The Little Things: Part 2
This 4th of July was the first holiday in a long time I was able to sit down and enjoy it. The family grilled and had a genuine good time. I definitely needed that to keep my mind off other things. To those that do not know, I was in a car accident a few weeks ago. Sometimes, life gets the best of you. Sometimes it’s hard to be positive. Sometimes you feel like it’s pointless to try. But you should never give up:
When you wake up every morning, you have two choices: Sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them. Sometimes it feels that life is working against your favor. If you think about it, will always win after death. Unfortunately, that is the way of the world. However, no matter how hard it gets, you must always tell yourself that making it is inevitable. You become stronger because you have to be. You become smarter because you make mistakes. You become happier because of the sadness you encounter. In the end, you become wiser because of what you learned. You don’t always need advice. Sometimes you really need a hand to hold, an ear to listen, and a heart to understand. You have a solid support system. Your support system is there. Use it!
In this world, there is always going to be some type of fire under your ass. Whether it is a fire that is going to motivate or a fire that is going to burn, never forget that life goes on. You either chose to move on and risk it all or live in the past… thinking what could have been. Don’t waste time looking back at what was lost! It was lost for a reason! Life is not meant to be traveled backwards. Dori keeps swimming. Dori is smart. Be like Dori.
Let me give you a different perspective. Now read the quote again before you continue. However, replace the word ‘you’ with ‘I’ and the word ‘your’ with ‘my’ in every instance.
This week I wanted to give you guys a before and after since I have been slacking. I haven’t really thought about what I want to say or how to be inspiring. I have been focusing on my own state of mind with hopes to process what has happened within the last 4 months. Life can raise your spirits and make you the happiest person in the world. On the other hand, life can bring you down and make you feel like you don’t exist. Only a select few know the significance of this rose. However, only one person will ever understand how much it actually means to me and what it truly represents.
