Finding your passion in life

Something I strive for is finding what I'm passionate about in life. It makes life feel more complete, more fulfilling. The easiest way to do this is to go outside of your comfort zone in order to try new things; you'll never experience life nor find what you truly enjoy in life by standing still. I myself took a little goading (and the occasional kick in the ass) to get to where I am now.

Try to live each day to your own expectations; don't let yourself be tied doen by the expectations of others. Experience new things. Find the thing/s that bring your life joy.

Some Things are for Us

Everyone is different, so there are some things that we can do that others can't. We each have different strengths and weaknesses, and we all have a skill others lack; the important thing to do is keep searching until you find it.

Getting out of your Comfort Zone

One thing many people don't do is get out of their comfort zones. In my opinion, that is a reasonably distasteful way to live one's life due to the fact that they'll never really be able to get to where they might want; they'd be taking the easy way out. Leaving your comfort zone means taking a risk, and risk taking is an important part of living one's life.

A Quick Poem to a Friend

Hard to put your heart at ease
But why, I cannot surmise
That I can't be poetic when I please
Especially when uninspired

How to Stay Motivated

One thing many people find difficult is staying motivated, and it can drastically affect one's day.

I myself found it difficult to leave my bed for a time because I had lost the motivation to do more than simply exist; I had lost the passion I used to have.

Reach for a goal to motivate you for someone YOU are striving for. Keep looking forward.

What Constitutes Living a Good Life?

To me, living a good life involves living the life that YOU want to live, striving for your dreams bit by bit. Don't give into the expectations of other people; you need to live for yourself. Reach for the things that make you happy.

The Success in your Failures

You will never be able to fully appreciate success until you've felt the sting of failure, ironic as it seems. The bad things in life allow you to fully understand and truly appreciate the good things in life. In addition, failure is more of a learning curve that prepares you for success. Everyone experiences failure. That's just how life is; the important thing to remember is that you need to pick yourself up when you fall, that the failures prepare you for success.

Sweetest of Memories

Memories are eternal
Rich pages we turn back,
Pages of a seemingly never ending story we shall never see the ending to

Reminiscing in the past
Living for the present
Reaching for the future

My memories of you, of me
They'll never die

Quote by a Friend named Lance

"Never stop learning."

Opportunities in Life

Take advantage of opportunities that come your way. Many opportunities will present themselves to you and any of them can really change your life. That being said, some will only present themselves once, and the door may close itself to you forever if you don't take it.

Never Give Up!

One thing that should always be remembered is that one must never give up. Success can only be achieved if you keep striving for it. Events rarely pan out the way we expect and prepare for; life will catch us off guard.
Most true goals in life are difficult to achieve, some to the point where we believe they're out of our grasp. An important part of maturing is realizing that we need to keep going, because when we give up on something and quit moving forward to reach it, then it's guaranteed that we won't succeed.

Never give up on your dreams, because you will regret it.

Life is Great

Look at the sky
And now, everyone around

Despite the mouthful of lies
And always falling down

It all happens for a purpose
And it's fine in the end

Like the beauty and thorns of a rose
You make, and you lose, friends

It's not always easy
But live it for your sake

That feeling of being free
Life is great

Greetings

Hello to you all. My name is James, and I'm sort of new to the whole blogging thing, so please bear with me. It's going to be interesting, and I can't wait to begin blogging (hopefully on a regular basis). For the most part, I've never actually done a blog, so I'm going to be making this up as I go along. I would also like some feedback from readers to see what I can improve on (more general things that I can work on to improve the overall quality of my blog). It's good to be here, and I hope to be able to update regularly and build up a quality blog for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for bearing with me up to this point, and I hope you have an excellent day.
