"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, or say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day reguarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past..we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude..I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you...we are in charge of our Attitudes." ~Charles Swindoll.
We are learning about Attitude right now in Psych. After watching The Power of One, I felt so.....well I guess shocked? It was a realization to how my attitude can affect so much around me. Once I became "aware of being aware"---Busman---, I noticed how I treat others with my attitude. I can say demeaning things or act in a rude way, with out even thinking about. Not until people actually have the courage to tell me. Which I like. No you do not crush or ruin my life. It is good and for my own sake. I am one who is blunt about much, so I really do appreciate the feedback and kick in the pants when I need it. Maybe thats all too often?
I am always asking myself how to stay happi in all of the madness that goes around. I really struggle with being in a good mood when I want to be angry at the world. But I've found how to solve this. The Lord, Yoga Balls, Best Friends, Chocolate Milk (YES), Working Out, and Laughing. I suppose that is just the minimum of ways for me. I really don't like being upset, because I feel like I am bringing down all the others around me as well. A good Attitude really helps me stay in check. I find myself always pointing out the frailties and things going wrong, and so I ask my self WHY ME. But in the end these trials we face were meant to happen from the begining, and we've got to learn how to punch them in the face so we can become stronger. And I am reminded this every day, but it is still so difficult. I know I should be considering this through all, but I have a hard time realizing this is just a drop of rain in the long skeem of things. I also have a difficult time confessing certain situations, so I suppose I want to gain the courage to tell those things to the people that really do need to hear it at this time. I am just greatful for all those who are there to help and whom I can rely on. They will be ever blessed and I don't know how to repay for all that they do for me. I have just been really quite angry lately for many things combound, and I don't want these feelings suppressed any longer. SOOOOOOO....I AM GOING TO PROCLAIM IT TO THE WORLD. One of these days.
Anyways, HEY LADIES, do think it is okay to call a Man BE-A-UTIFUL? Because I seriously think I saw the most beautiful guy today. Handsome, Cute, nor Hawt were even allowed to consider this man. He was just soooo perfect. And gorgeous. But the only problem I had with seeing him is this: I probably will never see him again. Don't you just get so frusterated with these situations? I DO. I am very excited to visit BYU on Monday. Here is my plan: Go there, check out the school (The Men), find one that is a fresh boy. Then we will meet and hit it off well. He will then go on his misson and when he comes back I will so be at there waiting for him. Yeah is'nt that plan just great? I thought this through for a while, and I suppose it just might do. Well, maybe I will just find that he has a Beautiful Soul. Those are always the best as well. So I will let you know how it works.
I realized something Men. You are Incredible beings. You can make a lady so utterly happi. Then turn the whole thing upside down. I don't really know how you do it. It just seems so easy. Thats why I love friends. You can never go wrong that way. Although, "more than friends" are fun and can be beneficial. You must be ready. Otherwise the whole whatever it is, may just turn out a flop. So, don't start anything until maybe you know a bit more ;) Not going to lie. I love you. You are so intriguing and absolutley hilarious and fun fools. It great bliss when we talk and hang out, but not as classy as it should be. Therefore relationships can definatly be put off for later times when one is ready. I just wish I were able to be in control of a bit more, and knew this in adcanced so I could be prepared. That is That.
I am so ready to get out of here, for Spring Break. Rexburg here I come. I am so looking forward to seeing the babies and family. It's always adventure. And honestly, I am excited for the ride. We are taking two days to get down there for funnsies, but I really just love car rides. Well, sometimes. I don't want to contradict myself because I actually despise them. They are uncomfortable and I can't sleep. But I love being able to think, and look out the window at..well all there is, is nothing. But it is nice, and relaxing.
So, now This is This. "Choose your love, Love your choice" :)
