That’s what today was. A rebirth. I let people I don’t even know, open my eyes. I’ve been foolish. But not anymore, after this moment, I’m reborn. Into someone who can follow through with even the smallest of details. I’m done giving in to the little temptations offering instant gratification. I’m going to start looking at the big picture. In my heart, I’ve always known I should, but it was a little too inconvenient for me to think about. I’ve written my mission statement, and I’m going to follow through with it.
I’ve discovered that there is no “tomorrow, I’ll begin”. If that is the way I think about it, I will NEVER begin. It’s now. I’m on my way to enlightenment… starting now, I will be kind. Everyone I love, will know how much they are worth. Everyone I have wronged will know how deeply sorry I am and have been. I am finally disposing of any pride I’ve had. I’m letting go of my neurotic tendencies. My obsessive habits. My body is my temple, and I’m going to start treating it right.
My priorities will be as straight as an arrow from here on out. School, work, love, self discipline, enlightenment, school, school. My pleasure will come strictly from the feeling of productivity and accomplishment I will get by being loyal to me dreams and honest in all circumstances I find myself in.
I am so thankful to have a job and the chance to go to school. I am thankful for my family and the wonderful person I have in my life to stand by me through all of the hardships. And lastly, I am thankful to have come to this realization… this amazing feeling of clarity and fearlessness. The future no longer scares me, because I have trust in myself that the rest of my life will be a journey with much adventure and no regret.
Thank you for listening.
