I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's no better feeling than knowing you are right where you are supposed to be. I was getting nervous; wondering if I was working as hard as I should have been. To tell the truth I'm doing well. I met with quite a few people this week and I enjoyed them as much as I think they enjoyed me. I'm learning a lot from the people who have been brought to me and I thank God for those special people.
For a long time I thought it was the city with the problems and issues but I realized this week that it's the mentality of it's residents that need enlightening. I should have known all along but I was looking from the wrong point of view. The hope has been run right out of this place, multiple reasons are to blame, I'm sure. I really don't think that's the important part though. I think the question is… how do we fix it? I honestly feel there are people and entities around that are trying to change that. I'm going to let them do what they can do, while I will do what I can do. Our efforts aren't manifested in the same way but we'll see what works and what doesn't.
I was struggling, trying to find time for this and for that. I caught myself saying several times this week, that I just didn't have anytime anymore. I realize now that I better get used to it. I realize that this will be my life. Giving myself to others for their advancement and me being fulfilled in the end, seeing the way they grow and take more from life. This is what I've wanted and I've been doing it all along. Every time I open my mouth to start a conversation. Every time I'm in a bad mood but smile at the stranger in passing anyway. This is my hobby. People.
I don't know where this passion came from, my dad says it's in my blood. Some might say it was God or the way I was brought up. I feel it's a combination of all those things. What a perfect way to spend life. Getting to know others on a personal level and help them see that their dreams don't have to be ignored. They don't have to stay where they are, they can elevate their minds, spirits, along with the amount of money in their pockets. I encourage you to dare to dream. Don't be like the rest of those who are scared to. Don't be afraid to work hard for what you want. How else will you enjoy it when you reach that goal?
I have been given every reason in the world to not care; to be like the rest. I just can't do it. I'm a dreamer. I've seen the way a little faith and discipline can mold my life for the better. I like it here, where I am on this journey but I know this is nowhere near the end of the road. It excites me to think about what will come next. It can only get better, I won't settle for less.
