If she is ready to go out with me, I will be pleased. If I could only get my mom to care just for one day, I would be okay. I merely want one hug from my dad to reveal that he loves me then I won’t cry so much. I just want one this year, if I could do that I would have the determination to do preponderant. If I could tribunal ten more pounds that could get me on the soccer team, then I’ll be satisfied. If I only had one friend that was genuine to me, I could relax at night. If somebody would remark me at school then maybe I’ll believe I matter. If I could be a little bit more like my brother, then I could be successful. If I replace my clothing style, maybe people will want to get to know the real me.
These are the excerpts of our youth, some lead to self-destruction or depression; maybe with this perspective our youth can grow. A yoke to a person or feeling can direct and convince our minds of almost everything. Having one more thing in life would have resulted in better life, but when that wish is awarded, we have already moved on to another key to happiness. We depend on our relatives, friends, teachers, coaches and so on, and the majority of us have been let down. There had been those persons that have let us down when we necessitated to be picked up more at that second than any other. We have committed persons in our lives with our emotions, and they have sometimes made little holes that cannot be filled. Humor is not found in these situations or people, and if it is, it does not start there. Faith and laughter start in a place much closer but are so often neglected.
We don’t need institutions and high-rises to be okay; we don’t need to depend on the world or society to give us our necessities. We don’t need a pat on the back for excellent deeds, and we don’t need base our actions on the majority around us. When it comes down to it, the destitute fact is that the family, buddies, and all the others around will not help you be okay with yourself or sleep any better at night. Everyone hopes to find our soul mate or somebody that we can give yourself mentally and physically to and grow old with, no matter if you’ve been vivacious, straight, sad, or not even looking, we all crave that true love at some point. But instead of honor, success, happiness, or love, truth is the fastest road to prosperity. Instead of looking for someone else, look inside. Instead of shouting something out all the time, be alone inside steadily in thought; that is where we can find truth. The intelligence of one’s self and one’s goal is better recognized alone while in tune with intelligent thought than at the whim of one’s voice.
Everyone has choices and paths to explore, many of which branch off into millions of different judgments and outcomes. Sometimes we wish we didn’t even have a choice, and then life would be a little easier, but as a race we all have the privilege of freedom. I am not unambitious or critical by the burden of choice but rather blessed that I have things from which to choose. Rather of disheartening about what he or she said, or what occurred on Friday, or what your mom said to you that brought you to cry yourself to sleep that night; either your boyfriend broke your heart, whether your grandpa burned on your granny, whether your family is a mess, or whatever it may be; we could all do better to learn about individually. Then we may be able to assume what we want and need in others.
Identify your target, set goals and walk the track that will take you there. Then find the personalities that will help you to get down that path and that you can’t live without in your life. When you are okay with yourself no matter the conditions and find the honor in your determination, nothing can stop you from fulfilling lifelong comfort. If we could somehow do that, that one more thing to make us okay will be the last thought that inscribes our heads thanks to the value of a person.
