What Is The Most Important Thing In Life?
messageglue

The most important thing in life may not be found just because so many different people are worried about what others think of them. They try to fit in so much that they stand out due to their efforts. Not to mention they lose themselves in the process. With this losing of yourself you become

Invisible. 

I recently had the opportunity to need to do a presentation in my Leadership and Mentoring class but I knew that I had to do something different. I did not want to do what most people would have done for the term "creative" because this "creative" is really not creative. To be honest it's more lazy than creative. I knew that I needed to do something different. So I used very little written words and decided hey if I can do this like a piece of performance art then I would be able to do this presentation without being bored. And you know what structuring my thought process like this I was able to storyboard what I wanted my presentation to be in twenty to thirty minutes.

So I'm presenting and during the active listening part I put on bunny ears which is a nod to my favorite show Drop Dead Diva, and I do yoga poses in my self care part to give a nod to how easy it can be to take care of yourself. I'm having fun and I have voiceovers and I'm fighting with the computer.

But when it's done guess what? I'm praised for being different! What? Why should I be praised for being me. Why should I be praised for being

visible

I feel bad for those that aren't comfortable to be themselves. Which brings up the most important thing.

The most important thing in life is neither tall nor small.

It cannot be seen with the naked eye.

It cannot be fully explained.

But it is the most important thing of all.

It is the ability to be comfortable to always be yourself.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
