GIGO
Garbage In. Garbage Out.
Greatness In. Greatness Out.
A speaker at my college use that term earlier this semester when he was talking about motivation, and I realized that was a good summary of how I try to live my life.
Because when I was in senior, and I was just really starting to deal with my health issues and my "place" in the "real world" ..I always thought negative. I'm being punished for something I did in a past life, or I am meant to have this pain..blah blah. All this depressing shit. And all it did was make me a very unhappy person, and I was no longer a cool person to hang out with.
Then after the surgery, I had an epiphany of sorts..From then on I would try and think only good and positive thoughts; I would try to focus only on that aspect of life. I am aware of my pain inside me and the pain of those around me, but I feel the goodness overrides that. And by my positive attitude, And because of this, I find I make better company. Jokes come easier to me when I am in a good mood, hell everything does..
I still get depressed every once in a while. I'm by no means perfect ...but I work through it. I learn and grow from it.
And I pray one day I wont have as much back pain as I do now..and I have faith that day will happen. So I'm going to continue working my way towards my every dream and aspiration on that faith that everything will work out. Because it will. There's simply no room for it not to.
better go now, i've ranted enough...
take care everyone
and remember to smile. it's your most beautiful feature.
