Positively Positive

I was recently asked if I am always like this. This referring to positive and happy. And the truth is, no I have not always been this positive and this happy. And the other part of the truth is that I made a change to be this way. And its a change I made for myself. And in the aftermath of the change I have been the happiest person ever and it is a true blessing! And here's the story....

I woke up today. After a night of sleeping. And during that night I was breathing, dreaming and my heart was beating. At no point during the night did I have to remind myself that I needed to breath, or tell my heart to beat. Or tell my brain to create dreams or be processing or working doing its thing. All of those things, and so many others, were occurring while I was sound asleep. And then I woke up this morning. I woke up alive. I woke up with a purpose. A purpose to live life as happy and positive as I could. And that focus, to be happy and positive is life changing! Negative things still happen in the world, turn on the news! And its okay, the world has a lot to learn and people are still growing and learning daily. And if they were to stop growing or stop learning then we'd be in for a real shocker! And its the learning and growing that really makes each day special and unique. And the manner in which we approach each day is the important fact. Do we choose to see the world as bright as it possibly can be? Do we choose to see the glass half full? Do we choose to be on the cause side of the equation? We can either be at cause in our life, or we can be at effect. Being at cause means taking responsibility for the events that happen in your life, and being at effect means putting the responsibility off to someone or something else. The choice is yours. And the one thing you cannot get away from is that its your life and you have one to life right now!

So yes, I am positive because it is what I choose to focus on. I am happy because it is what I choose to be. I choose to look at the world in the whole, to see the sky above me and the road below me and the space around me. I choose to open my eyes and see past the obvious. I choose to live in a world that is what I want, rather than what I am forced to have.
I am so happy because I am here. In this moment I am present with everything around me. I am picking up on the little movements and the changes in the room around me. I am happy because it is easier and freer to be happy than it is to be unhappy. Its refreshing to be positive. And I plan on being this way for forever. I plan on focusing only on what I want and letting everything else roll off because it is of no use to me anymore. =)

Study Buddy: Rome Midterm Break

So I am currently taking a break from my study of Ancient Rome for my totally awesome midterm tomorrow. And as I continue to study and express excitement over the small amounts of information that I can recall and remember I am becoming more and more skeptical of the study of HISTORY. Yes, I am beginning to wonder at the very very very last minute, end of my time in school that history is not really factual. Just because it has occurred does not mean that it is a truth of what has happened. That saying "lost in translation" has a HUGE impact on any sort of history being read, interpreted, or analyzed. Not only are we looking at a history written either recently or better yet, in the very distant past. We are reading the interpretations of someone else. We are reading the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, HOW, &&&& WHY that was most important to them. We are reading an interpretation of the facts. But we all know that facts get "LOST IN TRANSLATION." Let's use som...

Transition

For awhile now I have been in transition. I have been wondering where my path will lead me this time. And I think I have come to a decision. At first I was thinking of changing up this blog completely, like you followers have seen in the past. Then I remembered the meaning of this blog. I remembered what it stands for in my life journey. I decided I could not change it up completely. Rather I could take a timeout from it and create a new blog for this new journey. And from time to time I could post on this blog. NOMADICBEE. I created this alter ego, this alias, this pen name, etc etc etc. When I was wondering. When I was traveling the tracks less traveled. When I was finding my way, when I was moving around. When I was going to college, creating, defining, and then redefining myself. I am and always will be her, Nomadicbee. This word, sometimes one and sometimes spaced out to two, is me and is part of me. And I will never let it go completely because how can anyone let themselves go c...

To plan or Not to plan

There are some things in life we kind of have to plan. BUT then do we really? I mean we can plan on going on a trip but then the trip gets cancelled. We can plan a career or graduation. Or plan a party. But then might I suggest that the best things in life are sometimes unplanned? For instance, instead of planning, we allow or open ourselves up to the enjoyment of the possibilities and the unexpected or maybe even the expected. There have been a few times that my plans have fallen apart. It becomes a frustration that many of us know all too well. And then the things that I sometimes do not plan for, are the best things EVER! So I challenge you, instead of planning, maybe say I'm open to it!
