i have tried like 10,000 times to get this blog across, i kept messing it up so i finally decided to just divide my thoughts into 10 points and then sum it all up at the end
1. u start out in life with many dreams, goals, and aspirations 2. over time we experience disappointment, heartbreak, hope deferred, etc. 3. these things begin to "attach" to us and drag us down and we lose sight of our original dreams, goals, and aspirations 4. u get to a point where u don't even realize just how much u have surrendered or given up in your life over time 5. quick example: if the government is talking about severely and permanently taxing the rich and it doesn't bother you at all, then perhaps u have given up on the thought of ever being rich 6. in ecclesiastes in the bible, solomon grew in wisdom to the point where he began to hate life.. in a sense you could say its like the inverse of ignorance is bliss.. perhaps you could say "with wisdom comes cynicism".. u begin life happy and hopeful and over time u end up cynical and angry 7. but how much are we surrendering by allowing our previous pains, frustrations, and failures to color our outlook? 8. yes the world is indeed imperfect, but has it taken away your license to be happy? ..ask yourself, "when was the last time i was happy?" "what were the things that made me happy?" "can i get these things back in my life?" "what would i need to feel complete?" 9. now that u have pondered that, the next thing is to believe, believe again that you can achieve happiness.. a person's actions are a result of their beliefs 10. now that you have allowed yourself to believe again, go after it again.. believe that you can change your situation and go out after it the main thing i wanted to say with this is this: we start out happy and optimistic, then life beats the crap out of us and we begin to stop hoping and having faith and due to that we remain stuck in a goldfish bowl when in reality the sea is still there i don't think life is #1 because ultimately the most important thing is the afterlife and to pursue heaven, but still, try to still have faith and hope on earth take your faith, hope and belief back ask yourself, are you a worrier or a warrior? peaCe
