Give Yourself a Break!

This week I have been thinking a lot about the expectations the world places on individuals. And as I have been going through family relations class this week, we learned a bit about these expectations. In this society we are pressured in many aspects. As divorce rates are soaring, and babies being born with out fathers around, it is easy to think that this world is an ever darkening one. It is very sad to think of all the heart break, hurt and angst that is increasing in this world.

But I am here to let you know what we should all take a break from the worry, pain and suffering. Take a moment to unwind, relax, and come to terms with the fact that this world maybe not be inherently good, but that plenty of good still exists. We just must go and seek the good in life, and take in the moments when life is good. In order to change the world, be must be different from the world. Changes begins with you and me.

I love the quote, "Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think". This is where I think it is needed that we all take breaks from life. Most of us are trying to be your best self. Some of us are trying improve and keep are marriages well. Others are trying to raise a child as a single parent. And yet some of us are trying to be the best college student they can be. Give yourself some credit. Be kind to others, and remember that life is good if only you are determined to make it that way.
