Everyone's probably already sick of hearing this all day, but hey, it is surely a day that will down in history - yes, Barack Obama is now officially the 44th (lol hopefully not that unlucky :P) President of the USA, and first African-American one at that. Sure he may not be our president (i dont THINK he can speak fluent chink....) but this is proof that people, the foundations of our society, can change should we want it. For now we are one step closer to truly being accepting all people for who we are and what really matters. We now have even more proof that a vision and hard work can lead to even the impossible happening. Speaking of change, this historic day has inspired some personal change too....
Most may live to avoid flux, preferring to succumb to a world where stability is everything, where the fear of the unknown is neither pursued nor contemplated. And ok, fair enough, I may be guilty of occasionally choosing constancy over fluctuation in life, but who isn't? Of course, I'm not gonna change everything as certain aspects of myself define me as who I am. But I do realize that I need to strengthen certain weaknesses and sharpen my skills and mind. I acknowledge the fact that it will not be easy. Duh. As easy as acing spesh....(when you're just an average person NOT some super genious who can do complicated complex no's....u noe who i'm talking about! lol -.-")
For although man makes the habit, the habit soon after makes the man.
Thus in order to break this comforting shell where things are always as they were, I need to find a strategy, formulate some sort of plan. Somehow. ^^" That's technically the next step.... I've said, and only said, this for far too long. But this time, this time, something is stirring, deep and resounding. Time never stands still. Attitudes have been altered and thoughts provoked. Something is yearning. And so the action starts today. Not tomorrow. Today. This moment. Right here. Right now.
I believe life should be measured in *moments* not *seconds.* And so this is one of many of my moments to come, a turning point that could be either major or insignificant in my life.
Hard as it may be to break a habit, to accept change and be flung into a world, environment or situation unknown, I will nevertheless try my hardest.
I will be a better person. The best I can be. I will be someone of worth. I will prove to myself, to those who doubted, to those who seek inspiration as I did, do and will, that it is possible.
~Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.~
