Anchor

Isn't it funny how a piece of metal and keep a ship in place?  Think about that for a second, a little piece of metal that falls to the bottom of the sea can keep a vessel that weighs so much more than the anchor, stuck in it's tracks.  We often times throw our own anchors out to the world.  We throw out various anchors that we have constructed that keep us down and wont let us move forward in our lives.  How many times have you felt that you are moving towards a goal at a snail's pace?  Is it because you let the anchor down?  Is that anchor fear? Self doubt? Or another insecurity that we hold onto?  I'm going say something that you may turn a blind eye towards and that is: Let go.  Let go of the anchor that weighs us down and stops us from moving forward.  We only hurt ourselves when we don't allow ourselves to grow in time.  We are designed to learn and grow in this world but many times we just stay stagnant because we have the anchor of whatever stopping your life from moving forward.  So why be stuck?  Why stay where you are in life, when there is a world of opportunity in front of you.  I want you to know that you can raise your anchors and learn to experience life for what it really is and that is precious.  We have to learn that our lives wont last forever, we are given a very short amount of time on this earth and we need to make the most of it.  If we live in fear or doubt then all we are doing is making that anchor that much heavier to raise.  Yes the seas will get rough at times but smooth seas never made great sailors (thanks neck deep).  We have to learn to love this world for what it is, yes the bad things in life will keep coming at us, but it is up to us to decide that we too can be happy no matter what we face.  "It is what it is and I am happy where I am".  Keep saying that to yourself, we have the strength to move forward and be happy.  Don't let a small weight turn into something that keeps you down forever.

For today: Learn to loosen the anchors on your life.  Your time on this earth is quick and we need to experience life for what beauty it holds.  Let the smile creep on your face and let the world see that, yes just because you are in this situation right now, that does not mean that it will last forever.  Let the anchors up and learn to sail on.  We at some point in time have to pick ourselves up and carry on, if not for ourselves but for our families.  There has to be someone in this world that you are fighting for, so don't you owe it to them to keep that fight up?  Learn to take care of yourself and be at peace with who you are.  Don't let your circumstances dictate who you will become, but rather let them sharpen you to be better than who you think you are.  Learn to love and be happy with each situation that passes.  You are worth it, don't let some anchor keep you down from being the light in someone else's life. 

Until next time!

It's Been a While....

 As the title suggests, it's been a while huh?  Have you ever felt like you were less than what you really are?  I face this many times a day honestly...  Well hourly really...  I run into self defeat from the moment I open my eyes to the moment I fall asleep, I can't help it and I know it is a bunch of shit, but hey we are human right?  I have hit some snags recently that have caused me to revert back into a shell of who I was working hard to become.  Many times, I feel like I am not good enough for the people in my life, I replay the times that I have failed and let those outweigh what I could have done well or good during that day.  Most days I feel like my friends barely tolerate me and just keep me around for the memories we once shared. I know that things change with time and I have as well. It's tough to feel like this everyday and I know that these things are exaggerations built on by my anxiety and depression.  I know people get frustrated with me when it comes to

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 myself for saying whatev

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
