Inspiration From Others, Yourself, and Me!

In the past few days, I have been looking at blogs here and there that have been posted by people from totally different walks of life. I find it very interesting how, no matter how different people's lives can be; no matter how different the experiences, inspirations, goals, etc., they can still put together something that they wish to be shared with others, to spread some sort of message or point. (I have a feeling that would be one of those moments where a certain English prof. would have written "improper use of ;". Forgive me if I used that incorrectly. Anyways...) I have read about things from life-changing trips across the world to teach English, to experiences that a beautiful family has from day to day, and even someone's thoughts and emotions as they continue on the road to forgiving someone who sexually assaulted them.

No matter how different the messages and points are that come out of these blogs that I have been reading, I find myself feeling even more inspired in my own life because of them. Inspired continue to try to make a difference in the lives of others, inspired to achieve the goals I have set for myself, and inspired to continue on my path to keep forgiving those who have done me wrong in the past. I am fiercely motivated to continue to be the best person I can be. I know it sounds cheesy, but it makes me feel more purposeful and keeps me looking forward to what is coming in my life.

I have been keeping a journal since the beginning of my summer break from school. I look back to the very first entry, and I start to feel very proud of myself for overcoming all that I have since then. I know that my bad experiences don't come close to the sufferings of others, but I am still proud of what I have learned, even in the 3 months since my first entry of the break. I have learned that I am the best person to rely on 100% of the time. I trust my judgement, even when others may not. I am ready to deal with what ever else life decides to throw at me, in the most responsible, sensible way possible.

I don't say these things about myself to seem cocky or full of myself. I say them to show that I'm no longer afraid of my own decisions, my judgement, or anything else. Those fears developed because of the lack of faith other people had in me. Once someone develops faith in themselves, a lot of insecurities can go away, and that's a beautiful feeling.

I guess my point here is that I wish that people could become their own heroes and heroines. Be happy and excited to be your own person and live your own lives. I hear too much of "I wish I had this.." and "I wish I were someone else". My wish is that people could be satisfied and happy in their own lives. Life is what you make it...make it something fabulous!

I guess that's all for my first blog entry. If there are any errors, forgive me, as I'm now distracted by the T.V.

Love, love, love!
