Growing
It’s been a while since I last posted an entry.
Over the past few months, I feel that I have grown into and have become more defined as an individual. I am more aware of my values and beliefs. Overall, I am more certain of myself.
Maybe this is the typical age (22) for that realization to occur. I know that life is a continuous growing process, but I recognize the growth at this time in my life more than ever.
A few things I have learned:
1. Writing things down is essential to reaching my goals.
2. The world is a playground: instruments for creativity are everywhere.
3. Society’s rules don’t have to be convoluted, they just are at the moment and will continue to be so until we do something about it.
4. The only way to live is with optimism, unafraid of opinion.
5. A relationship should only contribute to your happiness and knowledge of self.
6. It is important to live each day to its fullest potential. This diminishes fear of failure, missed opportunities, dependence, and mortality.
7. Complaining is useless, it’s better to understand the cause of distress and use creative instruments to imagine a solution.
8. Anything is achievable.
9. Everyone has something beautiful to offer.
10. It’s easy to make people feel good: compliment them, address their needs unselfishly. It only takes a small amount of effort. The positivity generated is well worth it.
11. Every person on Earth is as confused as you are when it comes to understanding reality: never judge anyone’s perceptions or beliefs, they are valuable insights for developing your own interpretation.
12. Take pictures, Take video, record audio: documentation is invaluable.
I’m sure there’s a million more life lessons I have instilled in my head. I’m also sure that a million more are to come.
I appreciate every person that has contributed to my knowledge of self, including family and friends.
