Changing your Life-Faith

My mother told me that my father had wanted to be a sports writer, which I believe he would have been really good at. He was enrolled at a University and told this to his journalism professor. The professor thinking it or he was unworthy discourage him, and my father took what he said to heart, and promptly withdrew not only from the class but from school. He believed that if he could not do what he wanted to do, why continue.

So how do we know if people are giving us true criticism or advise (like some people need on American Idol) versus a naysayer, someone who just wants to kill our dreams for whatever reason. Is it because they could not do it, or because they don’t think it can be done…and do we listen to them for the same reasons? Regardless of why, I believe that it only matters what we believe. We have to take our own inventory. If we can’t carry a tune, then no, we are not going to be professional singers. We also need to take note that people with an extraordinary talent to sing, do not make it to the professional level, and sometimes people with less talent or someone who does not fit the perfect mold of being a star, succeed. Have you ever noticed that the people that do make it seem a little different. It is as if the song, the music, the voice, or talent is coming from a different place. It’s as if it’s coming from their soul and who they are. They radiate an authentic self and you feel it, and that is what makes them special.

Think of Susan Boyle…,I do not believe that she was thinking of fame or fortune when she stepped onto the stage. She had a dream and just did what she had to do. What she had been practicing to do for years. Her song came from deep within and seem to pour out of her heart, soul, and every pour in her body. It affected billions, and shocked all that had predetermined that she had no talent. That is the difference! That is what you need to know! What is it that you feel like you have to do? What is in your heart and soul? Then start taking the steps to get there-have faith!

Peace Corps – Coming together with our differences!

Goldilocks — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:14:39 +0000

Yesterday I was doing some research into making my dream a reality, and I began looking into the Peace Corps and ran across a blog written by Adam Kelley a Peace Corp Volunteer, currently serving in Uganda. His blog is extremely entertaining and interesting to read, and something he wrote really struck a cord with me. He said “We don’t all have to be the same (language, appearance, education, morals) to come together. In fact, coming together with differences is the only authentic way to unite. If the same, there is no need to unite because we already are “one.””

So let us focus on celebrating our differences, and our own uniqueness!

Making a Difference

Goldilocks — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:52:49 +0000

I ended my blog the other day with my usual tag of Love, Goldi – Searching for the perfect life in a perfect world…but then I added something that has been on my mind for a while. “Remember that to make a difference in the world we need to begin with ourselves. The choices that we make influences everyone around us, and to change any part, changes the whole.” Whatever we do, say, or feel has a rippling effect…if someone walks into the room with a really positive happy outlook, and is boiling over with enthusiasm. You feel it! It makes you start feeling more optimistic, and then it makes who you are around feel a little better, and so on, and so on. Think about it…if everyone just genuinely smiled, even if the thoughts and feelings of gratitude came from the place of Thank God that I have the ability to smile, the world would be a better place. The same weight is placed on our actions and the choice we make. Have you ever noticed if one person moves into a neighborhood and straightens the house and yard up, that it makes everyone else want to do the same. It makes everyone want to be better. So I think our job is the same whether we choose to be Doctors, Housewives, or Automotive Mechanics, we are to be happy with what we choose to do, and we are to do it the best that we can. If we are not, then we need to find what brings us joy. Do not compare yourself with others, just do what feels right for you. Take care of yourself physically and mentally, so that others feel the joy. Choose what is best for you, and you will help make the world a better place!
