Be Inspired To Be Yourself

Stop acknowledging the limitations on yourself my friend.

Be Inspired To Be Yourself

Stop acknowledging the limitations on yourself my friend.

You may accept, but NEVER acknowledge. Just as my friend Martin Luther King refused to acknowledge the limitations he lived with. He believed there would be a day where all children regardless of color can enjoy the fruits of the future. So he looked past the limitations and sparked a revolution that will always be a turning point in history. Yet he took the first step that all great rulers must take, accept the limitations. Realize that limitations are in your current situation. Although you have the power to elevate them higher than ever before. So I ask of you to free yourself from the constructs you have created. Only realize why you are a unique human being.

For the only enemy you face stares at you in the mirror when you wake up. It is the person in the mirror that will be with you every step of the way. Your #1 fan and your 1 enemy. So be kind to the person in the mirror, for he is the reason you are alive today. He thanks the younger version of yourself for working hard where it count. He is also counting on you to have the future version of yourself pleased as well. So look only at the distortion in your eyes, not in the eyes of judgmental.

Do not allow yourself to be distracted by comparison, it is our greatest enemy. We are the creators and thinkers who decide if the impossible is plausible. From comparison we create limitations. So if you wish to cut the ropes that hold you down, look into the true form of yourself. Reach to the heart, soul, and mind together; there you begin break free.

It is in the eyes of the beholder, that a reality is created. It is the man, 100 years ago, who dived into his imagination. He looked past his current limitations and circumstances, to bring you the technologies of today. Yet to reach new heights, the man conquered himself. It is the human that rules the land with his mind and sees himself as a peasant in the depths of the ocean who will truly free himself. Exposed to his limitations, he realizes that he will never be a big fish in a big pond. That is why a man cannot breathe under water, his skill is valued less than that of a goldfish! To realize that humans such as ourselves are so vulnerable to the constructs of nature. We will never overcome these limitations but will always believe we can. We admit that limitation is there, but we refuse to let it control us. We continue to evolve and progress for the sake of proving the norms we live in wrong.

Realizing this battle of the human mind, you understand why humans truly are the most thought provoking and inspiring. We choose look at the chains on our hands and feet and continue to break them. Even if new chains are put on our intellect, we wish to break them again. It is as if our reality wishes to control us, yet we do not comply. So I ask you all, as my friends, to not let your circumstance and reality control you. Accept but not acknowledge. It is at this moment, you will become your own ruler.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
