Appreciate your friends

"it is with gratitude that i get to walk with you toward your vision of excellence, compassionate service and informed hope." Mary Anne Radmacher Lean Forward into Your Life.

"Be the peace you wish to see in the world." Mohandas K. Ghandi

"What if it's true that...the main purpose of my life is that my mistakes should serve as a warning to others?" Mary Anne Radmacher Lean Forward into Your Life

I don't know if I'd like that, but I guess... as long as my life serves a purpose. I hope that's not all it is, though. I hope I have a more important purpose. On the other hand, as long as I can help someone, I'll feel a little bit important.

"If I am dissatisfied with the where of where I stand and the what of what I do, I can either:
a) change the dreams I'm dreaming or
b) love the life I'm living, and live it knowing it is everything I need." Mary Anne Radmacher Lean Forward into Your Life

What dreams am I dreaming? I'm dreaming about a career, school, and my own family someday. I'm not willing to change those dreams for anyone. So, then I love the life I'm living and live it knowing it is everything I need.

Something my mom always told me: Don't be afraid to ask for what I need, and give whatever help I can. I usually try to, but there comes a point when you need to help yourself. Why do I not ask for help? Because I've been shot down alot, and I've just kinda learned to do whatever needs to be done, rather than count on someone else doing it.

  1. What dreams am I dreaming? I'm dreaming about a career, school, and my own family someday. I'm not willing to change those dreams for anyone. So, then I love the life I'm living and live it knowing it is everything I need.

    Is this true? You love the life you are living? and that it's every thing you need?

    I'm glad you're still reading the book. It's fabulous. Enlightening. Challenging. And a litte bit in your face.
