Don't lose sight

Good afternoon,

Have you ever had a dream that you really wanted to accomplish in your life?  Has that dream come and gone?  Did that dream move past you and you could not catch it?  Well if that is you, have you let the thoughts of losing that dream over run you?  I have, I wanted to be a pilot when I was a kid- However I was afraid to fly (go figure).  But I also put limitations on myself as well, telling myself that I was not smart enough to become a pilot because of the intense courses that each individual has to take.  I would get down and think that I will never amount to anything, but maybe that was not the plan that is set forth for me.  Maybe there is a bigger and better plan out there waiting on me to have that dream.

Those thoughts of not being good enough may be silly and I know that they are not true, but one can't help but sometimes think that way when something falls through.  I know that many times we see ourselves in a certain light and it is tough to change that view of ourselves.  I also know that stepping out of our comfort zone is challenging as well, it can cause great anxiety.  However we will never know unless we take a step towards that goal and or dream.  So for today on this Friday let us try to think of a dream that you once had in your life.  Has that dream come to pass?  Are you living your dream now?  Have you stopped pursuing that dream?  What made you stop, was it yourself or other circumstances?  I hope that one day we will be able to accomplish what we have set out to do in our life and one day we will, but until that day comes I want to try to encourage you to take the steps in your life to help you accomplish your goals.  Do not let the depressing thoughts get in your way or hold you down from achieving your dream.  I do not know if any of you watch Football (soccer), but there is a team in England called Tottenham- now you may or may not like them and that is more than ok, but they have a saying that I find inspirational.  In their stadium all around the seats and banners is the phrase- "To dare is to do", what that means to me is you never know unless you try.  So for today let's try to find that old dream that you had years ago and see if you can still capture it, who knows you may just find what you are looking for in life.

From the Outside

Have you ever heard the phrase: "from the outside everything may look fine", or some other variation.  Many times I feel that people only see what they want to on the outside and not get to know the person you really are.  I know that times I really feel judged and like an outsider but once you get to know me your opinion may change.  However in today's society it is much easier to keep to yourself and not be put in situations where people may get to know you.  A lot of times when I am around certain groups of people, I immediately feel like I am being judged as the weird person or the quiet one.  Many times I have been told that I am too quite and for me that is a defense that I set up for myself.  I often times struggle with small talk and will just end up saying something really awkward...  It happens for often than not, even with people that I know.  Lord knows I hate it when that happens, I tend to think about it the rest of the day and kick...

Be A Man

Many times I wonder what I can write about that would be uplifting to someone who battles the same things that I do.  A lot of times I want to repeat what I have already written and it is tough coming up with something new to say.  I feel like a lot of times we always hear "oh be a man" or "You'll be fine".  But a lot of times it is tougher than expected to do what others give you advice about.  I find that mental health in individuals who has anxiety and depression is important to me and I don't want you to just "be a man" or "you'll be ok", I truly want you to be ok with who you are and what this journey has taught you.  I was recently trying to explain what anxiety was to me and I found it tough.  I found it tough to express what exactly it is that I feel on a given day.  It was a struggle to explain the emotions that I feel when I have entered into a public place or am put into a situation where I know that I have to face my demo...

Believing is Seeing

"I'll give you everything that I've got left, follow you down and give you my last breath".  ~ Gideon. Many times I struggle with self worth and thinking that I am not up to anyone's standards.  Recently an opportunity has presented itself to me and I can't seem to get out of my own way.  I feel as if I am not good enough to do this new challenge, I feel like I can't live up to the expectation that has been set forth.  I seem myself as less than everyone and that is a serious struggle for me and really is the cause of most of my depression and anxieties.  I often times when in a group setting, think that people are looking at me like I am weird or something to that effect.  I feel as if people see me in a different light than who I truly am.  Once you get to know me, I promise it is worth your time :).  I am an introvert who doesn't like crowds or speaking to new people, but lately I have been trying to push past those barriers.  I recentl...
