Make A Change

It all starts with you.

Make A Change
the imaginative conservative

Take a look at yourself. Do you like what you see? Do you like the person you are becoming? If you do, keep striving to be the best. If you don't it is time to make a change. I have my up and downs, some times I am becoming more like the woman I want to be and other days I am rude and hateful. Simple stuff annoys me, I complain at what I don't want to do, and I am rude to people. Now does that sound like someone you want to be? No, probably not. Life can be pretty simple. Smile, be happy, and don't care what others think. Yet we complicate it some how?

I get wrapped up in what other people say about me and I dwell on it for days. I am sure you do too. It happens, because we want people to like us. Honestly, we waste so much time on stuff that doesn't matter. If you add up all that time I am positive you could have used that energy some where else. We need to start focusing on what we can change instead of what we can't. We have the power to change a lot in this world, but it starts with you. Stop letting this world put limits on your life. No one has the power, but you.

We rush at the chance to spread articles and information on social media, so use it for good! Do something valuable with your time, give back to others and love deeply. This world is big and its scary, but put a smile on your face and take the world by storm. You can't control what happens, but you can control what it means to you. You can do anything you want with what has been happening in our world, do it for the good of others and this society. Don't be selfish or make rash decisions that will effect everyone.

In this world people hurt people that is the reality of it. You can either dwell about it or move on and make the best of every situation. Love is so powerful and it only takes one person to make a change. Be different and take a stand on what you believe in. We don't have to hate, fight, or disagree on anything. If we could just control how we react to situations and love one another this world would be in a much better place. I pray for a world where we fight to understand people more. We disagree on everything and we fight until we get the last word in. If we could change all that hate and fight think about how much better our world would be?

If you don't like what's happening in the world or who you are becoming it all starts with you. Do something to make the future greater. Don't be afraid to love harder. Don't be afraid to be different. Change starts with one person go against the odds. Things won't change unless we change daily. Be the person God created you to be.

Love more. Breathe. Keep Moving. Subtract the stress. Hate less.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
