I used to look at the world differently growing up. I was programmed at a very early age, that only one truth existed and yielded the results that I felt to be my salvation and path to eternal happiness. Now after my personal hardest life challenges over the past few years, I am finally starting to realize that life has more than one pathway to take to get to one's dreams and eternal destination. Adversity can be a tough crowd to convince, but well worth it in the end. I've listened to various teachers and philosophical speakers about their views and beliefs through the years. Now I feel it is time for me to formulate my own from a solid foundation based on my past experiences and current knowledge. Wisdom doesn't come easily, and can only be found when seeked out. And yes, I realize that I just made a clerical error in according to proper English language, but I'm not trying to be perfect any longer. I now understand that we have to be able to let some of the little things go to find out own passions and righteousness.
I always looked up to people that had confidence that I seemed to be lacking, but now I realize that sometimes in doing so we make the mistake of sacrificing par of who we truly are in doing so. I've come to believe that there is beauty in true confidence that is like cultivating a healthy thriving plant or flower. We will always face negativism and such, but the most challenging part seems to be not letting this element break us down completely. In doing so, we would be forfeiting our individuality and personal rights that our founding fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, etc, sacrificed so much for us to be able to live free in America. I realize that freedom can be taken away just as easily as it is given now, and I personally pledge to never again compromise this privilege that our country was founded on. I understand that we fought for our freedoms and not for the goal of defeat, yet unification.
These days we seem to forget this and appear to still be holding onto past grudges and inner turmoil that has yet to clear the air. Finding lasting peace for pit country will take each and every one of us contributing a part in any way we can and feel driven towards. I do realize that we have become so accustomed to using violence or threats to establish peace in the past, but does it really always have to come down to using this method?
I get that it is necessary to have the proper defense mechanisms established and in check constantly, for it is apparent to me now that we never truly will know when the next catastrophe of toxic minds will come into play out of hatred, but lets not forget that hate breeds hate and love breeds love. I personally am one among many that truly believes love will win in the end and that love is what conquers evil, as hatred. I am hopeful that we will realize soon enough, the big difference between what can be more acceptable as "right" and "wrong", or "bad" verses "good", o determine a more compromising behavior system. I am one that doesn't underestimate the benefits of a reward system and checks and balances, and after my own personal experiences with punishment, I have begun to understand the rewards in this concept as well.
The time has come now I feel, that I go on my way to becoming independent and self driven to master my own inner talents and passions. I will always look back at the learning lessons with appreciation and gratitude. I've felt others pain and anguish, happiness and determination, brilliance and ignorance, fear and grief. I am better well rounded at this point, and would like to let go of the negativity I used to hold onto in the past, which I'm well aware now how to let go and release toxic thoughts and feelings. I'm on my way of becoming self established and deem myself competent and wiser through my years of experimenting so many various thoughts and feelings. It is through these experiences that I gained such beauty inside and plan on using it towards helping our world become a better place,. As the famous saying goes, on hiatus......and carps diem is another one perfect for what I'm trying to say. Shining on and ongoing creativity has started expanding or breeding inside me. I would like to have the opportunity to expand on this side of my mind, yet I would like to also keep my logic mind fresh and sharp, and hope to find my own perfect balance once and for all. After all, some of us don't have it all figured out at an early age or target age, and some people do, and then there are those that may decide they want to explore both elements and decide for themselves or under proper guidance, to be able to find their own inner beauty and talents. I know I'm only one person, but I feel as though I stand for many people when I say that this will propose a good change in the right direction when differing minds come together more harmoniously, yielding the best outcome for future generations to come. Come together America and God bless this wonderful country that we have all been brought together....unification and creativity for positive change is my idea of the best way to go from here. Peace:)
