Self Reflections

I've spent many days of my life pondering, wondering, and analyzing my life. I have tendancies to get lost with life's thoughts and desires that it consumes me and controls me.

I read this quote and it really spoke to me:

"I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." 
Rainer Maria Rilke

I believe I am on this life path to help people. I have always struggled with how, in what format, how do I go about this? I have good logical senses, and great intuition. I would like to use my skills to be a better help to people. Small ways, or large life changing ways, either way, it is what I want to do.

I have created this blog as a resource of happiness, inspiration, and hopefully a place to where people can read my thoughts and gain a new perspective. My life path has recently changed dramatically, because I have changed dramatically. While I figure this all out, I desire to help people as a release of my emotions.

Today I begin with myself.

Recently I have lost 31 pounds and gained self-respect and self-love.
I have opened my heart to people and gained new found fears.
I have lost people and gained a new look on life.

What have you done with yourself lately?

I leave this post with one more quote:

"If you had a friend speak to you the same way you spoke to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend"
