The learning process has come to a milestone. I've reached 100 blog posts and there are still so many left to do.
The experiment: to do a blog everyday as part of an evolving process in which I would capture things that contributed to my day and how these things affected me and possibly changed me.
The results have been satisfactory as I have grown to appreciate some of my good qualities and learned to acknowledge my faults and what I can do to correct them. More importantly I've learned to accept the things I cannot change and what it means to put my best foot forward.
Life is a learning experience, a journey, and each and everyday we are evolving, learning, and growing towards a better tomorrow. We come to this world armed with only the clothes on our back and the opportunities we are blessed with. With time sophistication takes its toll and life becomes easier for the common man but harder for the everyday man to live a different life. The simple life we are so eager to escape has moved its way into our everyday lives. Governments believe that it is its responsibility to provide security and allow room for prosperity: a battle that picks away at the human soul. As people we want to evolve from our current conditions; we want to see change. But in the process we become blind to the simple pleasure we have always had.
In my case I have dreamed of one day being free of all the inhibitions and doubts that I feel hold me back from being the best I can be. I have done some great things but I wish to do only better. I want to one day see myself where others have stood in glory. That one day people will come to me for help and I will have the answers they seek. Through my blogs I have realized that these "inhibitions" and "doubts" are really all in my head. Not just my head but the head of every human, every student, and every parent who doubts their abilities and is afraid to take the first step towards their dreams.
But what do we accomplish by attacking our dreams head on? Does accomplishing our dreams bring us satisfaction? Does it give us the answers we have always been seeking? In my opinion it is all about benign neglect. We cannot pin-point the exact day we reach success and more importantly we cannot control our destiny or our fate. We must live for what life throws at us and learn to dodge the brick walls that come our way. Those we are unable to avoid teach us something that helps us evolve, not cripple us.
My goals and my soul are hard to puncture and what I am able to accomplish is what I should accept. I should live in the now and always look towards the future. I know can make a difference and it is only a matter of time, work, and opportunity.
100 down, 265 left to go!
