As my mother said, “some of us are put on this earth to bear a burden and others are just set here to live”, I am not exactly sure if that’s the exact words she used but, the point is that some of us struggle all our lives and others live carefree with no trouble in the world. The carefree people live to use, abuse, and leave burdens on others while the others struggle trying to make themselves better, and hit with all the pressure and downfalls that comes with life.
Mostly the ones that struggle are the creative artists, and kind-hearted people of the world, but it’s how they can transform their hardships into a meaningful lifestyle or let go and do the right thing that is the major challenge. Unfortunately I am in the category of a struggling artist and the person that is hit with all the burdens and responsibilities in life, but at the end of the day, I am happy to be living.
I try to help others no matter how difficult or how bad I feel, because I am alive, and I have love in my heart and I am able to breathe air out of my lungs. I don’t need much from the world but the chance to live and help others be something I probably won’t be able to be. It’s also good to find others struggling or thinking of giving up on the world and tag team to success. It’s possible, so just try, and keep trying and love yourself for trying. It will be worth wild one day, even if the one day is not tomorrow.
So stop hating the world, or the carefree people who fill the world, just be glad that you are alive and in it. It actually really matters and you contribute to the goodness of life. Think about it.
Are you a carefree person? Are you living a struggling life? What are you doing to change that situation or helping overcoming that problem?
I live life with crazy action pack sequences synced into a body of multiple characters that work hard all day everyday, and still look at life with a positive outlook. I don’t need others to verify or validate what it is I do, the lack of sleep, how I prioritize my approach on life and/or getting things done, because I am the one doing them, not them. I been in a confined area locked from opportunity half of my life (being too young, being dependent on others), and once I saw that to break free I had to be the true me and have everything comes from me, the quicker I learned and became a better me.
I know I have loved ones, family, friends, special people in my life that cares and look out for my best interests, but I feel they have not walked in my shoes as yet or really truly understand why I do things a certain way. It’s about the fulfillment of life and breathing the air out of your lungs and feeling in control of how you are perceived. They haven’t seen what I have seen or step past their limits to break new grounds or being more open minded, instead of settling and saying it’s ok, we can pass on them, or sit around and wait for a change to come. It took up to college and lots of reading of articles (books are so darn long for my fast paced lifestyle to read), and conditioning myself from psychology to logic to philosophy that created my new form of thinking. Do I want to create and achieve, or do I want to wait and collect? I don’t believe in hand outs and waiting to be seen being me if I know what I am doing it actually how I feel and that I am aware of the consequences. I am pro-active and live a realist life, that I know my limits based on me breaking them to constantly know how much more I can do.
I am aware or my surroundings, and in depth viewpoint to the world from many directions and perspectives. For example, the lack of sleep will cause your body to shut down, or not get to grow to a certain amount, and even worse, or as my mother said it’s going to make you look too old before your time. Know so I willing continued on my path to be someone in the world. I want to live, feel, become more, to myself and others. It’s more of a giving notion by going to give and receive. So maybe one day, someone will ask, how did you accomplish this, what processes and transformation did you have to go through to reach a certain level.
I tend read and watch it being said in books, articles, and movies that we don’t use the full potential of our brain or we simply can’t or have the potential to. So I would ask who are setting these rules and these standards on what we can’t do? I hate the word/phase “I Can’t“, I usually asked the person who says so: “Who is stopping you? Have you even tried? How many times have you tried? What were the results of each encounter, gain or failure or always the same results?” Living life is like an experiment on what works and what doesn’t, and each formula or method to result to an answer is not always the same. We tend to not challenge ourselves in our normal lifestyle to see how we can develop or stretch our muscles and means of accomplishments. So I ask, if someone is to acquire greatness, he/she cannot be simple, he/she cannot fear failure, he/she won’t be the same as others. It’s just a simple rule in life, that all great things in life we all can’t acquire because we all don’t want it as bad and suffer to reach the goal, but just wants the benefits.
“If it was that easy for everyone to be great, we would all be the same, achieve the same things, and in realization we would all be the norm once again, because there would be no one better or doing something different.”
If I were to die tomorrow, I would have known I lived an unique life, I would have reached a higher level and challenged myself endlessly to see what I did on my own and how I have developed myself and dedicated a lifestyle to achieve and believe in me and be free, and with that, I need no validation, I am me, so I ask who are you?

PS: I really put some enough into this piece, and I would like you to LIKE and COMMENT if you can so I can hear your thoughts and opinions or struggle you may have had or want to overcome and PLEASE PLEASE, SHARE it with others, maybe it will be and interesting read or a helpful guide to give them encouragement within their lives.
What can I say, it’s 2012 and I don’t feel and see the need to follow commercially driven holidays or events. Just as how I don’t celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving like before based on how it plays in society to pretty much sell everyone on items or wants in life, I have decided to add Valentine’s Day this year to the list. I am more focused on other things than just what everyone else is doing. I guess you can call me anti-commercialized. I don’t like to be sold or told what to do or what to buy on any given holiday or whatsoever. I need we sometimes need help on finding great gifts for others, but at the same time, people forget to be more personal and lack effort in what they do. Almost everything in these holidays are like a sales pitch and manipulation to tell us what we should be doing or buying instead of us creating our own sense of what we want to do.
Though I might still practice one or two things for Valentine’s day in absolute private, I am definitely crossing it celebration off my list. What do you think? Are you excited each year for Valentine’s Day?
I have went year after year enjoying Valentine’s day without a problem, and really don’t see a difference in the years. Some years I have a Valentine, others I don’t based on non relationships or not seeking a love interest, but I usually take that day to treat myself to something good and show myself some love that I have been lacking or as an appreciation for all the great things I did for others without asking for anything in return.
I feel one day doesn’t validate what you can do everyday of the year or whenever you feel like to do it. I live a life of whatever I feel like doing I just go and do it, a life of no rules or limits. So this year I am definitely making a stand and opting out of Valentine’s Day. To many people it doesn’t really matter what I do, and I feel that is how it is supposed to be.
Too many people are too easily convinced they should or must follow trends, but I made it one of my personal goals to break away from the matrix and do what I feel is more important to me and closely affects me. We as a society tend to watch what everyone is doing and be either jealous, envy or try to fit in instead of doing what we need to for ourselves.
Here are 5 things people don’t focus on in their own lives that are important:
1. Save money (Plan for the right item, reason and future)
2. Live a healthy lifestyle (Relationships, family, physically, and mentally)
3. Invest in themselves (get educated, get out debt, be insured, be employed, own your property, have a peace of mind, etc.)
4. Create and focus on their own interests (Help make their lives much happier)
5. Be themselves and live life to fullest (Be the real you, and live it the way you want to, without thinking of what other’s may think)
Some of things I have listed may not apply to everyone, but take a while and think about yourself and give yourself an evaluation. What are you current main interests in life? What have you been focused on lately, and are you aggressively trying to achieve what you need to in life?
I am planning on saving my money and efforts for something much bigger and special. I love and wish everyone the best for Valentine’s Day and their hopes for a one day of the year feeling loved, but love and romance is a daily thing we can all do and do unselfishly as we please.
Let me know what you think? Do you think or give in to what others are doing instead of doing things your way and having the option to participate or not by will? What are your plans or thoughts of things to do on Valentine’s Day.
