Create Your Own Chances.

Believe it or not, it's possible.

Create Your Own Chances.

Believe it or not, we can create our own chances in this world. This world is full of things that are out of our hands or things we cannot help, but what about the things we can help?

Who's stopping us from creating our own chances of our goals? Who's stopping us from creating or building up friendships, relationships, etc? Nobody but ourselves is the answer.

I know a lot of us, including myself, have always wanted different things or prayed about different situations to happen. This prayer might sound familiar to your lives: "God, please put me in a situation to bless someone or help someone or be useful.". Who's stopping us from doing that ourselves, though? God is Almighty and can most definitely grant us some of those prayer requests, but why can't we start it ourselves as well? Just one simple kind word or gesture can make a difference in someone's life. Why can't we create our own chance to be a vessel in someone's life or situation?

It's really something to think about. Some of the things stopping us truly hold us back from making a difference. We just have to be conscious and aware of the world around us and be thinking about what we can do to make a change, no matter how big or small.

Spread kindness y'all. Pay attention to what's around you and who's around you.

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.
