Life seems so confusing at times. I have all this information jumbled in my head and I don't know what to do with it or how to sort it out. How can you help someone that doesn't want the help? How can you teach someone who doesn't want to be taught? You can't. Yet, I feel like that is what I live my life doing - helping and teaching those who reject it. All the while I have so much of my own happening - work, school, preparations, etc. No one holds my hand. I don't want anyone to hold my hand.
Why is it in society that there are so many people who just want things done for them? They think life and the steps of life should be as easy as going to sleep at night and having knowledge or "luck" imparted into them during their sleep. They want results but they are not willing to put in the work and effort needed to acquire those desired results. Then, when they realize that they actually have to put some effort into whatever they are trying to accomplish, they get pissed or discouraged the moment that the "little effort" is not enough. Yet here I sit - I work my ass off at my job, at my studies, at my life.... I don't think I'm intelligent enough to get into medical school - I mean I look at my biology book and my brain goes "ahhh ahhh ahhh....shut down" - but I am working and striving and pressing on because I know its what I want. I don't take no for an answer.
Take weight for an example. So many people say "I'm tired of being fat" yet all they do is sit, eat chips, drink soda and watch tv. Sure, they may be out to do errands, they may be tired...but aside from day-to-day activities, they do not really do anything. I can't stand people like that. If you are truly tired of the way you look then get off your ass and do something about it. Take a walk. Start working out. Put down the soda. Change something. Change yourself. Or stop bitching about it. I am overweight -a lot of it due to medication - but I still am. So in November I decided I was done with it. I changed everything I ate, changed everything I drank and started working out. Now that school has stated, I am getting up an hour or so earlier than what I was used to just so I could continue working out. Its hard. I don't want to get up before 615, but I force myself to. And I was rewarded for changing my life. I dropped 3 pants sizes in 7 weeks because of the small changes I made. I know that the next 3 are not going to be as easy, but it doesn't matter my size, it matters that I am healthy.
People, life is what you make of it. You can have dreams and if you sit around and do nothing about them that's all they are going to remain...fantasies. However, if you want your dreams to be reality- they can be that too but you have to work for it. You have to put every ounce of blood, sweat and tears into your dreams to make it a reality. You will get knocked down. You will get discouraged. You will get rejected. Don't allow yourself to quit. Even if you start believing its a hopeless cause- don't quit. Don't give up. Don't even stop the momentum. In fact, speed up the momentum. Work harder. Work faster. Dream bigger. That's how people get "weeded " out. Dreams come true for the ones that deserve it. For the ones that strive for it. It's your dream. It's your life. Nothing worth having is ever easy. You must put everything you have into what you want. It will hurt! It will be painful. You will bleed. You will cry. You will tire. But that's what makes it worth it.
Press on my loves.
