What or who lights up your world? If you could tell one person about the things that make you the most happy what would it be? Would you tell them about material things like money and your possessions or would you tell them about your experiences and the people who make your life worth living? When you think about the world we live in today, do you see the bad things or the good?
Make a list about all the good things you see each day, each week, each month. Read it to remind you about how good it can be instead of how bad. Sometimes the world can be so filled with the ugly that it's hard to remember that there is still anything good left in it.
If you could tell someone all about you with them never having seen you before where would you start? Would you go into telling them about your physical appearance; hair and eye color, height, weight? Would you start with your favorite TV show, or how you think the orange in the sunset is the most beautiful thing in the world. How long would you ramble about yourself until you got embarrassed and looked away blushing.
If you could list all of the things you loved, where would you place yourself on that list.
Sometimes I get the nighttime rambles where I ask myself all of these questions. Sometimes I try to think about answers to the world's problems, how I would fix things, if they could be fixed. At times like these I always like to think of a quote I once read but don't know the author of, "The trick is that as long as you know who you are and what makes you happy it doesn't matter how others see you."
