Life Choices
Posted at 10:18 AM
To make things very clear, I just want to live a life where I can give back to the community but also enjoy what I do for the rest of my life. Putting a lot of thought into that, I have already decided I want to write for the rest of my life but I also want to have leisure time and contribute to society through volunteer work, non-profits, so and so.I've been looking to John Green for advice. I watched him talk about college, adulthood, and decisions through your college career. And yes, they are videos I've watched years ago from time to time, but I stumble onto it again. And no, I won't be doing one thing with my life.
People say life is short. On the grand scheme of things, that is true. In comparison to the length of the universe's existence, we are merely a split second of breath. This only disregards our own perception of time and how truly long it is.
I'm trying to incorporate more people into my life. Sure, I'll have many friends, but a few close friends. I want to be able to socialize with people of similar interests and motivated and determined individuals.
Also, I'm still trying to change myself into a better person. For weeks, I've been noting down my flaws and fears : (complaining too much, negative thinking patterns, fear of public speaking, etc, etc) and ways I can get myself out of my bubble everyday. And holy shit, it worked. Just needed to put my mind to in and keep constant discipline. So far, I've improved on my public speaking skills, I'm a more content and happy individual because I push away my negative cycle of thoughts, and life has improved greatly after I stopped complaining as much as I usually did. My motto now is to live in the moment, don't complain unless you are actively pursuing a solution so you can shut up afterwards, and to be open to embarrassing yourself so you can improve. Never forget to be compassionate and considerate to others and take care of yourself.
