The Power is in My Hands

Basically today was a fun filled day for me.  I bought about 6 books, and I don't know what it's about books, but they bring so much excitement to me.  I believe you can learn from either talking to intellectual people or from reading! And since i'm not surrounded by those people every day I choose to read.  The most important book i bought today was 'The Power' the sequel to 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne.  Basically just like when I read the secret, the entire book inspired me, therefore as i'm going along reading the power, which we will abbreviate as TP, i'm going to point out things that really have an affect on my thinking... As I read I have a lavender wax candle lit, I read that lavender is a great scent to relax to.  Well here goes.

• 'You are creating your life with your thoughts and your feelings'.  "If you think and feel 'i've got a difficult and stressful day today' than you will attract back to you all people, circumstances, and events that will make your day difficult and stressful." and obviously if you think the opposite which is positivity than you will attract great good things in your day.  This is something that might be hard to do at first because even when things do get shitty you have to remember that the way you think about the situation will determine the outcome of the day.  Everything is in your hands.

• 'Most people think and talk about what they DON'T love more than they think and talk about what they love.  They give out more negativity than love.'  By doing this we are pushing away the good things in life, why because we focus on the negative bad things that, that is what we attract. 

•  This next one is one I need to work on.. "There are many little things that happen each day; if you get caught up in talking about what you don't love, every one of those little things brings more struggle and difficultly to your life."  This is a biggie.. why because it could be little things such as running late for class, or upset that it's raining and if we focus on these things and get so upset about them, which we do! than it will add stress to the situation at hand.  Remember 'Don't sweat the small stuff.'

I will continue more with more inspiring quotes when I continue reading...  With that said, to be continued... lol

My Life ... As of Now...

So I guess I can give you some input on what's up with me.... Well where do I begin... I obviously have this blog because I have a lot to say or is it because I like to hear my self repeatdly talk about my life?? Ummm either one, one day when i'm gone, you'll have this to look at and laugh and ummm just remember me by right?! lol.

Well I just graduated from a 4 year undergraduate institution.  My life as i've known it for 4 years is gone, just like that.  It's suppose to be this achievement but I feel like something that was mine! was taken from me... Well it could be the fact that I was so comfortable of having an escape after each summer at home.  And now that I don't have that to look forward to, well it kind of stinks.  Even though I was an adult at college I was still a college adult! Now that i'm done i'm a adult, its the real world somewhat, and i'm not looking forward to it!  I'm beginning my masters in two weeks in the state that I've been living in for 22 years!  I should be happy about graduate school but temporarily I am not! My plans and focus right now are to go part-time to school and hopefully get accepted at out of state graduate schools for the spring.  I will also be applying to graduate schools that begin in the fall of 2011.  Meaning i'll get to know before hand if i'm accepted and maybe even move to that state and get to know the city i'll be living in.  It's a big step leaving everything i've known for 22 years.  But change is good right.  Change is important, it's important not to be comfortable.  I want to go somewhere new where I know nothing and no one, and no one knows me.  I want to learn about a new location, it's culture, it's people, being able to explore, network and most importantly grow!  Some people may not understand this decision, but most are supporting me 100%.  I've spoken with a few adults who say 'I have no regrets in life, but if I could do it again, i'd travel, i'd study, live elsewhere.'  Therefore what more proof do I need.  I don't want to be one of those adults, regretting something, regretting a new experience.  I have some regrets in life and I know how it feels to regret and it's not a good feeling.  Therefore i'm not going to focus on the negativity on the subject or how it'll feel leaving what I know and those I love.  I'll focus on that when the time comes.  Right now, I have goals, plans, dreams, that I have to put into action.  When all this is done i'll let you know.  And when I have good news I'll keep you posted... When I have bad news... I'll keep you posted as well.. 

Wish me Luck...

The Beginning

So I took upon this task of beginning my own blog.  Why. Well I like the thought of being able to write down all my thoughts.  But I just didn't want to have the typical blog that someone has to post their every day tasks/actions like twitter.  I wanted to go about this with a task a job at hand.  Maybe only talk about new experiences or a new activity i've done, something different.  But now that I begin I realized I am 22 years old going through new life situations and experiences every day.  The incredible thing about this is that it's anonymous.  I can write down all my experiences that are occurring at this time.  All the thoughts and things that are leading to my future, to my success.  I can't promise you I'll write everyday, and i'm sorry if I go overboard and write too many times a day.  But I hope to keep you entertained and to also look back at this and see how much i've learned and how much i've grown.


I chose the title 'The Secret 365 Days' due to the change i've encountered myself mentally from reading various books lately.  I began to really enjoy reading last summer.  I find it easy to read books I enjoy in the summer when school is off.  Back to the title, after reading the book 'the Secret' it opened my eyes to this law of attraction that exists, that many of us don't know about, and definitely don't use.  I think this is a book that just opened up my thinking to how far our own thinking can take us.  I recommend this book to everyone and anyone.  It's something some of us already know how to do, and something a lot of us don't do and should!  I added the 365 days because what's better than following the rules of the secret year round.  But I did read a book called '365 Ways to Live Happy'  which obviously consisted of 'simple ways to find joy every day'.  So that's basically how I came up with my title... if you were wondering.
   

Therefore I begin my journey...
