Blabbering: Inspiration of the Week

Hi Everyone!! It’s been a while, huh? I know. I’ve been busy with school L But, my first quarter as a Nursing student is over! YAY!! Ok, let’s get right into it. So, I’ve been feeling a little down lately. Reason being is that I feel like I have a lot of wonderful, creative ideas that I would like to share with the world, but I have no way of doing that. There is a great deal of personal goals that I would accomplish in a short amount of time, but I’m preoccupied with school so I feel like I should finish my schooling first.

So, yesterday I received an email from a blog I follow. It was so inspiring!!!! A woman by the name of Jen created, as well as runs, a blog entitled MadeByGirl. When I first started following her blog, I honestly didn’t check it regularly because I thought she only had posts about interior decorating, or outfits and things of that sort. But, I was completely wrong. The email from Jen’s latest post has really inspired me and gave me a new outlook on how I would like to achieve my goals.

There was a quote from a book entitled “She” by Kobi Yamada. I’m not sure what the book is exactly about but it looked like a book full of inspiring quotes. (You can find it here if you’re interested in purchasing it). It read: She took the leap and built her wings on the way down. That really struck out to me. I’ve been afraid to take my “leap” sort a say because I’m (1) scared to death of heights, (2) I petrified to fall, and most importantly (3) I don’t have any wings to help me fly in case I fall. Sadly, what I failed to comprehend is, I don’t need the wings to take the leap; I just have to put all my fears aside and take my leap! Taking a leap would be really beneficial to my future. I know what I want in life and I cannot afford to just sit back and watch my life go by without doing what I enjoy.

Time is something that you can never get back, so why waste it? You have to live for today because tomorrow may never come. As a matter of fact, tomorrow is today. Why would you put off something you can do tomorrow if you can do it today? That doesn’t make any sense to me. Sometimes I get a little discouraged when I think of everything I want to do along with the finances, or what if I fail, or what if no one likes it. After listening to my mom, and really appreciate what she says, I believe my time will come. I just have to continue to work towards what my goals and believe in myself. I am the only person who will get me to where I want to be in life. The decisions I make today, good or bad, will affect my future tomorrow.

If you know me, you know that music really speaks to me. The song “I Need You Once Again” by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has helped me continue my walk with Christ in more ways that anyone will ever know. Another song is “I’ll Live for You” by CeCe Winans. I would definitely recommend both of these songs if you’re ever feeling down or searching for peace of mind!

I consider endurance, patience, and time management to be cherished abilities in my life. I have all those qualities so I know for sure that my goals WILL get accomplished! So, stay tuned..
