I think it would be a good thing if everyone stopped trying to figure out who they were and just enjoy life. I'm not saying live your life by the seat of your pants, but it seems we get so caught up in defining who were are as people, that we lose ourselves in the process. I would like to be able to live my life happily while accepting me for who I am, flaws and all. I want to stop trying to figure out what I'm about or what my purpose in life is, and just live my life to the fullest and focus on the now. If I discover something about myself in the process, then great, but I want to try and stop dwelling on every little thing in my life.
We all make mistakes. Whats the point in focusing all our energy in to why we made the mistakes we did. Its good to learn from your mistakes, but don't get so caught up in why you made them. You might just find yourself making another mistake in the process.
Live a satisfying life. Be content in what you have and don't focus all your attention on what you don't have in life. One day, you will realize all the time you wasted and it will be too late to go back. Try to remember that the small things in life are what are important. The hand print paint pictures your child brings home from school for you to proudly put on your refrigerator or an unexpected bouquet of flowers from your husband.
Invest yourself into meaningful things. Don't focus on just your self satisfaction. Help other, love others. You may learn that when you give of yourself, you feel a satisfaction that is like no other.
Peace and Love,

Don't read if you're closed minded. A call to rise above!
Its a very daunting thing to sit back and watch the way people act. I have always considered myself a people watcher (like so many others). Normally, it has been something I've enjoyed, but in all honesty it is something that is embarrassing and sad as well. Its like getting kicked in the butt from behind. You just don't see it coming.
I've seen the way many people today talk to their fellow beings. Actually, I've experienced this first hand. Having a job where I am in constant contact with people allows you to see the real face of people we brush shoulders with and of those we don't. I consider myself a people person by nature, but recently I've noticed myself getting frustrated much more in my dealings with people. Even in difficult confrontations with people in my job, I've been able to handle things professionally and without getting upset.
But lately, I've notice an increase in utter disrespect for people. An attitude of superiority. A general dislike for people. I have had people talk to me as if I were below them and stupid. I've felt the need to justify and explain myself to strangers who assume that I'm unintelligent or unsuccessful for the job I have. Well first, I happen to like my job. Second, its a dern good job, and yes, I said dern. I've felt the need to look them in the eye and tell them how hard I work for my family, and how I bust my butt in college to get a degree. How one day, when I'm a lawyer, we will see what they have to say. I've wanted to defend other employees because we have so many people working multiple jobs to provide for their family. Sorry, not everyone gets things handed to them. I've even had to stop myself, and think when I'm acting in a way that is inappropriate. Even I have to assess where my train of thought is taking me, and listen to my convictions.
I've sat in places and watched how disrespectful people speak to servers or people in service industry jobs (like a nail salon). Why is it so difficult for people to respect each other for the mere fact that we are humans? I've seen the way the younger generations act and speak now. I fear for my own child being brought up in world where hatred and animosity seems to fuel everything.
HEY YOUNGER PEOPLE (MY AGE INCLUDED) OPEN DOORS FOR PEOPLE OLDER THAN YOU!!! GIVE UP YOUR SEAT IN A RESTAURANT WAITING ROOM FOR AN ELDERLY PERSON. GUYS, OPEN DOORS FOR LADIES. BE UNIQUE,BUT STOP MAKING UP DUMB WORDS! BE POLITE!!!! PLEASE, THANK YOU, YES MA'AM, NO SIR!!! SHOW COURTESY TO EACH OTHER.
OLDER GENERATION. YOU CAN STILL LEARN TOO! JUST BECAUSE YOUR OLDER, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN TREAT OTHERS POORLY. WE NEED YOUR GUIDANCE AND NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN TO SOMEONE WHO TALKS TO THEM LIKE THEIR STUPID!
NO ONE IS ANY BETTER FOR THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. NO ONE IS BETTER FOR THEIR NATIONALITY. OR THEIR BANK ACCOUNT. OR THEIR JOB!
Think before you act! Its one thing to act obnoxious and be treated stupid, because you are, in fact, acting in a stupid way. You don't have to have an IQ of 170 to do the right thing and act in a proper manner.
Just remember that what you do now, does affect your future. Please also understand that what you do, also affects other people. The world does not revolve around you. The world does not revolve around America. Yeah, I said it.
We owe it to each other to love one another and learn from each other. So rise above. Rise above your circumstances. Rise above whatever class society places you.
There will come a time when we all answer to the same God.
Peace and Love,
