Alarm Goes Off, Woke Up, Got Out of Bed, Pressed Snooze, Got Back Into Bed, Went to Sleep…

Do we find ourselves doing the same thing over and over again. Sometimes it takes pressure or a big event to make us think differently or change the path that we are already currently on. Its just like waking up in the morning. Some of us don’t like change, we happen to be scared of a different routine. But in fact this hinders us from growing.  Waking up in the morning to something new and different and exciting scares some of us, so all we do is just get back into bed and press the snooze button. This is the place where everything is the same. Nothing will change, life becomes dull and boring because you are not willing to except the changes that you need to start making in your life.

Alarm Goes Off, Woke Up, Got Out of Bed, Turned Off the Alarm, Prayed, Stretched, Got Ready for the Day.

With greeting the day that God has made for us with a new understanding and a new passion for life helps us realize the importance of life. God wants us to get up out of “bed” or our normal routines and greet the day with his presence. When you try to control your life and keep doing the same thing over and over again, life is going to seem confusing, dull, and routine. This in turn hurts you in the future. Causing you to feel pain, anger and anxiety. People need exciting events to happen in their life in order to grow and attain their goals. These feelings of attaining goals and striving for something new are amazing. It’s a new life. A new Feeling. A new WORLD.

Just recently I had a talk with one of my professors about a quiz that I just completed. He listened to my reasoning and just sat there in silence. Two or three times I looked at him and said, “I just don’t understand how to do this,” “Or, I cant do this or find the solution”. A few moments later he said something that I thought I would never hear from an elder in the business school. He told me that if I keep thinking that I cant do something, whether it be a school problem, or a problem in my life, I wont be able to attain  my goals. Stunned I sat there and realized that I have lately been telling myself I cant do something, or its not going to happen. These words you keep telling yourself in life become barriers. One by one….they build up….creating a wall…and making you think…you cant…do anything…BUT in reality you can do everything, anything, truly the world is yours. You can become the person you want to become.

After listening to what my professor said, he told me to sit there and talk over the problems on the quiz with him and explain to him what is going on and how I think I am supposed to work the questions.

I sat there and explained the process step by step. Of coarse here and there I messed up a little but that is where he asked me questions and I learned from my mistakes.

We need friends, family members, loved ones but most of all GOD to help us through our problems that we face in life. We cant conquer them ourselves. We must tell them how we feel every day or what is going on in a “step by step” process for them to understand where we are coming from. Sometimes it is a struggle for people to tell others what is going on in their life, what is bothering them, their desires, their hopes, their dreams, their successes, well and mostly their weaknesses. Its hard for me to sit down and realize where I have failed. But through this interaction with others, and speaking, we learn that we are not always right, we mess up, we fail! But, it’s the questions our companions ask us that tend to challenge us and make us succeed. This is where we learn. We learn from others. We don’t learn from listening to other people blab and blab about how to fix a certain problem. We learn from interaction with others. People trying to step back and live our lives for the 20 sec of what is being explained and then challenging us to think about what really went on makes us learn. Motivation, Integrity, Trust, Support, Love and Friendship all make a relationship work. All of these things makes an individual grow and realize what they should have learned from their mistakes.

So now I realized, this morning, that this THING  that has been bothering me for a year…is making me push the snooze button over and over again. I am hindered and unable to grow through new feelings and experiences because all I do is worry and feel lost in this situation. Today, I am starting a new approach. I am getting out of bed, and praying, and greeting this new day with something special and important.

Who knows where life is going to lead me, who knows what is in store for me, who knows where I am going to live or what job I am going to have, who I am going to love, what obstacles I am going to have to tackle, what friends I am going to meet…who knows? But in reality these are the exciting things in life that keep us going. These are the things that we should sit back and realize this makes another chapter in our book. Why make others or yourself hinder you, when you have the chance to grow into something amazing, something beautiful, something called YOU! So don’t hit that snooze button. Wake up and realize life has started and you are on your way of making your own beautiful story.
