strength mentally, to stand by you through hard times, to love you, to help you and mold you, and lets not forget to distract you. in your heart you have to decide who belongs in what category.
Enlarge your circle of love. show more acceptance. the people we judge the most are often the people who have the warmest hearts. you miss out on great people when you size them up according to your "perfect" standards. the surface only reveals everything that is not permanent. a person could lose their money, their good looks, and all their flashy clothes. but once you get inside someones heart, theres nothin more beautiful.
there are many things a person could do wrong in the world, but probably the worst thing you can do is judge someone based on a mere glance. you should be more pleased with whats in somebodys heart and whats in their mind rather than how cool they look. just because someone dresses nice or looks nice doesnt assure you they have a good heart. give people the benefit of a doubt that they are doin the best they can with what theyve got. have a wide circle of love!its not about closing your circle to shut everyone out making them feel unwelcome, its about expanding your circle to those who bring you happiness. having to reduce your circle isnt something to brag about. when you widen your circle of love it chances your heart. when you sew mercy, you reap mercy.
