You Deserve More

You deserve more.  I say this to get you thinking, thinking about what you would do with more.  It could be more time, money, hope, whatever positive thing you like.  How would your mindset be different if you had more?  Would you find yourself happier and more likely to have good days as opposed to bad ones?  Many times we wish for certain outcomes in life that never materialize.  But that does not mean that you don't deserve more than what you have now.  Let's look at more time for instance, if you were told that you had less than six months to live, you would beg for more time on this earth.  You might regret all of the things that you never did while you still had plenty of life to live.  How would your outlook on this world be different?  Would you look at the world in a different light knowing that you had a certain amount of time left to fulfill what you desire?  Why wait for that moment in time?  Why wait for your last moments to begin to really live and enjoy life.  We are given a specific amount of time here on earth and unfortunately we do not know when that time may be up.  So I say this to tell you this one truth...  Live your life.  Love your life.  Be better tomorrow than what you were today.  Be humble, be wise.  Live for you and your family.  Trust that you have the strength to over come and adversity that you face on a daily basis.  I know at times your mind can play tricks on you to make you think that you are worth nothing, but I am here to tell you that you are worth it.  That you can live and enjoy every second of your life.  However YOU have to make that choice.  You have to be the one that stands up to your self and make that commitment.  Scary right?  I know that we can sometimes face a battle that we do not know if we can win, however you have every tool inside of you to already be successful.  I read something today that said: "Would the 8 year old you be proud of where you are today?", if your answer was No, then what can be done to help change your path now to becoming a better version of yourself.  What can you do differently that will shape your future to a better one?  We often times dwell on the negative in our lives, but if we find a positive aspect to focus on then we can begin the healing process. 

For today, do not let your world decay with the adversity that you may face.  You have what you need inside of you to accomplish anything in life.  You are an amazing individual who is one in a million.  There is no one else in the world just like you.  Take steps today to make a better version of you, take time today to find a positive aspect of your life that you can focus your attention on to give you hope.  Nothing in life is meant to be easy, but if you face what you fear then we can overcome anything in this world.  We were not meant to be held back by ourselves, we were meant to live out our dreams.  I am proud of you, proud of any step in the right direction you may have made.  I know that there will be set backs but if you push just a little bit you may be surprised with the amount of strength inside of 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...
