Set Up For Failure

I want to start by apologizing for the long wait for a new post. I recently started college, and it is definitely an eye opener. That is why I have not had much time to blog, but my experience in the short time I've been here has influenced my topic for today -are we set up for failure in the world? I want to address this issue to get people to think about the odds that are against them that they may not think about, and help them to think on how they can effectively and successfully overcome those obstacles.

Accepting Yourself

We have all had those time when we look at ourselves and wonder why someone doesn't like us, or why we are perceived as "different" because of how others see us. This usually leads down two roads. The first road is merely accepting the fact that there are differing qualities between you and others. The other road is insecurity. We enter a phase where we are racking our brains trying to figure out why we are different and whether it is bad or not. This is known otherwise as insecurity. This is also a characteristic that holds us back in life. Once a person becomes insecure, they lose self-esteem, one of the worst things that could ever happen to a person. Why? Because it means you will fall victim to the world and its negative influences. Whatever the case may be, it is a virus that lives inside of you until you can overcome it.

I Just Don't Get It

Life. That word in itself carries so much impact and significance, you wouldn't believe. Thus leading to the question: What is the meaning of life? I am going to end your long journey of searching for this answer right now. There is none. Life can not have a definition because it has no particular way it operates, never is the same for every person, and does not follow a natural order. It’s funny how life is, as complicated as it may be. Like how here I am typing this piece while you’re reading it at whatever given point in time. That’s more of a phenomenon actually, so let’s get back to the point - life. One thing I've noticed is how there are so many contradictions in life. For instance, people will tell you never judge a book by its cover, yet when they see someone dressed or acting a certain way, they are so quick to judge. Why do certain wealthy individuals believe they are better than less fortunate people, when some of them came from the same situations.
