Responsibility

We all have responsibilities in life. Sometimes we like to put them off on other people but there comes a time when we have to man up and take them on ourselves. It's not easy but it's necessary if we want to be successful in life.  I am no expert at this but I am doing my best to take on more responsibility. The biggest responsibilities I have in life right now are work and school. I have been focusing so much on school that I have neglected to do my work responsibilities. I had a good talk with my dad and I realized that I need to put more time into work to help balance out my life.

This is important because we all need to take on responsibilities so we can accomplish all that we need to in life.  If we don't don't this, then we won't feel that we belong. People become lost when they don't have the necessary duties.

I am going to start balancing myself more by doing my work duties along with my school duties. Which means I will have to sacrifice time to do other things in my life so that I can better my future.  It won't be easy but in the long run it will be worth it.

A Good Friend

Humans are beings that feel the need to belong.  We all need to have friends in life to be able to meet our needs.  Sometimes we feel weak, alone, and sad.  We need other people to lift us up and help us get through the tough times.  This week I learned just how important a good friend really is.  I learned that we can't rely on just ourselves to get through these times but we need that other person to guide us through.  Good friends aren't easy to come by but when we find them, we need to keep them close and also help them when they are feeling down.  A lot of times we are guided to those friends we need in life because the Lord knows who we need in our life.

Friends are not only important in life, they are vital.  We need friends to feel like we belong.  We need to feel like we belong because that is a natural human need.  People tend to find themselves in dark places when they don't have anyone to talk to or rely on.  They are important to strengthen us and not only that but to make memories with us.  As humans we need to do fun and exciting things and with friends we can also fulfill that.

You don't need a lot of friends, just a few good ones.  In order to have a good friend, you need to be a good friend.  So I am going to try to be a better friend and be there for them so that in my time of need, they will be there for me.  I am going to look for those true friends instead of just having a lot of friends.  We all need to find those people who are willing to be those good friends and help us out in our time of need.

Decisions Determine Destiny

I know that most of my blog posts have been similar but they are all connected in some way.  I feel as if this post about decisions will connect them all together.

Decisions determine everything that goes on in our lives.  We have to make decisions every single day.  There is not a day that goes by that we don't make a decision that could change our lives forever.  Decisions are difficult.  They are hard to make and sometimes take a lot of research.  This is the reason why so many people in life are indecisive and never want to make decisions.  I have tried hard to make the best decisions that are possible but sometimes it is hard to make the right decision.  Sometimes we make the wrong decisions and that affects our lives in a negative way.  But we can only fix those decisions because not everything is permanent.  We need to learn what constitutes a good decision and how we can learn to make those good decisions.

Decisions are important because without them we cannot progress and move forward in life.  Without them we are stuck in one place.  They are important so we can choose the things we want in life such as (a) work, (b) school, (c) eternal companion, etc.  All those things are important to us here on this earth and by making decisions we can accomplish those things.

Then what should I do?  I am going to start implementing this things my life.  I need to take decisions more seriously.  I need to research more before I make decisions so that I can make the right decisions.  I know that if I do this I will be happier and that I will make all the decisions necessary to accomplish the things that God has planned for me in this life.

Effort. "You get what you ask for"

This semester I have struggled to get back into the school mode after a nice long summer.  It has usually been difficult to transition back into school but this year, for some reason, has been extra hard.  This past week really opened my eyes to that and how much I need to buckle down.  This week I learned that the more effort you put into something the better you do and if you don't but that effort in, then you won't get the results that you want.  Effort is like the phrase "You get what you ask for."  When we put effort into something that is important to you, then you are asking for that thing.  Effort is key to getting what we truly want in this life and it is key to getting what is truly important in this life.

Effort is important because if we don't try and put the appropriate effort in, then we will never get anywhere.  If we want to get smarter and get good grades but we don't study, then those things won't happen.  Sometimes it is hard to want to put in the effort because life gets hard and we don't always get what we want even when we do put in the appropriate effort.  If we can learn the importance of this concept, we will begin to be more successful in all aspects of our life.

In order to apply this in my life, I need to change my attitude about everything but specifically about school.  I need to put more effort into my classes at school by studying and learning all I can so I can be successful in life.  I am going to put my priorities in line and put effort into the more important things in life.  It's time to buckle down and get my priorities straight.
