The Pursuit of Happiness

Getting back in to the swing of things with school has been kind of hard for me. Five classes and a new job plus my observations in six different schools. It's not more than I can handle just hard to stay focused sometimes. Needless to say, sometimes its hard to stay positive. I love this website called stumbleupon.com and I was stumbling this morning and found this list of little quotes that help with this issue I have been dealing. I thought they were really great so I wanted to pass them on. It can be hard to stay positive in light of all the things going on in life and in your head. I hope this make you smile and think as much as they did for me.

1. The only person that can ever truly make you happy is yourself. Stop depending on everyone else.

2. People lie, stuff happens. Don’t take it too personally.

3. Want people to think you’re amazing? Start believing you are, and then they will too.

4. Smiling is the ultimate anti-depressant. Smile and laugh out loud, it doesn’t look stupid, I promise.

5. The world is never just black and white, right or wrong, one way or another. Try and see things from as many points of view as possible.

6. "Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final"
— Rainer Maria Rilke

7. Have empathy.

8. Gossip, problems of the past, events you cannot control, negative thoughts and negative people; time spent on these is time poorly wasted.

9. When you're jealous or find yourself filled with hate for someone/something, stop. The only person its hurting is you.

10. Although the newest, most expensive material things may make you feel as if you’re a better person, they won’t hold you at night or listen to you when you need it. Make sure your priorities make sense.

11. Step outside your comfort zone- it’s when you’ll really feel alive.

12. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, the people who really matter, don’t mind

13. Let your emotions out sometimes, humans have them for a reason.

14. Celebrate the things you have. Think only positively of the things you don’t (but would like to have) and they too will come.

 
      15. Love unconditionally ♥.

Enjoy! :)

Let's Get This Party Started!

I keep telling myself that I am going to start blogging but just can never get going. I am going to do my best to keep up and actually post stuff on here. Haha. I want this to be a place where I can share with my friends and family about what is going on in my life and what things I am interested in currently. Probably going to be a pretty boring blog! We will see how this goes....
I am about a month into my Junior year of college. Hard to believe! College is going by so fast. I have an amazing job in the Education Department at school and I am living in my first apartment. A lot of positive new changes. But with those comes more responsibility....of course. Paying my first bills and dealing with what's for dinner tonight. It has been good but new and a little stressful. I know that this will be a good year full of new experience and life lessons. Look forward to sharing with everyone about what's going on and what is new!
