Find it Quick!

Interperation is something that is difficult to come by, whether you're trying to inspired by something or if you are trying to inspire someone to do something when you know that they can do great things when they are. But what is inspiration?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspiration


There is more than one way of being inspired, but where does it come from? How do we get that feeling of inspiration? To some, it can just be a simple quote off a Starbucks cup :

The Irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating - in work, in play, in love.The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.

--Anne Morrias

When I read this, it made me want to commit to things more often, towards school, my friends, and towards myself. This feeling is not hard to find, you just have to open yourself up and open your mind to endless possibilities.

This feeling that you get when one is motivated is honestly a overpowering feeling. It motivates you to do things that you never thought you could do, or have you think that whatever you do, you'll succeed greatly at it. It drives you to do better, at anything really. Which is great right? How can we feel like that all the time? But like I said, it can come from anywhere. . .a picture, a quote, or just a beatiful day can do it. However it is done for you, don't let it escape, it's a great feeling, and one that shouldn't be wasted.

There is a subtle difference between a mission and a promise. A mission is something you strive to accomplish - a promise is something you are compelled to keep. One is individual, the other is shared. When a mission and a promise are one and the same. . .that's when mountains are moved and races are won.

- -Hala Moddelmog

These are some of the things that get me motivated to believe that I can do anything, and whatever I choose to do, I'll be great it. Something that is great about getting motivated, is you can find it anywhere. Just like I find mine off the back of a startbucks coffee cup, maybe that is why I love going there so much! =]

But whatever gets you motivated, don't lose it, it will do wonders for you!

Everyday stuff

There are times in our live's where we'll be thrust into doing something we dont't want to do. We even try to tell ourselves : "HEY!!, this is what I want to do. . ." but even so, in the back of our mind, were thinking craap, this is going to be bad, this is not what I want to do. As to why we do the things we do when we really don't want to, yeah we all know it, it's called Peer Pressure. We all go through it. We do not like it. . .obviously.
What I see when people go through this, all I see is fake people. It's on both sides actaully; from the pressurer and the pressuree. Their fake on so many levels, by this I'm saying that the pressurer is someone doing something morally wrong and making the pressuree feel bad. . .by guilt tripping them if you will. If not guilt tripping them, then making them feel horrible for every thing that they do or by any means necessary. But then you have the pressuree, who is just as bad. They are actaully letting someone influence who they are and what they do. They can not stand up for themselves and just say NO!
Yes, I do understand that this is typical, this happends to a lot of poeple, but does anyone ever stop to think how these decisions affect the people around them? I mean, really? These decisions can cripple someone emotionally, even though one may not see it, but it happens. It hurts. . .everyone becomes a victim of this at point, ( the pressurer, pressuree, and getting hurt by the both of them).
So why does this happen? Are their just jackasses born every minute and they stay that way all their lives? Even though this concept would be much easier to grasp, that is not the case. TOO DAMN BAD TO!!! That would make life a whole lot easier right? Well to get to the point, the one who is doing the pressuring, it all has to do with the sense of having power and control and manipulating someone! This to is obvious and makes more sense, but it gets even more complex. . .
Someone who is doing the pressuring, they pick their victim by seeing who is more vulnerable and has no will power what so ever. They are looking for someone who is shy, not willing to speak up for themselves, and for someone who cannot just say NO. Once the victim is picked, that is when the bad stuff starts to happen.
The pressurer, is someone who in fact, are actaully vulnerable as the pressuree. But they can have that sense of control over them because they are not as vulnerable as the pressuree. Their simply cowards, and need some form of reassurance about themselves, and by peer pressuring someone else, they can get that feeling they need. It's like they are feeding on this and it's notihng but a game to them.
This is something I see a lot, as do a lot of other people I'm guessing. I also know that I will be seeing this a lot more in my future job, which is becoming a psychologist. So in my studies right now, I'm learning even more as to why people do the dumb crap they do. It's all interesting.

Everything in life at one point, will get to be too difficult for one to deal with. Thats what friends are for, they are there to help you out through everything that you may go through.

Problems can get very complex from time to time. When that does happen, it is not that hard to get our life back on track and find our way through the maze that we call life.

Que Sera Sera

Sometimes the most beautiful things happen to you when you least expect them to! I took a trip and it has proven to be the best time ever spent... Random stuff but I realized that I did everything that gets me extremely close to myself, my thoughts...! Met lots and lots of people from sooo many different parts of the world, different industries, lifestyles... It was brilliant.. Like I was sleeping all this while and the sun was trying hard to peep into my blanket! The blanket is off now.. I can see the sun.. I see things in a different light now...And it sure is beautiful...Makes me feel, Not everything you are obsessed with, is worth getting obsessed over!! People live their lives in soo many different ways, it makes me think what all I could have done! I am a sucker for stability in my life, to an extent that if i don't know what I have planned next for myself professionally or personally, it gets me miserable! I am returning to my city today, rejuvenated!! I now know that's its ok! That its fine to let go and not think of the future.. Its okie not knowing whats next sometimes.. Life still goes on and it pretty much ROCKS!! :D

Always getting away from what you're used to always proves to help you out. Whether it be with finding out who you are, or even to be able to let lose and do something that you've never done before. Its healthy for yourself to get out and experiance new things and find out what life is all about, even though that at times, finding out things can be difficult for one to comprehend, but that is how lessons are made and knowledge is gained.

Tonight I was reminded...and was prompted to remind...that it's ok to relate one's love stories with effervescent verve and wonder, and that as humans so often we walk around craving to hear how other people experience love, and how we all relate to each others' varying experiences of something that presents itself in such vast diversity.
I was telling K that it pisses me off that part of being a grown up is this annoying realization that there are no freaking absolustes, and you just. can't. make. assumptions that the way you perceive and experience the world around you is not the same way those you are surrounded by are experiencing it. And those rare and wonderful intersections in life where you can at least communicate or relate your experience in some abstract and approximate way with another human being are to be coveted and recognized as absolutely precious.
And I related to K a love story from my past. My distant past. And it's a story that I am sure has benefited from an age and a half of romantic forgetfullness. In fact, it's possible the actual order of events was completely fiction. I'm sure there was more strife in the relationship than what I related, but regardless, the story that unfolded was kind of beautiful, and sincere from my standpoint now. And my memory of the individual moments of the stories are all very positive ones, which I know to have been true. And I remember my exact feelings and have evidence through journals of my exact thoughts, crazy though they were. But my point is that it's amazing to me that I can still so distinctly FEEL the texture and warmth of a love that lasted for 2 years 20 years ago, and both smile and cry at the retelling of it...
And I still have all of the love letters. hee hee. I am nothing if not a total freaking sap.
I am encouraged by the existence that love is out there. That it has existed in my life in several varying shades and rhythms, and no one experience was any more or less value strictly due to his tenure or tenacity. I am shaped by *all* of my experiences, and my chosen response to them. And if I like who I am now, which I most certainly do, it is only because of that mish mash of perception, with a small dash of arbitrary reality, has made me that person.
And it's nice, because when being given the opportunity to peer into the windows of a different house of love, I learn to appreciate all that I have had in my life, and all that I have...and will have.
Forever and forever and forever.

We all wander around hoping to know all there is about love, learning all the tricks and trying to figure out what true love is. But one thing is for certain, love does not have a set definition for every individual on this earth. We go through experiencing what we may think is love, and have this wonderful feeling of having this significant other. Its something that we all strive for at one point in our lives, and something that we hope to feel one day, we will all search for this in our lives, and hopefully, it will be something that we will find.

Quote

"There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me… or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don’t fit your idea of who I should be and don’t try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you."

At one point in our lives, someone will try to mold or shape us into someone that we are not. They'll usually only do this because they think that we are not good enough to hang out with them or do not fit into their social group that they hang out with. But what people don't realize is that we are who we are, that is if we dont let people convert us into something that we are not when we are young. Throughout our whole lives, if we are who we want to be, then we will not live a happy life, but instead live behind someone elses shadow, and we'll never step into the light and be happy with who we are.

Point to Life. . .1

Life is very hard. No one ever said it was going to be easy. But even average people, or the people who America considers to have “the easy(er) life”, believe that they have a hard life just as much as the ones who are considered below average. And God knows we all have a hatred for the above average. But who decides what level you are on? Is it us ourselves? Is it society as a whole? Is this a type of discrimination and stereotyping? Are we going back to our segregation ways, but just in a different form? But then, the poor are getting mad at the rich for being wealthy, but the rich had to work just as hard to become rich. Even if you were born into a wealthy family, someone had to work to get there, and someone has to work to keep it going. I’m not rich, but I’m not poor. I’m middle class. But if you think about it, can you ever be “rich enough”. No, because it’s human nature to be greedy. We will always want more. That’s the point to life… I guess.

We as humans will always want more in life, whether it be money, or materialistic things. We have become as greedy as we have ever been, why couldn't it be the way it used to be a long time ago, when all that was valued in life was love and that family and friends that you had? This is true though, the point to life is in fact how rich we become and how we can get there; to live anymore now a days anyway, you need money, and lots of it. Something that we will always strive for in todays society.

Independent Thoughts

If we think, act and believe as everyone else does, what makes us special? The truth is, if we allow ourselves to be governed by the expectations and dogmas of outside influences we are not special.We are simply a part of a group, a crowd, a faction which dictates how we are expected to think, act, and believe. We merely need to comply and we are instantly accepted into The Crowd...any crowd.There is no effort required on our part. By simply conforming to the expectations of the crowd we are immediately accepted into that crowd and presented with the illusion of being important.We relinquish our Individual Sovereignty for group acceptance.For many persons, this is quite alright.We also become part of The Crowd when we allow our thoughts,actions and beliefs to be governed by a news media which is constantly bombarding us with its own special, self-serving,brand of "information".Any time we are thinking, acting or believing the same way as"everyone else" we cease being unique and special. We cast aside our Divine Gift of Independent Thought.The Independent Thinker does not subject himself, or herself, to mob psychology. The Independent Thinker is a traveler on the road that leads to new ideas, concepts and innovations.The Independent Thinker does not partake in the by-laws and defensive rules and regulations that shackle The Crowd in its many different forms.The Independent Thinker operates outside the boundaries of group thinking and is a creator, a visionary, a dreamer. The Independent Thinker is the Lone Wolf that starts the wheel of change and innovation into motion.Independent Thinkers suffer the brunt of ridicule, criticism and discreditment only to be eventually proven correct, and worshipped as a hero, once their ideas and innovations are accepted by the mainstream of society. It is the Independent Thinker who is the David that smites the Goliath of mass stagnation and eventually improves a business, a life style, a society, a nation and a world.Our ancestors, we ourselves, and our posterity owe everything we enjoy, have enjoyed, and will enjoy to the Foresight and Awareness of the Independent Thinker.Each one of us is bestowed with the Divine Gift of Independent Thinking. However, until we choose to use our Free Will to experience this Divine Gift it will lie dormant within us.To embrace Independent Thought is to travel the "road less traveled". We will not "enjoy" the company of groups and crowds along the Way. But in the end we will enjoy the peace and contentment that comes with knowing that we are truly the Masterof our Mental and Spiritual Domains.

Everything being stated in this blog, is something that is very true, for every human being on this planet. We always let the media, people around us, or what we see on T.V. to play a role in who we become. If we start letting this happen when we are young children, we will grow up never knowing who we really are. To not let anyone influence our dicisons, and be who we are and be an independent individual, we really can be happy with ourselves and the lives we choose to live.
