I have recently read the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, it was recommended to me by my uncle and I am forever grateful. This book has provided me with a whole new outlook and has moved me into a healthier mind set. I would suggest this book to anyone who has an open mind, anyone who is looking for life altering motivation or for anyone who just enjoys these types of books. Throughout the book I found myself comparing it to the book and documentary that of “The Secret” which is also an amazing book!  The book is about a young man who has very little but is happy and content. He is a Shepherd and spends all of his time with his sheep. He is bothered by a dream he has and decides to have the dream interpreted. He is then told that there is a treasure that…

Many people in this world set themselves goals, and setting goals is a very productive way to live. But there are other people who become so fixated on their goals that they forget to live, and they lose track of the little things in life that are so precious and are not meant to be ignored. Stop and smell the roses your goal will still be there but you have to stop to smell those roses. I’ve had goals, I’ve met certain goals, I’ve changed goals, I’ve failed goals and I’ve given up on goals. But I don’t regret any of them. I’ve seen death and death, to me, is a constant reminder that life is so short and you need to live every moment to the complete fullest. Life is about learning, excelling, and living. Life is about failing, and not always getting what you want, it’s about experiences…

New years is a celebration of the ending of a year and welcoming in a new year. People use this new year as an opportunity to start over, to start fresh. Some people go as far as making promises to change themselves. Common new years resolutions are things like losing weight, quitting smoking, being nicer to people etc… My outlook on new years this year is to continue doing what I am doing. I’ve had my tough times, I’ve had struggles, I’ve over come obstacles in ways people are completely oblivious to. My new years resolution this year is to keep heading forward and to not look back. People are in my past for a reason and are there in result of decisions that I still stand by.  I’m on my way to becoming something fantastic and I don’t need a certain date to dedicate these promises to. I will…

I have only been in school for 2 weeks so far and I am feeling sooo over whelmed. I am taking the PSW course at a local Learning Center. The course is so interesting and I love it so much. I’ve been getting really high marks and excelling at a very high level. I haven’t been in school for a few years so I am also learning how to be a student again. Every night we have at least 3 hours of homework, the work isn’t difficult for me but it is very time consuming. I do all of this while still work 2–25 hours a week. It is really hard to juggle all of this at once but I have my eyes on the prize and won’t stop until I reach my goal. I am so excited to start my career in health care and take care of people….

I see the world through a unique perspective. I like to consider myself to be an optimist but, just like everyone else, sometimes I lose my faith. Despite the fact that it seems a little niave and at times just plain stupid I have faith that people always have good intentions. I am blinded by the thought that people are always honest and would never intentionally hurt you. Or anyone. But in my years I have grown to see how unture that statement is. It sadens me that sometimes people can be completely heartless. Weather it is due to them being hurt in the past, weather its caused by how damaged that individual is, or if it is just because for them its fun. Sometimes you’ll never know why people do the things they do. I try, as hard as possible, to live by the rules of “The secret”. Whatever…
