TIP FOR THE WEEK

Happy Sunday everyone! My tip for this week actually comes from something that just happened to me not too long ago. 

BE IN CONTROL OF YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES!

Why say that? You have the power to CHOOSE to let people get to you. Now, I have a shoot first, ask later mentality which bothers me. I’ve been focused on not letting little things and little people bother me. However, when it feels like I am making progress, I allow myself to get pulled right back in. I need to control my impulses and I know I’m not the only one who does that reacts hastily. 

I’m trying and growing every single day. I got knocked one step backwards today, but that just means I have that much more ground to make up- and I know I will :) Have a good week everyone!

Perspectives

Sometimes, things happen and it makes me re-think everything. Today, I went to a funeral for a dear friend and family member. Seeing him laying there just made me think about how short our time on earth really. People die everyday, but when it’s someone close to you, you think “omg, this is gonna be me one day.” There’s no ifs ands or buts about it. 

So, you think- have I been the best friend, girlfriend, student, employee I can be? Have I done what I wanted to do? Why not? They’re all really simple questions with simple answers. I’m upset with myself because it shouldn’t take the death of someone else to make me sit down and think. We’re all so selfish and walking around like this doesn’t exist, that when you are faced with death, it makes us react. I shed a couple tears and went numb after that. 

Now, it’s spending time with those that you love and those who love you. Live everyday to the fullest and never go to bed angry. You never know if you’ll wake up the next morning. Thank whomever you pray to that you are in the spot you’re in for there’s always someone in a worse spot. Live up everyday and make all your dreams happen. Make your life mean something and don’t let things just happen to you- there are plenty of people who would love the chance at life again. Do it right while you have the chance. :0)
