Hey friends!
I know I haven't been on here much lately! I just wanted to give a life re-cap and then discuss the topic for today. First of all, I would like to say that college is amazing. I've only been here for two months and I can already tell you that it's been the best 60 days of my life. I am continually learning new things about not only myself, but also other people around me. I love being independent, out on my own, and growing in myself. What a blessing it is to call this place my new home and have such amazing new friends. High School was fun, but I am glad to have moved onto the next chapter of my life.
Todays topic of discussion is growing in yourself and looking forward.
Lately I have been thinking about my life on a deeper level. Midterms have been probably the biggest disappointment ever. Not having things go exactly how you expected them to is hard to accept. However, I personally, have been training myself to just keep looking forward. You see, thats what I think so many of us struggle with. I think that we should all try to evaluate our lives at some time, change a few things for the better, and keep moving. This concept isn't limited to just school, relationships, or even with your best friends. Knowing how to keep striving and being positive can increase our well-being. It can make us better people in the long run, with a burning reason to just keep seeking the best. For example, when I got a low grade on an exam, I decided to take it as a way for me to find new ways of studying and learning that I've never thought of before. Although it is hard to except the fact that I am struggling in some areas of my life, I have chosen to keep moving with what I was given by improving my mistakes. If all else fails, I keep my eyes on my goals and purpose in life. The only way we will truly grow is to fail a few times, pick up the broken pieces, and then mold them back together to be even better/stronger. This sense of looking forward in life will increase our happiness and ability to see growth in our daily lives. So whether or not what I wrote to you made sense or not, I just want you to remember this: Are you looking back, when you should be looking forward? Just promise me you will never let the past negatively impact your future success.
