Trapped in Your Own Mind, Disillusioned by the World

The path to success would never be easy.
If it has been, than it's merely called a blessing. And blessings will never last.
If you see someone glamorous, you see only a fraction of him.
If you feel that life has always been a breeze, then you are not working hard enough.
If you feel that life is a chore, then you are too hard on yourself.

If you are starting to dread life and feel sorry for yourself, tell you what, that's completely uncool and stupid.
If you only envy the others and blame your fate, tell you what, it's time to start working for yourself.
If you can't find anything to spur yourself on tell you what:
1. You control your own life.
2. You can mess up your life or live it to the fullest.
3. Your success is all yours to claim.
4. Your parents love you.
5. Your parents feel unhappy when you don't although they don't show it.
6. You have only one life.
7. If this is doesn't appeal to you, try this:
8. Work for someone else.
9. Work for your parents.
10. Make them proud of you.
11. Make your success the bonus of their life.
12. Work for your friends. (I mean true friends.)
13. Try, fail, cry, succeed and weep with them.

Sidetrack a little...
True friends are really hard to find.
Good friends are only a handful.
A friend for a lifetime, is to be treasured.
What I reckon should one call a true friend:
1. She tells you that your mouth realy shoots off at the wrong time.
2. She tells you off for spending too much money.
3. She stands up for you when the big bully scorns at you.
4. She stays commited to the friendship.
5. She doesn't try to lick your boots... or your toes.
6. You open your heart to her.
7. You tell her your darkest secret without feeling darn stupid. (Unless you are really shy... but at least you said.)
8. You feel at ease with her.
9. You don't leave her just because you are sick of sticking around her.

10. Both of you treasure the friendship.
11. You want to be friends for life.
12. You envision her being your bridesmaid... (hehe!!)

Remember, you are not God, you are not perfect.
Remember, you are not Almighty, you won't be able to control your life and plan every single detail and despair when you don't meet your expectations.

Be at ease with yourself.
Don't be taunted by the world.
Remember, the world is NOTHING without us.
It's not abnormal that life is especially hard.
It's just that you've reached another stage of your life.
