Genesis

If you’re feeling frightened about what comes next, don’t be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness, don’t waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; because you’ll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart… where your hope lives. You’ll find your way again.

He who has faith has an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Ten Things To Do When You Feel Like Crap:

1. Have a really hot, long shower. Cry if you need to. Sit on the ground. Feel sorry for yourself. Let the steam soak into your skin. Let the hot water wash your face clean. But the moment you turn off that water, you are done feeling sorry for yourself. Make a decision to move on from that sadness.

2. Clean. I know, cleaning is boring and annoying - but how about that feeling you get when you are finished? The smell of the vacuum. That feeling of accomplishment? Who knows, you might even find money along the way. Totally worth it. It’s like starting with a clean slate.

3. Call a friend you haven’t spoken to for a while. If your first choice doesn’t pick up, choose someone else. Ask them all about how their lives are going and tell them about yours. Not only will it take your mind off whatever crappy thing you have been plagued by, but you will laugh with them! Laughing triggers endorphins and endorphins make you happy!

4. Go for a run or a walk. This get’s your endorphins and dopamine going crazy. You will get more energy and more happiness just because the chemicals in your body are running around!

5. Stop and take it all in. Walking in the night? Stop and look at the stars. Breathe in the cold air. Feel alive. 

6. Stop whining. Ever heard the saying “love life and life will love you back”? Or, the idea of the power of attraction? It’s true! If you sit around saying “why me, waaaaa waaaa” then bad things will happen to you. You’re already defeated. If you start saying, “I will be happy, I will accomplish my ambitions, I will find love, I do look amazing, I am a great friend” etc., then not only will you start to believe them but you will be amazed at what amazing things start to happen.

7. Drink tea. This always works. Not a tea fan? Try hot water with a slice of lemon and some agave syrup. 

8. Make a conscious decision to stop holding certain grudges. We all have people we have held grudges on in the past. Let them go. If you feel like you owe this person an apology, don’t be too proud. Send them a sincere facebook apology. Sincerity is in the intent, so even if it’s a 2 sentence apology - as long as you mean it it’s worth it. 

9. Cook some really nice, warm food. Stimulate your taste buds with anything as simple as two minute noodles or as lavish as a three course garlic bread, pasta bake, chocolate mousse triple combo. 

10. Write down a list of goals to achieve for the week. As simple as “buy insect repellent” or as large as “jog for 25 minutes non stop” and tick them off when they’re done. You will feel very accomplished and that alone will help pep up your mood!

There’s a loneliness that only exists in one’s mind. The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.

• When a person laughs too much, even on stupid things, that person is sad deep inside
• When a person sleeps a lot, that person is lonely
• When a person talks less and if he talks fast, that person is keeping a secret
• When a person can’t cry, that person is weak
• When a person eats in an abnormal way, that person is in tension
• When a person cries on little things, that person is softhearted
• When someone asks about you although that someone is busy, he/she really loves you

Sports: An Appreciation and Dedication for Cross Country

I never really made a post about how much i have appreciated and dedicated to Cross Country over the two years that i have participated in. Cross Country was the second sport that i did in my high school life and it felt like the most important one.  Above are the awards and accolades that i have achieved over the course of my two years in doing this sport. Over 90% of it was from the 2010 season while the remainder of it was from the 2011. I’m not trying to brag or show off how much i achieved simply because i never do that; there was always someone else doing it for me and i felt that doing it would make me look like a arrogant douchebag. Theres no point in having awards if you never really got the chance to show it to some people. There were times when i could have earned more, however things didnt go as planned, but im grateful for having at least one good season of cross country that became a starter to my stepping stone in my high school life. There was a point in time where i almost quit tennis to become a full time runner all year long. In the end, it was a good thing i didnt go fulltime. Above all of the awards and accolades had i gained something more important: valuable experience, influence, teamwork, friendship, and more insight to life. Cross Country was a good investment of my time. I was able to run and then get my work done all without blatantly wasting time being unproductive. I was able to run everyday afterschool rather than sit home and do nothing. I was also able to explore more than i usually do by going to different cities and checking out their establishments whenever we went to invitational races. I gained alot of valuable insight and experience from all of this. Because of this i was able to become a better person, be apart of a team, and got closer with everyone on the team. This sport inspired and influenced me to view things from a different perspective that later lead to a lot of good, valuable experience that i was able to instill upon my other team members and later in tennis.
