Welcome to my semi-charmed life...

Reaching out
I guess you can say I"m a little upset today. Sometimes it really bothers me to see some people so into their comfort zones, its like, they don't even try. Life isn't about living for yourself, sometimes you need to reach out because there are people out there that need you. Just closing your eyes and pretending something is not there is not going to make it go away. In fact, I would call it a selfish way of living. I know its hard and uncomfortable but you might be missing an opportunity to help someone or even yourself, you just don't know it. Even something as small as a "hi" can make all the difference. The Lord says that those who are strong should help the weak and not give into self-indulgence. He also encouraged us to keep doing good work, for in God's time, you will see that it was all worth it and it is part of your purpose.


Be Confident, Be yourself
Its a thing to be inspired or influenced by someone but it shouldn't take away your own uniqueness. Our society places too much emphasis on being like "people" we see on T.V or in any type of media. We're so busy trying to imitate other people. They have ad campaigns like "Be like Mike!" but I say, "Be yourself". Know yourself, what are your strengths, your weaknesses, your likes or dislikes. God designed you as an individual with your own set of characteristics. Like a finger print, no one has the same. Comparing yourself to somebody else is a complete waste of time and it will blind you from seeing yourself. If you say, Celine Dion is such a great singer, I want to sing just like her! and you keep trying and trying to reach that high note with no prevail. Maybe then your gift lies elsewhere BUT that doesn't mean you're any less. Everyone has strengths, find out what they are and try your best, Be yourself.
