I was reading a friend of mine's blog earlier, and she asked everyone to comment on how they go out into the world to be amazing and happy. What obstacles in your life have you overcome or are face to face with right now, forced to either run away and hide from or to take it for what it is and make it better. I must say, last week I was miserable...angry at the world... and no matter how hard I tried to think about what I was thankful for, to just be happy that I am where I am, just made me more upset. Now, with a clear head I look back on last week and while a part of me still feels the same way, I'm trying so so hard to look at the positive side and think about all of the exciting things that are about to happen over the next couple weeks.
In this economy, people are out of jobs, recent graduates are unable to secure anything, and here I am, a recent graduate with a decent paying job, and I am miserable. And I wonder, did I set myself up for this way back in May? When I was dreading graduation because that meant entering the workforce (if I could find a job). But there is always that one thing or person that can completely ruin something for you. It ruins everything, it makes your day so much harder to get through. You sit at your desk thinking "I need to be happy, I should be happy, I have opportunities that not many people have, so why can't I just deal with it and stop letting it affect me". The answer? It's because the harder you try, the more expectations your have for yourself. You get through one day and you think okay one down, four more to go until the weekend and then it's Sunday - your awesome weekend is ruined the moment you wake up and think: I have to go back. So should I account my feelings to the period of my life where finals and books were all I cared about? No, I don't think so, it just comes to one of my nightmares about real life finally became my life.
I really don't know how I'm going to cope with it, when I try to talk about it, I just get things I don't want to hear and yes, they're things that are dead on, I realized them a while ago but that is not what I need to hear right now. Just listen. Listen and understand. Don't speak, just comfort. At least I'm acting on it and not just sitting here feeling sorry for myself.
So back to the title and whole point of this blog: How to be amazing. Look at yourself, think of all the things in your life that make you happy, that make you feel amazing: you're favorite pair of jeans, an awesome dress, your boyfriend/girlfriend, husband or wife, your dog, your horse, your family, your favorite color...anything and focus in on all of that happiness. Then, the things or people in your life that bring out the worst in you won't be able to affect you as much. I know it's hard, and my experience will only better if I remove myself from the situation and I'm working on it. Regardless of whether I wind up going where I'm trying to pave that particular path or I keep trying different paths, at least I kow I'm trying to make it better. I'm NOT giving up.
So, I think that is how to be amazing: don't give up, don't let the things in your life that aren't that great weigh you down: sort it out, think it through, come up with a plan and GO. Life is too short to live in unhappiness and plus when we're happy other's will see it. So take today and put everything aside and just BE HAPPY.
