Life

I'm going through a huge transition in my life, and you know, for what it is, I'm taking it pretty well. Of course, my head feels like it's going to explode sometimes, but for the most part I'm able to wake up every morning and smile about something - many things - in my life. My secret is simply keeping my goals and dreams in front of me, appreciating every little thing I have, and remembering that I am in control of myself. A mentor of mine said, "I always ask myself why people want to give others so much power over their feelings by saying, 'you made me mad.' No, those are your feelings, own them. You generate the feelings you feel and the thoughts you think. Other people influence them, but you ultimately control them." And it's so true. I live for that right there. I'm reading "Slaughterhouse Five" right now, and I finally watched "Scarface" for the first time yesterday. NUTS! These two works of literature were driving me insane! I mean, Slaughterhouse - that poor Billy Pilgrim! And, Scarface. Tony Montana... Yikes. Manolo on the other hand... Anyway, those are my thoughts for the day. I'm dedicating this blog to my newest favorite song, and a very accurate, instrumental metaphor of life ironically named... Life by John Dahlback. Enjoy. SG http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBVjXIseNOE
