Life's Test

Life is always challenging us to try our hardest despite what maybe going on in our lives.
Life is like a race, it just doesn't slow down and let you catch up you've got to be on top of your life because if you let your self slip you'll fall behind.
Even though life can be very demanding and fast paced we mustn't take upon ourselves more than we can handle, because if we do we'll become overwhelmed and not have any time to relax.
In life there needs to be a balance between work and relaxation, if we have to much work we'll be overwhelmed and start to lose focus of our main goals, but if we relax to much we allow things to slip by more easier than when we where alert and working.
Ultimately in life we must learn the right time relax versus the time for work and the only way we'll learn is through experience.

Stress

Stress is one of the parts of life that can't be avoided, and instead of letting stress take control of our lives   we need to be able  learn how to cope with it.
I believe that the best way on managing our stress is figuring out what causes us the most stress.
Once we have determined what causes us the most stress we need to figure out ways to deal or cope with our stress whether it be reading a book ,or going for a walk it's really all up to you.
To sum it all up my main point, that I'm trying to get across is don't let stress take over your life, because if you do stress will wrap itself around you and you'll soon find yourself trapped with no easy way to get out.

In With The New, Out With The Old

There is a well known saying, in with the new and out with the with the old.
I feel as if many people in our society misinterpret it's meaning.
I believe that to truly understand it's meaning you've got to consider it's full meaning rather than interpreting it literally.
No one knows what the future  holds in store for us, the world is a changing place.
New innovations are made and before we know it the things that where the hottest item become outdated and many people forget about that item and move on.
The reality of it all is that the items that become outdated are still able to perform similar task just not as fast.
So as a society I  think we need to take a step back in our lives and appreciate the older things we have.
Rather than just buying what is hot perhaps we should buy something older just because the newer products claim to be better that doesn't mean that they are.

The Story Of My Life

As each day passes I watch as the clouds slowly drift away into the far away distance.
I often wonder where they maybe heading and when they reach their destination what will happen to them.
Like anything in life, everything has a story that goes along with it and I often wonder what my story will be.
Will I become a writer and write editorials in a newspaper or will I drift away from writing and do something completely different?
The story of my life is still unfolding and it is rapidly changing, I can't just dedicate all of my time  to focus on one particular goal I have to look at a range of opportunities and explore what the world has to offer.
It's just like a cloud when you see one , the sky  you just assume that eventually rain will fall from it for all we know that cloud could have been up in that sky since the late 1990's.
The stories of our lives can never be predetermined because at any moment our lives could change forever, so I leave you with but a question what will the story of your life be?
Will you live an earnest life and be remembered for all the good you have done?
Or will you live a life filled with anger and be remembered for the bad things you do?

Sucess

If success was easy to come by then the world would be a very different place.
Life would be a lot easier for we wouldn't have to work for anything and everything would just be handed right to us.
As any person would, taking the easy way out of life would be a whole lot easier than making life to complicated.
Some people may argue that that's the way they want to live, and of course that's all up to them to decide how they live but personally I highly disagree with that life style.
For I believe that success shouldn't just be a given entirety  it's something far more meaningful than it is preserved to be in our society.
success is a monumental part of our lives and without it life would be to boring .
I mean when you think of it in the other perspective say everything was handed to us and we didn't have to do anything where would we be?
Say we wanted an iPhone all we would have to do is say the word and it would appear.
That's not who we are, wouldn't rather work for something and know that you accomplished it rather than just being given what you wanted to create?
There's more sense of pride if you accomplished the task yourself and in turn the feeling of success would endure in us throughout the rest of our lives.

On The Road To Becoming An Eagle Scout

The night before I began my eagle scout project I found myself amidst a nerve racking feeling.
I was worried that I was going to screw up some how, or not enough people would show up to help.
I had some perspective on how I was going to approach the project to a degree,  but I was still uncertain about different aspects of the project itself.
Before I  knew it  morning came and I could feel butterflies filling inside of me.
When arrived at the site I began to unload the supplies and a sense of relief filled inside of me and I knew everything would turn out fine as long as I lead the group to the best of my ability.
After the project commenced I soon realized that I  had psyched myself out to much the night before and the project was much easier than I had expected.
So ultimately I learned from this experience to not psyche myself out to much because if I do it effects not only me but those around me.

The Mind's Perception

Life is your guardian, it's under your command to decide where you go.
There are something's in our past that we wish to forget about; when in reality our past is what makes us stronger.
Sometimes when we look into the mirror we see past our reflection.
We become insecure about ourselves and feel as if we must change ourselves "to fit in."
Our sub conscience makes us believe that ugly is the compliment we deserve.
We are never willing to except who we are and we just live off of our insecure nerve.
 If look you  into a mirror and say that I want to be perfect and that I want to change myself just to fit in, your heading down the wrong path because why strive to be perfect when you can just be yourself?

Leave No Trace

A cold breeze swept across my face causing a chill to shoot down my spine.
In the distance I could hear the echo of ocean waves crashing onto the sea shore.
I look towards the sky and was blinded by the suns brilliance.
I observed my surroundings and noticed an object immersed beneath the sand.
As I got closer I could begin to make out what appeared to be a cylinder like object.
When I had gotten to the object I knelt down and started to dig the object out of the ground.
The grains of sand smoothly went across my hand as I continued to dig.
 The object  appeared to be some sort of jar like object, it was hard tell what exactly it was due to the fact that the sheathing was covered in sand.
I picked up the object and it was much heavier than I had expected.
I felt the around the object until I found a crevasse which I presumed to be a lid and open up the object.
In cased with in the  object I found a piece of paper with writing on it that read:
Take only photo's, but leave no footsteps behind.
At first glance I didn't understand what the saying had meant but as I began to think more and more about it I was shocked to realize its deep meaning.
From my understanding it meant that to leave no trace of you being there and that ultimately don't change the environment in which your in.
Ever since that day I always reflect back upon it, and wonder who could of left that jar there and why?
I have came to the conclusion that perhaps that jar was placed there on purpose and that one day  a person was meant to find it and share it's words of wisdom.
