I started this blog some time ago
to keep a journal about the things that happened in my life. Instead, it expanded to a place for my
opinions and thoughts. Any way you look
at it, this is my forum for sharing my feelings about what affects me. No, I’m not talking about sensitivity I’m
talking about the things and people that have affected me. I think we all have
the same way of thinking but may not have the opportunity to put it on paper. Some of our thoughts and actions are very
confidential and we don’t want or need anyone to criticize us about the way we
are. There are lists of reasons not to
record what we think or do.
I do this because I hope that it
can help someone. I’m not sure people
even read my blogs but there will be a time that could help someone face their
challenges and avoid making the wrong decisions. For me, the blog is a platform to express
myself, spiritually, emotionally and socially.
Notice that I did not say financially. You can’t talk about something you
don’t know.
One thing we all know is that
people and environments around us shape us into who we are. We also know that if we develop our attitude it
can help us change for the better. We
learn something from everyone in our journey of living, sometimes it’s good and
sometimes not. Sometimes what we thought
was good for us turned out not being so good at all. We can carry the not-so-good with us and
wonder why we attract negativity to us.
We can put that mess behind us, forgive and move forward. I learned after time that the people that
“surprised” us did not care or lose any sleep for their offenses. I also learned that I was not any different
from them. What made me think that I was any better? I have affected lives, too. I don’t recall losing any sleep on what I did
but I can remember staying up at nights thinking about what other people did to
me. I hope you get the point.
Despite what you might think, we
are not on this journey alone and actions affect others just as they affect
us. We have to face our inner selves and
ask the strong questions. What do we
want from life? How will we get it? What will we sacrifice? Who will this affect? How long will it last? Who can we trust to share our life with? We can achieve our biggest dream, lose
everything else to get it and we are still not guaranteed that we can even keep
it. We don’t even know how long we will
even live to enjoy it! We need to figure out a way to get along with each other
on this planet and make it happen. What is worth our objective? Some objectives can be either success or
getting into heaven. Both are not easy
but success does not have to be measured in dollars. What is your joy? You know
what I’m talking about.
Each moment we live and breathe
we should be grateful that we have another opportunity to do and be
better! Each day is a learning
experience and I pray that we can get the best out of it!
