Change!

"Be the change you want to see in the world"
-Mahatma Ghandi

Can you imagine what it must be like to have love in the world instead selfishness or hatred?
          In today's society it is sad to say, that it is hard to see a change in the world when we cannot even change ourselves. It all starts in the home, the way we treat our brothers, sisters, and our parents. If we cannot even be nice to our own family which is something so little, then how can we change something so big. What if we saw change? The question is "what if", the answer for that is for us to make a stand, to make the right decisions, and to want to see change! How about instead of just saying "what if" let us become proactive and show others that we can.
          No matter how you see this situation of wanting to change, it all depends on the choices you make. In order for us to change we must have the desire to give up a big characteristic that every human being deals with, and that characteristic is called selfishness. We cannot continue the way we live by being selfish and still trying changing the world, but by changing the world we must become selfless. "The trouble with most people is that every time they think, they think of themselves." 
          Have you every had someone in your family ask you for a favor and you do it for them, but when it comes for them doing you a favor they say they can't because of some lame excuse. For example, I had a relative ask me if I can give him a ride to some place to pick up his car. I had told him that I was busy, but in reality I had nothing going on. A couple of minutes later my conscience had kicked in and it had hit me like a ton of bricks, "he has done so much for me the least I could to repay him back was give him a ride there". During that time I realized how selfish I was which is why till this day I try my hardest to be selfless when it comes to helping others in the situations they're in. So in the end I gave him a ride to the auto center.
          It does not hurt to become selfless when in return you can gain so much prosperity. Remember the way to change the world is to be the example, humble yourselves before others, show selflessness, and provide love for them. Always be happy because happiness is a healthy mental attitude, a grateful spirit, a clear consciences, and a heart full of love.

Distractions We Face
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyheJ480LYA

          Everyday is a constant battle of distraction that come into life. The characters in this skit all represented distractions that we face. There is the boyfriend(or if you are the boy, the girlfriend), the money/greed, the drinking and parting, trying to become like models and doing whatever it takes to be like them, then Satan comes along and tells you to just give your life up because you have gone to far and there is no turning back. However, Jesus is still there never going to leave you. In this skit it shows how Christ never drifted away from us, but how we drifted away from him with the choices we made. In the end when we are ready to give up, Jesus comes in and sweep us off our feet, to carry our heavy burdens, and to show us with God ALL things are possible.
          I remember my Ex-girlfriend had me so distracted that my relationship with Christ had drifted. I felt like she was my main priority. I do not know if you have ever been in love, but when you are all you ever want to do is be with that person, spend time with them, talk about them and think about them. You feel like you are captured by that person and to be honest your okay with it.
          Distractions are everywhere in life whether it be by just hanging out with family, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, t.v, internet, cars, ect. It is our job to stay focused and to not lose sight of the prize. For those the prize may be getting a PH.D, graduating college, starting a family, finding a well paying job or just staying clean from drugs and alcohol. At the end of the day it is all about what we do and what we need to achieve goals and to stay focused on that prize!

Perception!

          Have you ever thought that what you see others may not see?What you may see is blue others may see as green. Our whole LIFE is based of perception are minds register everything we see once we see it.

          This picture shows how we all have different views about other and how we portray things. 

          People can act like there nothing, but then fool others and pack a punch. Never underestimate your opponent. This picture shows that we can strive to achieve anything we want. It all starts with a DREAM and blossoms into REALITY! We are what we want to become and the only way to become what we want is to be determined and motivated. Life is to short to be perceived as just another label. Only we know what we are capable of, it is always mind over matter. If you do not mind it does not matter. If I want something badly enough ill go that extra mile to get it.
