A year ago...

From another blog I was attempting to work on I wrote this a year ago... I want to share it again and share it here:

So many people use this time of year to write resolutions. I ask you to write your story. This is chapter X in your life. The past is in the past and the present is now, and tomorrow brings what?

Your focus can greatly determine the direction that your life takes. I am living proof of that. We all have dreams, and we all jump in our car of life and start heading down that road. The next thing we know we get distracted and make a detour. We have made a choice to change direction. Therefore, for some the focus has also changed. You are now driving down that road towards that focus.

Accidents occur when we start driving in the direction of negative focus. I cannot do this- 100miles ahead. I am a failure- 28 miles ahead. I should just settle- 1 mile ahead. As we start passing all these signs and driving with this focus that who we are, where we are going, and what we are doing is negatively impacting our lives, we start to become that focus and that drive.

Imagine a focus on positivity. I am successful- 10 miles ahead. I can do this- 20 mile ahead. I am working hard- 1 mile ahead. Now you are driving your car towards positivity. As your positivity grows, your energy to be motivated grows with you. The focus that you are set upon becomes the fuel for your life. 

Try this exercise:  I want you to write a list of the successes, the accomplishments, and the positive aspects of your life. I bet when you are done with this list, you will see just how amazing you really are. 

Focus on positive areas of your life and your life will continue to be positive.

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!
