Life is Beautiful.

I can't help but be thankful for everything that has ever happened to me. I'm so happy that I've had the chance to live through bad times and good times, just to have the chance to live at all, and feel ANYTHING, I'm thankful.

I know times are hard sometimes, and when you feel like complaining, think about this; would you rather feel this way, or not exist at all? You've been given life, you get to experience everything life has to offer. Think of all the little sperms your daddy shot into your mama when you were conceived. You beat out about 4 million other sperm trying to get into that egg, the rest just died. I'm sure all of them would be glad to take your place.

You know what else I realized today? That you can do anything. ANYTHING. I figured it out while I was waiting in line to buy some stuff at Wal-mart, it ws like a had a moment of complete clarity! Listen to this...

I was looking at the woman in front of me in line, and I thought to myself, "You know, I could punch this woman in the back of the head as hard as I could right now, and probably kill her." My fist balled up, and my brain traced a flight path for my fist to follow. My muscles gauged themselves, ready to follow through. Then I relaxed. I wouldn't do it! That would be fucked up as hell, there are consequences to be had. But, as I stood there thinking about what just could have happened, I realized that at any time, I could do anything I wanted out of nowhere, and I would completely flip the script on anyone who thought they had me figured out. I began to understand just how powerful I was now that I had this knowledge.

People like to place limits on themselves, they say "I can't do it." That shuts off your brain!! If you say you can't do it, then your brain clicks off like a light bulb. Instead of saying, "I can't do it", try saying...

"How can I do it?"

This starts your brain working, looking for an option! It doesn't shut it down, it makes it go! Think about it, when was the last time you placed a limit on yourself, when you told yourself that you couldn't do something?

Here's an example of when I placed a limit on myself...

I really wanted to smack my mom in the face once, but I didn't want to face the consequences of doing that. I told myself "I couldn't do it. I can't get away with slapping mom without repercussions." Then I started asking myself how I could do it, and I came up with a solution! I waited until mom was asleep, I snuck in her room, AND I SLAPPED HER SO HARD SHE WAS KNOCKED INSTANTLY UNCONSCIOUS, RIGHT BACK INTO SLEEP!!!! She woke up with a big purple handprint on her face, she couldn't figure out what happened.
