Pespective Matters

It is incredibly easy to see something as a roadblock in your life and just be shut down completely.  I had this happen recently with losing my apartment and job and having to reevaluate everything.  I know for a fact that I am definitely stuck in the loop of thinking negatively about this situation but that does not have to be the case.  I want to change my perspective and just take time to learn and grow that way my foundation is stronger.  One thing I can admit is that I never had a strong foundation I was living month to month on weak principles.  There is no structure in my life, and I need to grow to become better.  I thought to throw money at everything was a way to solve a problem, but it just stalled the problem until I ran out of money.  We have to deal with ourselves at some point in our lives and to do that we have to change our perspective.  I definitely can agree that this is a lower point in my life, but it has a great potential to improve how I see myself in general.  Happiness and joy are about perspective.  I am not always happy, but I AM TRYING TO ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY I HAVE RIGHT NOW.  The plan is that I will use this time to change my thinking about myself and see myself as someone who is excellent and deserving of great things.  I never felt like I deserved anything so most things I did get did not have any real value to me so it was never kept long.  I didn't see the value in myself, so I definitely could not value others which is a lousy perspective because it can push people away from you.  I have driven many people away with that same ideology of not having the right view when it comes to myself.  I have decided to change that about myself and see that I am probably not the same now as I was then.  I have to think consciously of what I am doing and what I am thinking/.  I have said this before, but thoughts become a reality.  I also have to start taking care of myself which I never did because I did not value myself.  I  only placed my own perception of happiness based on what other people thought of me, and that is not the right way to frame your mind because it leads to the point of loss of identity.  I believe the hardest part for me was to acknowledge that I am not a horrible person and that I am no better or worse than anyone else.  The actual value of myself is to have that strong foundation because that will last beyond anything that happens in my life.  To see my life as an opportunity and not as a burden.  That is all about the perspective of the situation we have.

Through the Storm

 The importance of showing that emotion has grown more important to me.  I get saddened by the news so much I got to the point that I just say “figures” when I hear something wrong.  I know that it does not figure, but I feel as though it is a defense mechanism for the scanning and suffering that people go through.  The worst aspects of people get displayed every day, yes, but I can not ever forget the good qualities of people as well.  The best conditions of people come from the tv as well. Why do some people stand out while others don’t?  I was always amazed at that principle that some people are willing to die to become something, while others are not.  We almost celebrate people whom are free and do not follow the same rules that everyone else has to follow.  We place them on this pedestal, and we call them better than us because we are stuck in our ways, and we can not change because we have to follow the rules.  I am one of those support the rules type of people, but I always a

What Is Life Raise?

Raise Life To The Next Level Life Raise is a principle that defines who I want to become.  I have a goal now to learn as much as possible and adapt those habits of people I want to become.  The Life raise is also a premise that started because I hated myself and was not happy.  I know that is not a great premise to start something, but it has to lead me to an understanding that I can change what I am.  I have trolled around most of my life meaninglessly without any real purpose or focus.  SOme things like school were accessible to me, so I did not focus on it much and still was able to do good.  I also do not know what my real end goal is yet and do not have a real five-year plan at all.  I know that I want to write as much as possible to get some understanding of my own thoughts.  That is the truth behind Life Raise, and it did not have significant beginnings, but it will have a high end.  It is os vital to me that the Life Raise message stands out because it is away from me to

What to do?

When I first started the post-college job hunt, I realized man I don’t know what I want to do.  I took a minute and thought about everything I said I liked doing and realized it was all nonsense.  I really had my mind made up of fake principles I developed as a way of protecting myself from other people.  I really thought my life goal was to die in some heroic way and something spectacular and meaningful, but I see now that I do not know what I should do.  When you work for something a while and realize that you hate it, after makes it seem like you wasted your time investing in the venture.  The difference between broke and rich people is the amount of money but the mindset that they had.  I recently was looking at this book, and it said there is a difference between fame and recognition.  If you want to be famous, it is a more personal and selfish goal.  If you’re going to have the credit, it is nobler and requires effort related to others.  I thought at that point I wanted to be rec
