How to be a so called, "player" in this game of life..

I just want to start off by saying, there is nothing wrong with trying to be ambitious. It doesn't mean that we are trying to be greedy. I think it means we are wanting to achieve something that is bigger than us so we can attain it and share it with the world. Whether it is money, getting that job, getting that gal/guy, getting that grade, house or getting into that school. Anything.

I try my best, day in and day out to be as content and grateful as I can be. But in the inside, I want more. I know we all want more for ourselves. I say "but," like it's an excuse. It's not. It's an addition to what reminds me of not being complacent. I think at times our mind and body wants to remind us of how much potential we have. I myself, would like to explore that.

Now, I don't want "more" if it means that I'll be acting like I'm better than everybody else. If I know that achieving success, a healthier life, money, nice body etc. will only lead me to hurting those around me and looking like a selfish, showy prick, then I don't even want to bother with all this, it's not worth it. Everything that comes my way, I want to share it with as much people as I can. I don't want to be selfish. I mean, I don't think I am, but maybe some of you do and trust me, I'm so sorry. Let me know and I will work on it. I've sat underneath a tree, thinking about all the times in the past I only did things for myself because I was being a brat and I was lazy. Tisk tisk.

I'm hoping one day I can inspire at least one person, whether it's a homeless man on the street or a kid who doesn't have a father or a mother, like some of us. Doesn't matter, as long as that person I can inspire will make a better difference for himself and others. I saw the Blind Side movie last night, starring Sandra Bullock. It's based on a true story about a poor, homeless kid in high school who is taken in by a family in a suburban home. This family looked beyond this kid's background and displayed great acts of selflessness. This person went on to become an Outside tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. I look at contentment and ambition, and see something bigger when combined. So even with all this, I am incredibly thankful for everything around me. I still sit here tonight, a humbled man and dream about my ambitions to explore my potentials and sharing it with all of you.



Goals for now:
1. Be more thankful
2. Pray/meditate more
3. Eat healthier
4. Work out more
5. Quit less (however you want to look at that)
6. Stop being so judgmental and love more.
7. Be selfless
8. Explore my potentials
