The uphill fight

Lately i’ve been extremely down emotions wise, very not myself and having a even harder time finding things to even think about writing.

But then I got to thinking and found out the reason why. Sometimes I notice that i’ll get very dissapointed in the results of my efforts and start to head down the road of giving up and being depressed without being actually depressed.

So my solution to such a problem is 1st. I pray, then I look at how much I have accomplished. Then I continue on my fight with the knowledge of i’ve come so far and I can continue on.

The uphill fight may never be easy, but it does get easier when you stop and realize how much you’ve already achieved and how close your actual goal is.

Over achieve to achieve

Monday
May 19,2008

My Firefox browser is setup to display iGoogle as my homepage and on there I have this section that has quotes of the day. So today I get online and look around and the quote for today was this

It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.
- Arnold Toynbee

I sat for a good amount of time reading that quote and saying to myself it is so very true. Many times when we set our sites on something and we aim towards it we end up a tad bit lower than what we aimed for. Today was a very interesting day for me. One in which I learned alot about myself, about my goals and priorities and what my limits are. I learned that I can’t do anything alone, or without the help of God.. and yes I am religious I prefer to do things by example than to preach to someone. But back to the point. In life we have to take risks, sometimes fall down to get back up. Sometimes we have to be broken to be fixed.

Achieve to be something you never thought to be before and you will reach where you really want to be. Keep your head up and never give up. Everything that we do doesnt go wasted, it builds our character and personalities. It speaks a story to all those watching us.

Never Give Up..

Competition and success

Thursday
May 1,2008

So at my job I’m required to be a person who is pretty much never satisfied, mainly because it deals in sales. Upfront to the point sales with people 5 minutes ago you didnt know at all. My question is how does one be such a person and still maintain a calm collected personality. Why I ask this is because i’ve seen people literally fall apart from working in such a situation.

Over the past 3 weeks I’ve come to realize that life is much more than just being a good person. Its about maintaining that image and always doing whats right. Outside in the real world life isn’t going to keep its view about who you are if you say your a good person, do a few good deeds then go off and do someone else wrong.

Success is misunderstood. How did I come up with this you ask? Well simple success isn’t beating someone to a goal, its about teamwork and becoming the best within your team, not on your own.

So my question for my readers is this.. Do you think you can compete and still be successful?

Funny moments bring out the best

Tuesday

I’m so sorry that i haven’t updated my blog in so long i could’ve honestly thought I did. But heres whats been going on with me recently. I’m on my 3rd week at this job and things seem to be looking up. On saturday a friend and I went to see Harold and Kumar escape from guantanamo bay as well ass Street Kings.

Harold and Kumar was just way too hilarious, had me laughing so hard I was crying. Stomach was hurting from how hard I was laughing in that movie. Grade A film I can say.

Street Kings on the other hand was intense. Lots of action and to me there wasn’t a dull moment ever. The actors were all outstanding in there roles.

All of this has made me think even more about the meaning of life. The funny, happy, joyous moments we experience everyday take away our stresses and our woes. They brighten us up and help us to face the challenges of life with a renewed strength.

From this lesson my advice is, enjoy life to the fullest. Give thanks for health and strength even when things seem to be just so gloomy. Because just by doing this life will reward us with so much more.
