Kind. Under all circumstances. I never want to be the cause of someone thinking they are worthless, dumb, ugly, or useless. Instead, i want them to feel everything positive. I want them to feel loved. No matter what.
genuine. i want to be sure i am genuinely caring for those around me. Not for show or praise, but for honesty.
honesty. I never want to tell a lie, or even an over exaggeration. I want to be trustworthy. A true, friend.
true. I want to stay true to who i am, what i believe, and to those i love.
hard work. I want to stop being lazy and work for the good and betterment of all things. If i have the power to change something, then it should be done.
inspired. i want to be inspired for daily things around me, and inspire things around me daily.
grateful. I want to be grateful and take notice of all the greatness around me. I know there is so much. {thus the reinstatement of thankful thursdays.}
strength. I want the strength to change.
laughter. I want to enjoy life. So often i find myself criticizing the pointlessness of it all, when with just as much enthusiasm i could be relishing and enjoying it.
But perhaps most of all, I want to make people feel "on top of the world." All the time, no matter who they are. Because, i believe you are. or, can be.
list after list after list, with almost the same things written down.. and yet i still don't find myself posessing all of the qualities i so desperetly need. and I hate when it comes to the hurt of someone else, for me to see just how far i've come from where i want to be. I know a general apology over something as silly as a blog couldn't make up for all the lies, belittling, backstabbing, and frustration i have been apart of, or caused, but it is a start. And i sincerely want all those who have been affected to know that i am genuinely sorry. And that I am truly going to try, daily, to become better. To become a friend you do deserve. I also would like to thank all of you guys who are continually trying. You are an inspiration to me, and though I fear my climb up is going to be slippery, Its you I look to for encouragement. If you can do it, so can i. We all can.
Here's to a week of truly trying to become better.
one step at a time.
"and why should i yield to sin, because of my flesh? Yea, why should I give way to temptations, that the evil one has placed in my heart to destroy my peace and afflict my soul? Why am i angry because of mine enemy? Awake my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul."
