Purpose, Beliefs, and the Journey Ahead

Everyone needs something to believe in, whether it is a cause, some kind of god , or their own motto of how they choose to live their life. A belief that this is not all for nothing, that everyday does in fact count, and that we were put on this planet for a purpose. Our journey is either not identified yet or in the process of being written.

The optimists of our world choose to believe in the greater good, and they are not yet discouraged, even when society consistently fails us, they still have hope that one day things will turn for the better. Although, the realists out weigh the optimists of our world.

Realists are the ones who are constantly giving the dreamers reality checks, and they do not believe that dreams come true, instead they put up this persona that life happens, and we have to choose how we roll with it or not.

Our world consists of people who rarely dream of something greater, magical, and almost surreal. Yes, everyone has dreams, but who really tries to make those dreams a reality. The ones who turn their dreams into their reality are the ones who believe in something that is bigger than themselves. Those who think that anything is possible, and that life is not yet discouraged by us.

Some believe that everything happens for a reason, and that the events that take place in our life are meant to help create us into the person we are today, and are meant to be. Then, there are some who think that life is not fair..And to short..Those are the ones who decide to dwell on the past, and all the heartache and disappointment of life, instead of use that to become a stronger human being, and face their fears that they believe that life has nothing good in store for them.That is simply untrue. The best is yet to come. Sometimes you have to endure the hardships that reality and life has to throw your way, to come to the realization that every chance is an opportunity for greatness, and every hope is a belief that we can be whomever we imagine, and that second chances do exist for those lucky enough to accept the opportunity to start over. “Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been, and remember the person you where meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.”(One Tree Hill)

Believe.. Believe that you have a purpose, a journey, and that not matter what spins your life takes, no one can change the way you choose be not ordinary but extraordinary.

“Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.”(One Tree Hill)

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
