Make today the beginning of your tomorrow
Today I am taking control! I am being the best me that I can be and living my life the best I know how. I am no longer waiting for something better to come my way as I have taken control of the reigns and I'm leading this expedition toward self awakening! You too can get to this point in your life -- you just have to want it bad enough and work for it. You can't get anywhere sitting back and taking handouts and expecting that it will just happen. Granted, life does "just happen" when you're sitting around watching your TIVOed programs. However, is that truly the life you want to live? A vapid existence of self disillusionment filled with re-runs of the Orange County Housewives and the latest version of American Idol? I can call you out and judge you because I was once where you are. I did what you are doing now and trust me it is no life that I will ever go back to. To wake up, go to work, come home and veg out on the sofa and then go to bed just to do it all over again the next day. The endless drinking and smoking and and staying out late partying with people who I have no idea even know me or to that fact even like me. I was among the nameless masses of drones walking this earth with no real purpose or idea of what I wanted to do with my life. It seems like a lot to think about, but it's really a lot easier than you think and sometimes it's as simple as having someone say, "Hey, would you like to hang out today?" Do something different today... Do one thing different than you would normally do with your day... Just one small change. It can be as little as not taking that second helping of tuna salad for lunch or picking up a piece of trash and throwing it away. Deciding to walk the 10 minutes to the office rather than driving or introducing yourself to someone new and maybe going for an afternoon walk around the office with a buddy. Little things... These little things add up my friends and soon they become apart of your life and who you are. They build upon each other and you start incorporating all these things into your life and they change you -- they make you a better person. One thing that I made a conscious effort to change was my lack of recycling. It's sooo important to recycle and to keep our world clean and growing so that our children don't have to clean up after our messes. I no longer wanted to be apart of the problem, rather part of the solution and the group of people who work for change. The little thing I took up was having a recycling bin right off my back door where I keep the garbage. I keep a pile of recyclables and then dump them daily into the bin I designated just for them. So I challenge you today... EDUCATE YOURSELVES!!! Find out what little thing you want to do and then learn about what that so called "little" thing is and own it. Learn about the effects your actions will have on others and in the larger scheme of things, the world. Alone we can only do so much, but together we can all achieve great things!
