“You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.”

- Jiddu Krishnamurti

Go and get your dreams even if they’re yours for only a little while. If you have them, hold onto them and pay a silent homage to your journey thus far and embrace what you have for as long as you have it. But understand, there’ll be new ones for you to pursue. Do so with vigor. For those of you still working toward your dreams, keep driving on. If you’ve tried and failed and tried and failed, conjure up any remaining “give a fuck” you have and don’t quit on your game plan – even if your game plan is only existing another day to form a new one. If you don’t know what your dreams are yet you aren’t underdeveloped or misguided. In fact, congratulations, in this moment you are one more closer to finding out whatever you want and whoever you will be. You’re a beautiful, capable, human being with a soul and a mind of your own and you are never incomplete while you are evolving. 

College – I’m a little shakey on things with Spanish class but I have plenty of time to pick it up before the end of the semester.  Darned verb confusion!  I started an accelerated Psychology of Child Abuse and Neglect class at the end of September and we read 3 chapters a week varying from 60-70 pages.  That many pages alone don’t sound too bad, but remember it is textbook reading and there’s note-taking and deep comprehension involved.  :) I’d rather be reading about this than many topics though so I’m well-pleased with the material and the coursework.

Work – I started a new job recently and it is going fantastic.  I’m excited to be there and doing what I’m assigned and find myself very happy to be there.  I’m learning so much and have a great team of management and co-workers.  Above all, it is a fun, healthy, fulfilling, and happy environment.  I see myself utilizing what I learn here in many aspects of my present everyday life and my future.  That’s incredibly important to me because I’ve been pushing myself to live purposefully and work diligently to make some of my goals happen more this year than ever before.

I celebrate my 27th birthday on Tuesday and I feel like this is going to be one of my more accomplished years in-the-making.  I’m excited!

Tomorrow: I am going to post something positive every hour for twelve hours. It could be a picture, video, news story, joke, message, bit of art, or it might ask for friend participation such as a general question open to all. If you see something you like then share it with your list. 

[I will be doing this on my Facebook, but at the end of the day will be sharing all 12 pieces on my blog.]
