I have learned so much in the past 24 hours. Even right now, I'm learning that each day is a lesson waiting to happen. Every day that God gives us is another opportunity to learn and grow and become the person that He has destined us to be.
Yesterday, I learned, from a very dear friend, to be my own blessing. I can be my best and worst of everything. I can be my best friend and my worst enemy. I can be my best motivation, and I biggest disappointment. I can be my own success and I can drive myself into failure. I know all of these things and I am learning how to combat my negative self.
I realized yesterday, that I am still a kid. I still need much guidance in many things in my life. I have a tendency to give up on things quite easily. I have to learn to persevere through things that I may not want to. I may feel discouraged, but I must learn how to pick myself up, dust myself off, and go on with whatever i need to do. God has placed people in my life to help me with these things, but ultimately, it is my life, and my decision to either get up, or crawl into a corner and die.
I have been quite spoiled throughout my life. I am very grateful for the things I received growing up. The thing I am most grateful for is having my college education completely paid for. I owe exactly $0 to my institute of higher learning. But despite all the things I got, I missed out on some key values. I missed out on learning the value of hard work. Most things in my life have been handed to me. Maybe not on a silver platter, but they were placed right in front of my face. Sometimes I would take the opportunities, and other times, I would not. I had to recently learn that the "real world" that they had been warning me about doesn't work that way. Hard work is rewarded...sometimes... Sitting on your ass waiting for people to come to you is not...ever.
Those are my nuggets for today. God bless.
