A piece of something positive
Lately I've been wanting to do something more than what I've been doing. Something positive, for me, for all. When I was young I wanted to save the rainforests. I feel like the part of me that wants to save the planet is still there, it's my passion. I can feel it.
So I've decided to study Psychology, Foreign language, and Journalism. The goal is to join the Peace Corps after college. I don't care if I'm wandering around the world poor I just want to know that I'm doing something to help someone. I've always been passionate about helping people and yes I am very codependent. It breaks my heart to see someone in need, any kind of need emotion, financial, etc. I always try to do my best to help.
Anyway, I purchased two books today Every Monday Matters and How to Practice the Way to a Meaningful Life by his holiness the ,Dalia Lama.
Both are brillant.
Every Monday Matters focuses on the outlook of 52 ways to make a different each Monday. Its ranges from everything to adopting a pet to registering to vote. I love it. When I picked it up I couldn't put it down, I felt inspired.
A lot of people don't really know this side of me. I'm very passionate about this.
Currently I'm in the process of enery conservation. I've replaced most of the light bulbs in my house. I hate when I go to store and they give me plastic bags to put my items in. For 2008, I'm vowing to remember to keep reusable bags with me, in my car or whereever.
Personal Developemnt is a big thing for me. For 2008 I'm going to try really hard to turn my life around. In all aspects, but I have to take it one step at a time. I'm looking at it by week to week.
Also I would really like to try to read 52 books this year. Hopefully I'll be able to find time between school and everything else but I'm going to try harder to manage my time a lot better. Right now it's almost 2 AM so that means no more staying up like this.
Call it an enlightenment, or an awakening.
I wish everyone could be more selfless and really realize what is going on in our world instead of ignoring it and going on with our normal piss poor lives. So selfish, and I'll admit I do too. I really want to change though. Goals are key.
"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see."
I will change the world.
