While working in the inner-city of Harlem, NY I kept a blog about the life lessons I learned. Some days I was far too idealistic, while others I was picking myself up out of the gutter. But in the end I'm grateful for it all.

it's interesting how the world is different to everyone: we all make up our world. our viewpoint, our experiences, our mindset, and such completely decides how we view everything around us. while i see a world that is welcoming, full of possibilities, and adventures...another person could view the world as harsh, cold, and hard to live in. it is all what we make of it. i used to say to the kids i worked with "today is going to be a great day if you want it to be". and its kind of/really true. you choose. would you like love in your life? open up your heart. open up your eyes. maybe the man on the corner will show you love through kind words. or a friend through a good conversation. who knows? but i do know that love is out there. maybe you need a laugh. the world is funny...i promise you that. this whole viewpoint thing is not only with the world...but also (and maybe more interestingly) with people. someone can be in love with someone while someone else can hardly be around them. i can view a person as strong, while someone else views them as weak. its all what we create the person to be in our mind. are you putting someone on a pedestal? or not giving someone the benefit of the doubt? and how about you...how are you viewing yourself in your mind? do you know you are as beautiful as you are? do you know that you have more to offer life then you know? do you know that you deserve all your desires? do you know that others look up to you? that you make people happy? and you show love in unique and wonder ways? i HOPE that you do. when it comes down to it. we can view the world and others any way you want. but please view yourself as strong. complete. good. and loving. when you do everything else you experience will be brighter. more wonderful. and you will see that love and peace and laughter and adventure are all around....just wanting for you to come enjoy them.
