I am extremely happy and relieved that this semester at school is finally done. Today, just a day after submitting the biggest and most intellectual paper that I have ever been asked to do amongst two finals, a project and another seven-page paper, the amount of stress removed from my shoulders is so immense. This year has been simply amazing. I put a lot of stress upon myself in my personal, professional and spiritual lives and for once this year, I feel like I can finally take a deep breath. Of course, I know that these moments of peace and serenity are few and far in between, but I finally feel that I am truly ready to enjoy it for once. When you are able to set goals for yourself and work your butt off to achieve them, nothing is more satisfying.
The universe definitely has thrown its share of wrenches in my strides to achieve my set goals, but with each pitfall or stumbling block thrown at me, I was able to manage my way out scratch free for the most part. Not everything was achievable, not yet any way, but I'm okay with that, I'm okay with taking what is given to me each and every day, both good and bad, take it in stride and persevere on. If anything I say or write in these journals or testimonials ever reaches anyone, my hope is that everyone is able to realize that our pasts mistakes don't define us, they have brought us to where we are in life, but it doesn't have to control your life. Only you can control the way things effect you and our pasts are just that, in the past. All we can do is try and be better today, than we were the day before. Our egos and subconscious tell us all kinds of fallacies that we can't change, we can never overcome our obstacles, etc. but in reality, if we just focus on the present moment things can and will change much quicker than you think.
I hope everyone can enjoy the last few weeks of the year and wrap up their 2024 with friends and family. Cherish the moments while they are happening. This is a crazy world we live in, let us be part of the calming of the storm rather than creating more chaos. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and embrace the moment. Until next time...
