Do what your heart desires. Put your best foot forward. Do what you do best. Focus on the good in your life. Focus on the good in others. Walk with purpose. Walk with guidance. And with that, you will never go wrong. Don’t mind other people. You do things that they can’t do. And they do things that you can’t do. If you try to step up your game, negative people will say things that attempt to break you down. But remember that what they say is not up building. They speak such things with a lack of love, and less thought of how other people will interpret what they say. In fact, they give their own words less weight; light as feathers they will scatter. Not too detrimental, but bothersome and hard to contain. So put that best foot forward. Put that chin up. Accelerate.

There is so much room for improvement. There is always room for improvement. We live in a world that has very independent thinking: “Accept me the way I am.” To some extent, this is true. Regardless of the way you look, the talents that you are born with; these are all things that should be cherished, and accepted. But the problem arises when we feel that there is no need for improvement. Insecurity is frowned upon, deemed inappropriate, unattractive, and plain undesirable. What if insecurity gives rise to something greater? Acceptance of who you CAN be.. the attitude that allows you to ask for help when you need it, to admit things even when it makes you so uncomfortable, the need to actually take action and change things. Forgive and forget. To embrace the bright future ahead of you. To focus on the things in life that you can be thankful for. To be all that you can be.
Why are we all so quick to judge? Bring up anyone in your mind. The first thing you imagine, the first descriptive words that come to mind, these are all judgements that we make about these people. It’s in our nature. The want and need to analyze, and understand; to perceive from what we merely see. But we often forget that we don’t know. People are complicated. What forms their epistemology took a lifetime, much like yours took your lifetime. When we disagree, we all (myself included) need to step back and realize that we don’t know the whole story, no matter how much we think we know. So the next time you butt heads with someone, the next time that you don’t agree, simply offer an alternative to their thinking (if it is the place to), or simply don’t say anything at all. When we offer an alternative, you just might alter their opinion. You battle it out. You might point out a thought that had never occurred to them. But sometimes, it’s best to not say anything at all. They are inclined to their thoughts as you are to yours, as I am to mine. We are all just trying to survive this system, and all we can try to do is try to get along, be the best person that we can be, and understand one thing: we don’t know anything. So give everyone a chance. If you don’t like something, someone, or a thought, accept it and move along. The scene of the world is changing. There is no time to sit there and overanalyze, and try to understand what we simply do not understand…as I am doing right now.
