My thoughts and feelings on what happened in Paris over the weekend, are that its ridiculous. I don't understand the whole process of trying to 'take over the world'. Some people have different beliefs, never in life, is everyone in the whole world going to agree on the same things and beliefs, i just don't understand why that is such a problem to others... You cannot force people to do things your way, what so ever. The only thing we can do about this threat, is be prepared and ready for them to attack again, its clear that they will not stop unless we stop them. It is so sad war and such things have to happen, because of ignorant cruel people like that. We should all just let each other live and be happy and live how we want too, you can't interfere on others lives just because you don't agree with how they live. My biggest fear is losing my mom, and change. I am so attached to my mom, she is the only reason why i'm contemplating if i truly want to go to central or not, if i get accepted. Being away from here for too long gives me anxiety, and i guess that's just because we have been through a lot together and she is my rock. My second biggest fear is change... I absolutely love an everyday routine, and when that changes, it also gives me anxiety.
AS much as i complain about things, i know i am so lucky to have all that i do and that some people aren't as fortunate.One major thing i'm thankful for is my sister, no matter how annoying she is, or rude, she has been my best friend since birth. She understands me, and all that i deal with on a regular basis, and she is always there for me no matter what. I'm very thankful for my job, also. I complain about that place probably more than anything, but ill be the first to admit i actually love it there. Work is stressful for everyone sometimes, and that's where that comes from. I'm thankful i met the people i did there, and i'm thankful i have a job and money, where some people can't find a job. Lastly, i'm very thankful for my baby cousin, Gabriella RoseMarie, her middle names is a combination of mine and my sisters. She will be one next month, and any chance she gets she puts a huge smile on my face. She is so goofy and funny, and i love her personality more than ever.
Apologizing over text is pitiful to me. Im sorry but typing now and days is the only way any of us know how to communicate. I will admit it, all of us hide behind a keyboard but 99% could never actually admit what you've done, or say sorry to someone in person. Its awful. Im guilty of social media, and a lot of us are. But i truly believe it has made the generation today, awkward, shy, and many of us have no communication skills. It is very sad. I have apologized over text before, and to be honest.. many times it wasn't sincere. It'd a lot easy to type it and be like "yeah whatever" than say it in person and the whoever your apologizing too, knows you really truly don't mean it. If you truly feel sorry, and want to apologize to someone, a text isn't the way. Its the coward way.
2 traits that i definitely need to work on from the article, are most definitely honest feedback. I cant stand to make people upset or hurt their feelings, which in return i'm always giving the benefit of the doubt, always. Which probably isn't the best trait to have, simply because people will never get honest feedback, or could take extreme advantage of it. It is super important for people to get honest feedback, so they can fix mistakes and keep getting better and better with what they are doing. Second, i really need to learn to have better judgement. I just want to have trust and hope in everyone, therefor i feel everyone deserves a few changes, rather than just one. My judgement just inst the best, mainly because i want to believe everyone has a good heart and soul, but mostly because i trust way too easily, and im very naive.
In John Maxwell's article, There is one point that really truly speaks out to me. It is the first one.. "listen to yourself". This to me, means if you are not happy and you're going through everyday life, still not happy, pretty much living the same day over and over again, do something about it. Your mind knows you are not happy, therefor fix it. I'd rather have regrets than what ifs. If you do nothing to fix this and your happiness, you will go through life, constantly miserable.Also, the other one is "pay the price". Just because you love something doesn't mean its going to be all peachy and you wont run into any issues, you will. You will have to sacrifice things to do what you love. Sacrifice comes with everything. The main part is, you have to be willing to sacrifice things, to do what you love and have passion for, just because you love it so much.
"The difference between winning and losing is most often not quitting." --Walt Disney. This is a very wise quote from Walt Disney. It means you can either give up or keep trying. This reminds me of over a year ago when i started my first job at national coney island, and i really struggled. It was alot of multitasking and I felt very overwhelmed. It seriously took me like a month to get a hold of it. Now im alot better at it. I can multitask and not let myself get really stressed out. The whole point of this quote is saying to never give up, and that's exactly what i did when it came to my job. I'm very happy there now and proud of myself that i stuck it out.
One of my best memories from freshman year is going ice skating at campus Mauritius in Detroit. Me and my friend went together and it was super fun! we spent most of the time in the little coffee shop because we kept falling and my biggest fear is getting my finger sliced open. Another i have done is visit the Heidelberg project in Detroit. Also, my freshman year I went there and seen all the houses, it is actually very cool and kind of creepy. The house with the dolls was my favorite, it was so uniquely put together, even though it is creepy. I also have visited the Detroit zoo, it has many animals, last time i visited there was a baby giraffe. Lions are my favorite animals there, although i think zoos are so cruel, simply because animals should be in the wild where they belong in their natural environments.
Being a positive role model is very important, you're never going to get anywhere with a negative attitude. Life is all about how you perceive it. Also, you never want to show others a constant negative attitude, no matter what anyone says, you catch onto things that others do when you're around them so much, being negative isn't a good thing to catch onto. A very good quality to have is communication. Think about it, if instead of yelling and getting all mad and worked up over a situation, it would be resolved so much sooner and better/nicer if everyone just worked on their communication towards others. Being yourself is huge.. I personally am a very shy person, it takes me a little to warm up to people around me. When i first started work a year ago in the restaurant business, i was so shy and scared. I didn't want to be myself because i didn't want others to judge me. A year and a couple months later, now here i am, being myself at work and having so much fun with the others. My work is a place i enjoy very much, i actually have a lot of fun at work and that's awesome, just because a lot of people cant say that.
This quote means, you either make yourself have a good day, or you can let obstacles ruin your day. This is something i really need to work on with myself.. telling myself it could be worse. This quote says you have the power to make yourself happy, or the power to be miserable. Why would you want to be sad, when you have the ability to be happy? put aside all your problems and issues and just relax, and put it in gods hands. This quote really shows you, how much control you have over your own mood. I'm not saying you're going to be happy and positive all days everyday, because some days just suck, but i'm saying have the best days possible, at your own control.
