ya know? I'm in a super good mood right now and I'm usually in at the least a good mood about 90 percent of the time, and lately I've realized that for many people around me they can't truly say the same. Many of my peers spend a lot of energy using their brains to toss back and forth situations in which they can maybe influence at best but are ultimately out of their control. Some people I know spend so much time asking why, when really they should be letting it go and getting on with the next thing. I was at youth group this past week and one of the notes that the speaker highlighted was "The right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing". This is the probably the most true statement I've ever heard and it applies to each and every one of our lives. As much as you wish that guy could make you smile right now, at this time in your life you may have too much going on within your heart and your mind to truly have a healthy friendship or relationship,so what do you think that guy is going to do to change it? Yea he'll throw some words at you and make you feel good about yourself, but what happens when he's busy or your phone runs outta battery? At the end of the day you're stuck with yourself and we gotta make sure that as humans our aspirations are in the correct place first. All in all I believe that this pivotal point within our lives (especially seniors) should be embraced as a time to really evaluate what's important to us and make some positive steps forward so that we may start to create the person that we want to influence the rest of this world. Many of those that are considered great people of this earth are those that found something within themselves worth chasing after and took hold of it. They had faith that they'd get there and they persevered over any challenges that stood in their way. So what stops us young people from being great today? I thinks it's about time we all start looking within ourselves instead of looking in our parents, our friends, and the media. We have been created with the capacity to do great things, so let's get on it shall we? Find something true to you and make it beautiful.
