I wrote an essay about myself this morning, and that was the most interesting thing I had done since our Spring Break. Obviously I was past the point that I an A student with lots of awards and lots of great relationships with teachers (yes, be nice to your teacher. They are not that bad after all). I wanted to write about something that felt out of my comfort zone...and I did.
Throughout the day, I felt the type of joy that can't be explained, the one that are felt, but not said. Almost like a "Don't Kiss and Tell" type of way. And by joy, I mean doing things for others rather than yourself. The person you see today, you might not see them tomorrow. Even if it is a stranger, be kind. Karma comes around. And just like that, with everything that has happened to me until this day, I realized...Planning out your future takes the fun out of it. Live freely and enjoy even through the unexpected situations. After all, you learn something everyday.
Don't focus one one thing and make it your ultimate go-to-goal or nothing. Take risks. I, myself have taken risks in my life and even though I lost nine out of ten times, I learn from those mistakes. Being successful isn't about getting awards or recognition, to me, being successful is knowing that you did a random act of kindness, being successful is about helping someone even if no one is looking because that is who you truly are. So why not be successful today? Go out and have fun and ...
Always Keep a smile on!
