Another Day in the life

So it's been a while since the 1st time I wrote in here but I plan to write everyday or at least every week so I don't have to write so much every week.
There is so much that I thought about writing and as I was on the road and away I told myself that when I got home I would do it but I never got back to actually putting it into action. It's been actually a crazy couple of weeks. Last week I went to go see 7 pounds. A great movie with Will Smith again playing a role that left me speechless and a mind full of thoughts, the first being pursuit of happyness. What he portrayed was the idea of true Christ-like love. For he gave his life so others can live in happiness or in a situation that was better than they were in. I started really thinking about what I am doing on a daily that shows this charity that our Lord and Christ would have us do while we are here on this earth. Pretty insightful thinking for a movie.
Also last week I went to the gym with my cousin Dmitri, and I started thinking about who I really was. I noticed that everything that came hard to me I quit at. If its not something I'm good at or comes natural, I just don't try it and that's a problem. Its kind of crazy as I look back at all the decisions I have made may look like hard ones to others but they were actually easy to me. Computers and graphics just come so naturally to me that its just evident that C&M had to be the decision. I was just better at soccer than any other sport so I'm doing that. I guess its just time to really think about what I want to do when I get back huh?

Inspiration
Today was the finale for the greatest loser and it is so amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it. I've been talking to a friend and trying to find out who she really is and as we search for the answer it is slowly working. You see if you constantly care about what others think of you will never get out of this life alive. Success is truly measured by what you do for others not for the things that are given to you like houses and cars. Our greatest potential is to truly become like our Savior and brother, Jesus Christ. Remember the day that we lose ourselves is the day that we truly will find ourselves. Confusing huh :) Think about it.


I'm wondering if there was something else I was suppose to say? I think I need to start carrying a notepad around so I can keep all my ideas. LOL well until next time.
