It's Not About Me, It's About All of You!

When I share advice or wisdom, it is never about me. It is always about you. I am not telling anyone how to live their lives. I am simply sharing my suggestions and ideas for others to hopefully be inspired by. We are all different and unique in our own ways. That is what makes us beautiful. We shouldn’t live like we don’t have a mind of our own. We must think for ourselves. When it comes to all aspects of life, we must only take what we need and enjoy and leave the rest. Otherwise, we are not living true to ourselves and that can create problems and stress in our lives.

Everything I say may not resonate with everyone and that is more than okay. I don’t read something and agree with every single thing written. These are merely my ideas and I urge you to express yours! Share with me your opinions and thoughts. I think when we do this in a respectful manner everyone can benefit. Even if it is just opening our minds to a different way of life. I love to learn and understand different ideas and topics. I use the same principle I told you to live by, I take what I need and leave the rest. Sometimes I may disagree with something, but find myself interested in it or agreeing at some point later in my life.

That’s why it is important to pace ourselves when learning to a speed we feel comfortable with. When learning (or doing anything in life) and we feel it is time to take a break, take a break. We don’t have to follow someone else’s path. If what they are doing isn’t working for you, do what works for you instead! It is really that simple. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. No one can dictate how you live your life.

For example, I read a Christian blog and find myself enjoying a lot of what she writes. However, I am not going to become a follower of that religion. I stay true to myself and take what I like and leave the rest! It’s fun doing this. I have shown myself that I have a strong sense of who I am and will not be influenced by external things. I think and act a certain way because I have decided to. This doesn’t make me uptight or no fun. I have just decided to be considerate and aware of my behavior and surroundings. I do that because I want to.

I am not a perfect human being, but I strive to do the best that I can. I strive to uphold values and morals that I believe in. I do this because I care about others. I have created a simple formula to create a better and beautiful world for all. Here it is:

Strong Individual → Strong Relationship/Marriage → Strong Family → Strong Community → Strong Nations → Strong World!

I am going to explain my formula in greater detail in future blog posts.

Thank you for reading! Stay tuned!
