We all get off track sometimes

There is a time when every life goes off course. In life we don't always go the direction we want to. Things in life can make us unfocused of our goal and forget what we were doing. When this happpens to us in life we need to get back on track and stay focused of our goal. Yes we have distractions every now and then but we can't let those distract us from completing what we set out to accomplish.

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities by Stephen Covey. It's important in life to be different. We have to be different in how we live our live because everyone is different from each other. When we are different from others it gives us strength to always be different and not like someone else. Being similar is not always a bad thing. When we are similar to others we don't develop strength from ourself.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. -Helen Keller. There are some things that we can see or touch that are beautiful to us. The most beautiful things that we can see are doing something for someone else. We can't see what we do for someone else but we have the feeling in our heart which replaces what we can't see.

We all get hit in life

Life is not about how hard you can hit, but how much you can get hit and still keep moving forward. -Rocky Balboa. In life we are constantly being hit with obstacles. We are hit with a test coming up soon, a paper, work, life etc. You can't give up with you are hit with many obstacles at once. If you try you best and take it one at a time you can make it. When you make it through having many obstacles at once it shows how strong you are and you can handle what people give you no matter how hard or easy it is.

We have to look beyond imperfections

"Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect it means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections." Nothing in life will be perfect. Sometimes we think things can be perfect but they never will be. You may do something and realize you should've changed something or tried harder. If something doesn't turn out the way we want it then we need to learn what we want to change and change it if you have the chance. We can't always changed what has happened in our life but you can't let it not being perfect stop you from making the rest of your life as perfect as you want it to be.

Life has imperfections

Being happy doesnt mean everything is perfect it means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections. In life we may have one or two things we think turned out perfectly. When we think about things we have done in the past there is always something we would change. we may not necessarily want to change the outcome just how we got there. Nothing in this world is perfect and sometimes we like to think we can make things perfect when we really can't. With everything not being perfect we just have to do what we can to make the outcome what we want whether it turns our perfect or not.

Life isn't always easy

"Life is never easy for those who dream." If we didn't dream in this world then where would you get? In this world you can't get anywhere if you don't dream at sometime or another. Your dreams could take you any amount of time to accomplish. A dream that you have could be as simple as buying a car, getting a job or even getting an A on a test. A bigger dream might be to attend the college you really want to, have a career that you want and enjoy or live in the city you have always wanted to live in. No matter where we are or what we do in life we have to constantly dream. When we dream in life it helps us to know what we want to accomplish and can make life easier.

Don't always follow someone

A funny and good quote is, "Don't follow in my footsteps...I run into a lot of walls." In life sometimes we don't do what we want to do. We wait for someone else to do what we want to do and then follow them. Sometimes we even follow what other people do and it's not really what we want to do. In life we have to do what we want to do. If you don't do what you want then you will never know what you enjoy. When you follow someone else you know what they enjoy instead. Following someone can be a bad idea because they might make a bad choice and have consequences for that choice and you have to suffer with them. So when it comes to choices in life we need to make our own whenever we can.

Don't be so serious all the time

Never take life too seriously...Nobody gets out alive anyways! Sometimes in life we are very serious about what we are doing. Yes, it is good to be serious at times, but you don't need to be serious all the time. If you are always serious it is hard to have fun. Everyone needs to just relax and have fun sometimes. When it comes down to it you will always have those people who think you have to be serious all the time. If we are serious all the time then where would the fun in life be?

We all have a little rain every now and then

Another one of my favorite quotes about life is, "Life isn't about waiting for the rain to pass it's about learning to dance in the rain." Just like how it rains in the weather it can rain on our life. The rain in our life can be anything from a fight with friend, stress over school, or anything imaginable. When it rains it can mess up some plans we may have but we can't let that stop us from carrying out our plans unless they have to be outside. If it does rain on our life yeah we want to quit and give up but we can't. We just have to try our best to make it through the rain. You may not always be able to make it on your own and you need help from family or friends. No matter what happens in our life we always have to try to make it through and sometimes we may not make it but trying is better than not making it through because you didn't try.

Isn't it funny...

Isn't it funny how day-by-day nothing changes, but when you look back everything changes. Sometimes in life we just need to take a step back and see the direction things in our life are going. We may not like everything that happens or the way that it happens. We can change things by taking a step back from the situation and really looking at how things are playing out. sometimes
we may have to change how we handle certain things in our life as they come up. In certain situations you can't control what or how something happens. We can't take what we have for granted. If we take stuff for granted we may never know when it will leave our life. If something or someone does happen to leave our leave our life we never know if we will get it back. So all in all sometimes we just need to take a step back from our hectic life's and look at how things have changed around us and the direction that they are moving and if we like the direction things in our life are moving.

Life isn't About...

One of my favorite life quotes is "Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself." This is one of those quotes that people like but find it hard to apply to their daily life. Some think that we go through life to find our self. This is true to a sense. When you try different things in life you find some stuff that you enjoy and other stuff that you can't stand at all and don't want to do it again. We can't go through life and always try to find our self in other things we have to create our self. We constantly have to create our self. When we try new things in life that you may never thought you would enjoy and find that you do enjoy it you are creating yourself. There are people who say the found them self in this area and will be remembered for that. Others want to find them self in one area, but they also want to create them self in another area that people may not normally see them in. We can't always go through life doing the same routine everyday. We need to change it up every now and then and try something new so we can create the person that we want to be remembered for.

Life Always has Adventures

If life where easy...Where would all the adventures be? Constantly are we having adventures in life. Whether it be a routinely normal day at school or having fun with friends on the weekend. Sometimes life may seem easy, but then out of nowhere at times it seems difficult and you don't know what to do. Whether it be an easy time or a difficult time in life just think of it as your life's adventure. At times we don't realize but the small adventures that we have will eventually lead up to a bigger adventure. In your life people are always going through your adventures whether they realize it or you realize it. Friends, family, teachers, and other people who may come into our life for a brief time and we don't get to know very well all have an impact on this on going adventure that we call life.

Words or Quotes to Think About

For my first word for I'm going to use "inspire". To everyone this word can have a personal meaning. Recently I went to Louisville to celebrate my Great Grandmothers 90 birthday party. While we were at the restaurant there was a speech given about how my great grandmother had inspired this other woman that was there with us. My grandma has seen many things in her 90 years and raised seven daughters. Seeing her live to be this old and hoping she makes it many more has inspired me to do what I can to try and make it to be close to her age. With her making it to 90 and seeing her was nice. In today's society you never know what is going to happen to you or your family and I'm happy for the chance to celebrate another birthday with her and hope for the same chance next year.
