I don't know if its because the weather is getting so very sunny and beautiful or if its because I'm sitting here with my windows open listening to Jack Johnson's "Never Know" and bopping my head around but I feel really inspired today.
There is one thing that I've been thinking about a lot lately.
goals. ambitions. dreams.
what are some things that you've always wanted to do in life?
we are put here on this Earth to live our lives to the fullest, right?
we generally only live to see 100 years, if we're lucky.
so what are some things that you really want to accomplish in your lifetime?
as Gandhi once said "be the change you wish to see in the world"
instead of talking about it, why not just do it? make a change, do things that you've always wanted to do.
don't wait another month and put it off any longer. it will make you happy once you do it.
I've ALWAYS wanted to be a teacher. My idol has always been Princess Diana.
I figured if I couldn't be a real Princess, I sure as heck could try and do the things she once did. I think teachers really make a difference in people's lives. In some way, shape, or form, they make us who we are. Have you ever had a teacher who left a mark on your heart? If not, I'm sorry you haven't had a chance to experience that but maybe someone will still come along:o)
I love to volunteer during my spare time. I'm that girl who waits for the little old lady in the parking lot to cross the street with her walker to get in the door. I stand there waiting with the door open. I don't care how long it takes her, she knows I'm there to say "hi" and then leave.
I like to do as much as I can in the little amount of time that I have. It's not about me, its about others. I like to know that I have made someone smile (hopefully more than one person) or they feel better because I was there to listen to what they had to say. I always send cards to my friends, just so they know I'm thinking of them and I'm always here. I don't expect anything back, I just try to be a good friend.
So tell me, I wanna hear it...
What are somethings you wanna do?
Big or small
Within reach or way far out of reach
Short term or long
Start with one thing today.
So sweet about helping the older lady...I love older people and have always had such a strong desire to serve them...Right now my time is very limited and doesn't allow but I try to do other things for them like you. Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference!
ReplyDeleteI really want to learn to sew...I'm going to do it but have to wait until after July. Working 2 full times[photographer and accountant] it's tough to take on anything else espcially considering I have 1-3 weddings every weekend from now until the end of July! BUT I'm excited to learn about that:)
This was a great post!
Have a great great day!
aw this is such a nice post! since you want to teach and be like princess diana have you ever thought about going over seas to teach for a little while? I have another friend who was looking into doing it for a few months, it sounds like an awesome experience. :)
