Do you ever look around you and see everyone receive an amazing opportunity, but you? By this, I mean, where is the silver lining in my life? When is something Amazing going to come along in my life?
Ugh.
I'm happy for all those who have received such great opportunities, yet I have not received any. I'm happy for the girl in Philosophy class that received a full-ride to law school. I am glad my old Physics partner received the Teaching Fellows scholarship. I am excited my best friend was offered a chance to be in the Honors Society here at ECU.
Yet, when can I be happy for myself?
What I am coming to realize is that I keep thinking of myself and what I want. I am not really envious, but really just impatient. I have a feeling something great is going to come in my life soon- I just have to be patient.
Another thing, I know I need to plant seeds in all the dirt that's surrounding me in my life. All three of the people I have noticed that received great things did so with the use of hard work, harvesting for a sweeter melon of life.
Yes, that was a cheesy metaphor.
But, it's true! If I want to receive that Nursing Scholarship again (heck, even get into Nursing School), I need to work my fanny off and become involved in extra-curricular activities. If I want to sing the Soprano solo of Gloria by Revoldi (sp?), I need to practice everyday to get the part. If I want amazing opportunities to happen in my life, I need to plant seeds in my garden.
Life is a Garden, dig it.
