Don't Become What You Hate

Harsh title for this morning...  But it is true, don't become something that you hate.  Many times in life we find ourselves walking through and going through the motions just trying to stay afloat.  We do just enough to make sure that we can get through the day and make it to the next, never really giving it our best effort.  How many times have you walked by someone and wondered what their life must be like?  Have you put yourself where they are and have you found yourself happier for a short instance?  Have you ever sat and compared your life to that of another individuals and thought about how happy they are?  Do you take what you have for granted?  Do you see your life as not worth what someone else's is?  We make these comparisons all the time really, if you see a celebrity on TV and or in a movie, we often times wonder what it must be like to have what they do.  The big house, the nice cars, the money...  We begin to doubt just exactly it is that we have, we take for granted our successes and put them on the back burner for a glimpse of what some else's life may look like.  We see that this jealousy and disdain for ourselves begin to grow inside of us because we may not have everything we WANT.  We get down and feel defeated, we see ourselves as less than worthy in the eyes of those around us, but that could not be further from the truth.  You have to take into consideration what you have and who you are.  So you may not be on TV making all of this money and live this lavish lifestyle, but what do you have?  Do you have a roof over your head?  Food in your kitchen or the money to go and get food when you wish?  Many times we wish for more but we often over look what we have been given.  Do not fear that your life will not mean anything, you are the hero that someone is looking for.  You are worth more than what you see on TV.  Yes people will have more than you at times, but that does not mean that what we do have is not worth the same amount.  We have to look at how we see the world differently, we have to take charge of the change that so desperately wants to happen in your life. 

For today, do not compare yourself to that of others.  Do not let that hate for yourself build up inside of you and rob you of what you do have.  You are live and breathing, do you know how many people would trade that alone with you for one more chance?  We have to take advantage of the time that we are given on this earth and fight past what holds us back.  Do not let the hate of what others have stand in the way of what you have.  Be brave and push past that to see that you are worth more than you can imagine.  Be strong in what you have and who you are, believe that you can become better today than you were yesterday.  Believe in yourself and be stronger than you can ever imagine, show your worth by moving past the image that society sets forth.  Be happy and be you!

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...
