3/4: Define your character
In class today we tried to find our slogan or short statement to describe you. I felt simplicity was key in this exercise. Its hard to pin point one exact aspect of life that I keep close to me. Between letting material be material, conflicts become water under the bridge, and making the most out of everyday. I found the statement "Live a Little" to encompass my goals using my youth, my health, and resources available to me to the most of my ability. At the end of the day we can't control the fact that there is so much in our reality we wont understand (or live long enough to understand), that at least for the moment one should be stress free and just live. Find purpose in others and the tangible things you have control over, but don't get worked up and distracted by what you cant control. We should be able to realize theres always room to "live a little."
While some maybe be frustrated and think its not as simple as that, given the adjectives I received of friendly, chill, family/friend oriented, approachable, etc. I feel everyone can relate to these feelings or at least strive to get to that level of thinking.
I wont lie to myself or anyone that there are difficult days or days where I question my values, but when I take a step back I definitely can pinpoint my errors and catch myself before spiraling.
So live a little!
