Everyone has problems, if we didn't we wouldn't be human. The problem I have is when people complain about things that are not a big deal. I have been overwhelmed lately with people who think their world is falling apart and are so upset about everything. Last night at dinner I had to hear someone complain because someone the use not love won't buy them a 1500 dollar bag. They complained how terrible this is and how it is so hard to work a part time job..blah blah blah...I'm over it! I have about forty of these stories that I hear daily and I think it is stupid and not worth my time. Since my Grandfather died two years ago I look at the world differently. Here is my philosophy if you aren't dying, your family isn't dying, you aren't homeless, and you have love in your life suck it up. The world isn't fair and no one cares. I know this is harsh, but its pretty much true. DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF is what I'm saying. For example, I just lost the person I wanted to spend my life with and it sucks BIG time, but I sit next to a lady at one of my jobs who told me that it took her son six years to get over a girl he dated for two years. He actually left school because of this and at 28 is just now back in college. I know everyone deals with stuff differently, but I feel like we as people need to keep going forward and not back. We need to take the things in life that challenge us everyday and pray and look deep inside and keep going. For 2012 I want everyone I know to look at me as an example of how to move forward and toward their dreams. I feel like that would be the best gift to ever give anyone.
So if you read this (if anyone actually reads this) make a list of the things in your life that you aren't happy with and then look inside and out on how you can change this. If you can't change it try to work out a way where you can at least deal with it. Then make a list of the things you want to complete or try for 2012 and then a list of things you want to do before you die. This will give you ways to move forward and live your life to the fullest. This is what I am going to do and i will share some of my list with you.
2012:
Get into law school
Buy new furniture
Learn to love what is given even if I want more
Go to church more
Only spend money that I have
Forgive more
Lose more weight
Travel in the U.S. more
Give more to charity

Be more honest with people
(This is just a few......
