In a moment of feeling despair that the work is too hard and that you will never be able to overcome a feat that has been presented to you, remind yourself that pressure creates diamonds. Speaking for myself, I know that the hardships that I had to overcome in life made me a to a stronger and more tolerant person to certain obstacles. Although I am not perfect, and no human is perfect, I find time to focus on the things that create distance from old thoughts that will tend to linger around and potentially hold me back from the task at hand. To process is to forget, having amnesia in a sense. To keep moving forward, to have faith and strength in yourself to know that you will be okay in the end. Given the time, no matter the issue, remind yourself that you will one day be a diamond that came from the rough. Just as if you were a rose that grew from concrete. At the end of the day, it could be worse as I would often to tell myself. Life is a lesson and a blessing in itself, don't waste it sulking, hoping for an easier end to come and save you, struggle and failure is needed for success.

IN LIGHT OF THE NEW YEAR IT IS TIME TO CREATE TO SELF, AND PAY ATTENTION TO HEALTH. MENTALLY, WE CAN CURATE ANYTHING THAT WE PUT OUR MINDS TO, EVEN IN THE EVENT OF DISTRESS AND BEING LOST. AS MUCH AS WE SPEAK THINGS INTO EXISTENCE AS HUMANS, WE MUST ALLOW OURSELVES TO BRING STRUCTURE, DISCIPLINE, AND LAWS TO OUR OWN MORALS. SPEAKING FOR MY SELF, IN ORDER TO CHANGE CERTAIN HABITS I NEEDED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IN MY OWN MIND TO CREATE A BARRIER TO THWART WHATEVER NEGATIVE ENERGY CONSISTENTLY REMAINED DORMANT WITHIN MY MIND.
WE MUST COME TO TERMS WITH REALITY, FOCUS ON OURSELVES BEFORE CONTRIBUTING TO WHAT WE FEEL SOCIETY NEEDS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE FACT OF KNOWING WHAT WE TRULY WANT OUT OF LIFE, AND WE HAVE TO ACCEPT OURSELVES BY BEING OUR SELF. CREATE YOUR OWN MANIFESTO, YOUR OWN SET OF LAWS AND POLICIES. USE THESE THINGS AS A FOR HOW YOU THINK YOU SHOULD LIVE YOUR LIFE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HELP YOURSELF!!! |
