It's all in your head.

Good morning/afternoon/evening to all of you. Lately, or at least in the past week i've been thinking a lot about what i want to be, and how i want it to be. I've had the time to sit and think only about what i consider important, even vital. I started thinking that i had forgotten how to love, how to take care of myself, my family, and a few other people that live in my mind and soul.. or at least i had forgotten the right way to do it. Along with that i had lost all my creativeness, and then i thought about this note that my father gave me probably a year ago, which helped me a lot. If any of you feel this way, i hope this could help you reconsider who is worth your time, how you want to live life, and achieve all your goals, or as i said on my last post, at least think about it for 10 minutes.

There was a very rich man who lived in the city, and one day he decided to pick up his son after school and take him to a lower-class farmers town a couple of hours away from the city to show him how the less fortunate people lived, so he could appreciate all he had and to be thankful for having the opportunity other people could not have. they visited this house and met a family who didn't have much. they lived off what they could harvest and the kids in the family sold milk on the roadside after class to help their parents. At night they would share dinner and talk aboout their day. 
That same night, on their way back home the man asked his son what he thought about what he had seen, and he was surprised by the reaction the kid had on what he had seen. The kid told his father that they had expensive cars and clothes, and this people would walk appreciating nature and enjoying pure and clean air. They woke up in a hurry every morning by the sounds of their alarm and rush to the streets to keep up with the city life, while this people woke up to the sounds of nature and the dogs playing in the backyard. He told his dad how impressed he was of watching the whole family sitting on the same table, having dinner, and how united this people were, and automatically realized how much love and caring each of them had for each other.. this and many other things that we probably don't realize sometimes.. so then the kid looked at his dad and told him.. "Thank you for showing me how much we have and how poor we are".

I just got this as an example of what having real values is (at least mines).. and having that in mind to reconsider what's important and what want for myself. From that point work hard for what i want to achieve in life as a profesional and as a human being. Always be thankful for what you have and stop worrying about what others may have. Concentrate on your goals and achieve them. Be yourself averywhere you go, always remember your values and believe you can do anything you want to do, and be the person you want to be.

Have a nice day.
