It's been one of those months. You know, where there is not a lot of motivation. Frustration and aggravation tend to trump motivation when the two are linked together.
Have you ever said a prayer, and then apologized to God - because your request really just in the grand scheme of things is probably...well, pathetic?
"Please make ______ stop doing what they are doing. Because if they don't, I'm going to lose my frackin' mind!"
For the most part, if we need things to change, or want them to change, we have to take the first step. Divine intervention is not really an option. In my humble opinion, God has a greater plan, and it doesn't consist of ridding me of all my annoyances and making MY life easier, and saving me from all that is painful, and heart wrenching, and even dreadful.
So, here is to all the lovely beings that have come and gone from my life. The ones that I can't seem to get away from, the ones that I want to stay with forever (if only this life would allow), and the ones that break my heart and melt it at the same time, (children). You have made me who I am, and from you I have learned more than I wanted to at times, there's been joy, sadness, grief, unconditional love, hatred, and every other strong emotion I could possibly conjure up.
I ramble on about this because on days like this, sometimes I wonder why I am where I am at this moment, and all I know is that I am supposed to be here, and all I want is to know where to go next. What is my next step? Days like this where I haven't had a chance to even shower yet, I ate Top Ramen for lunch, and I am bored out of my mind, and too exhausted to do anything about it. :-)
And for the love of diapers, where is my motivation?
Thanks, Bill.
Bill Gates: 11 Things You Won't Learn in High School
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one
