let go.

I wonder how you don't let yourself feel the moment. I wonder how as soon as something "negative" happens you move towards solving the problem. You never feel sorry for yourself. Instead you put all the witnesses on the stand and one by one you take them down. You examine every situation and make sure to the best of your ability that you cover all aspects. You fly when others fall.

but you can let go, because there is beauty in a breakdown.

because flying is overrated at times.

Turn It Around.

Today I was thinking about all the countless hours I have been complaining, regardless of what it is. It has been a waste of time. All those hours could have been put towards something that is actually of good use. I have been so miserable that I have forgot how great my life really is. I guess sometimes I feel so trapped like so many who work in an office and hardly see the sunshine at all. Sometimes in hard times, you have to suck it up and make the best out of the situation. Plus when you really think you have bad, there is always someone that has it worse. But I know I don't have it bad at all. Its completely opposite actually. My life is surrounded with happiness and love. I think sometimes we get so carried away with this one thought of how bad something seems...and yes maybe you are not working your dream job, maybe you don't live in the most beautiful neighborhood, and maybe you don't even know who you are yet. But what I do know is that complaining won't change my life and it will only bring me and the ones I love down. So I have decided to change my outlook on life, by doing small simple acts of kindness. I signed up for this great volunteer program in NYC and I start orientation next week!

I have been wanting to make lunches for the homeless for a while now and while I was walking home from work today I saw someone who could use a lunch, to say the least. So I ran home, but not fast enough. My first attempt had not worked he disappeared before I could give him the lunch, well I guess dinner since it was past 6. So I decided that it couldn't be far before I would see another person in need. So I started running and there by the park I saw a man, dressed in black sleeping on the pavement. I tapped him on the shoulder be he didn't budge...he was probably dreaming of something better than the life he was currently living. Anyways I propped the lunch down and left. I hope he, like me, can see the positiveness in his life and use that energy to turn it all around.

You can't put all your pennies into one bowl.

Dream BIG?

When you are young, you dream you big. You dream that you can be whatever you want to be, grown ups say it all the time. The question of the century was, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Usually any profession you proposed, they said you could be. Unfortunately, what they forgot to mention is that it can take years to be what you want to be and sometimes the thought of being and actually being is far different. What they forgot to mention is that it's hard to dream big when what you want to do is hard to attain when the economy has crashed,when getting into school gets harder each year, and when the thought of dreaming big seems very distant. I thought for the past ten years I knew what I wanted to be. Lucky for me everything has just kind of happened but unlucky for me is that dream has been crushed by reality. The real thing isn't as good as what I thought it would be. And I get "the whole work thing and it will pay off".but what about living and enjoying that moment.? If you can't enjoy the ride, why stay on it...because no one can promise you that you won't crash in the end. Sometimes you can't just push through life. At some point you need to wake up and determine what is really important. You can't settle with what you know because the unknown can be much more gratifying.

I am dreaming again but this time as a grown up. I feel like I don't even know where to start, but maybe that's a start...

Inspiration comes in all kinds of forms; actions, people, things. Inspiration is the divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul. Sometimes inspiration comes your way when you least expect it. Inspiring people can change our lives. The title of my blog has started to change my life and it was actually off of a fortune cookie. It was a fortune eating that chinese food that night and even more meeting the one I was eating the chinese food with.

I truly believe that all great things do start with small beginnings. I think if you take steps towards a goal and keep working for it, it will become great. Pablo Picasso didn't become a painter over night and Michael Jordan didn't slam dunk the first time he held a basketball. We need to surround ourselves with inspiration so that we encourage ourselves to take the next leap. And sometimes inspiration just takes you, leads you in the right direction and really all the pieces fall into place.

Everything happens for a reason.
