Baby Steps

Sometimes I sit and wonder about what exactly is my purpose in life.

I am certain many of us have this same moment 

Where the future seems like a land of confusion, change,

And UNCERTAINTY.

And because of this uncertainty, 

Some of us go through a time in our life

Where "You're trying to act older and mature

But you really have no idea what you're doing"

And this morning I realized that 

It's okay to be scared.

It's okay be uncertain of what tomorrow holds.

It's okay to stumble while trying achieve something

It's even okay NOT to know what to do.

Because life is a journey with twists and turns, ups and downs.

And before you learn how to run, you have to baby steps.

So I am taking baby steps.

And readers, if you feel like you need to take baby steps,

IT'S OKAY.

You've got a whole journey to catch up on running :)

F.A.I.T.H

Someone once said:

"Have faith, trust and Belief.

Just because others can't do it, doesn't mean you can't.

Be the one to make the world stop and watch.

Prove the world WRONG.

Live YOUR DREAMS"

And in this moment, I feel that we OUGHT

To ourselves to TRY to make our dreams our reality.
Sometimes we forget who we are

And we lose sight of how much we can offer to the world

So readers, if you are out there

Trying to figure out if you can do it

The answer is YES.

All you have to do is believe in yourself.

And you can and WILL acheive any goal you set for yourself.

Stay positive,

 ♥ Gigi

Be...GOOD.

It annoys me when people can't accomplish a given task the right way.

If you're a friend, be a GOOD friend.

If you're a teacher, be a GOOD teacher.

If you have a job, be a GOOD employee.

Most importantly, if you mess up

Don't blame the whole world.

Just admit you did a mistake and 

Try to fix it.

Really it's THAT simple.

All we need to do in our personal lives is to

Try our best in everything you try to accomplish.

"Whatever you are, be a GOOD one"
That is All,
Gigi  :)

End of the Road...

I read this quote and it made my day

So I am going to make your day readers by sharing!

"Tough times NEVER last, but tough people do." ~ Robert H. Schuller

This is my little moral boost to you guys all the way from FL :)

Will Power

They say some things in life are impossible to acheive.

I say "If there is a will, there's a way"

I have lived by this motto for the past four years,

And truth be told, it is true!

So readers, my food for thought for today is

If you want something, you will find a way to get it.

Find the determination to acheive that something,

And find the best way to make it happen!

 

So Go for it.

With no fear.

With all your will.

JUST GO FOR IT.

Stay determined,

Gigi

True Beauty

The other day, I was walking around the mall and

I noticed that our society is very superficial.

When you walk into a store, they have a definite picture 

Of what they want us to believe is beauty.

And that annoyed me.

I am sorry but who are they to define beauty?

When did it become obligatory for us to look all the same to be beautiful?

Who gave them the right to set guidelines on what is beautiful?

Since when being skinny was the IT of being beautiful?

Or better yet,

Since when having a certain nose classified a person as beautiful? 

Or my least favorite, 

Since when did the color of your skin become a criteria of beauty?

It has gotten to the point where 

We start to judge people based on these given criteria.

I will be honest and say that I did it the other day

And classified a random person based on mere appearances.

Quite frankly, I was ashamed.

I should know better. 

We should know better to judge people based on appearances.

What makes a person beautiful is more then their physical.

True beauty comes from within.

And throughout the years I have learned that

The only person that isn't beautiful, 

Cannot see the beauty within others.

Better yet, the person who isn't beautiful 

Cannot see the beauty within themselves.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross once said:

"People are like stained-glass windows. 

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, 

But when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed 

Only if there is a light from within"

So readers, learn how to define YOUR beauty.

And make sure your beauty is not just superficial

Make sure your beauty comes from WITHIN

Overrated Uniqueness

So as I was walking around campus today 

I realized that many of the girls and guys 

With supposedly edgy "hairstyles" and outfits

Looked pretty much the SAME.

Everybody wants to be artistic,

Everybody wants to be DIFFERENTLY cool.

Everybody wants to go natural.

(Disclaimer: I am not against natural hair, 
I am just tired of women doing it because everybody else is doing it)

So this got me thinking

Since everyone is trying so hard lately to be unique

Eventually, everybody will look the same, act the same.

It will be like watching living photocopies...

So next time, you are trying so hard to be unique

To make others realize that you are "important"

Let's face it, you were important from the get go

No need to try so hard.

Besides, a philosopher once said:

“Of course you’re unique, just like everyone else".

Stay True to Yourselves Readers,
♥ Gigi

Expectations.

 A long time ago

I've learned that even the best intentions

Can lead to disasters.

I've learned you can never expect anything from anyone.

No matter who it is. 

The second you expect something from someone, 

You're setting yourself up for heartbreak.

So I am sorry if it is hard for me to see the best in everything or everyone.

But it's I know that its better, NOT to expect anything

Unfulfilled expectations lead to pain and disappointment.

While when you didn't expect anything

And something good happens, it give you pleasure.

So I am going to keep on expecting nothing from nobody but ME

This way, I'll know what to expect at ALL times.

Stay true to yourself readers.

Wish Upon a Star

We live and learn.

Well, so far I've lived and learned that

Sometimes in life,  we get caught up wishing
For something that will never happen

BUT

Sometimes, if we reach for the stars and 

Never, ever ever give up.

Never tell ourselves no.

We can achieve anything.

It may take days, months, years and even decades

But once you catch that star

The reward is breathtaking.

So that's what I am doing

I am wishing upon two stars

And when I get them,

It will be worth it.

♥ Gigi
