What is your biggest fear?

My biggest fear is to become an innerchangeable, cog in the machine of life. I fear that I will be so innerchangeable, that my individuality will be reduced to nothing. Although I have been afraid recently that I am becoming less of an idealist and more of a realist, this one thing has not changed. I want to be able to do something, that few others can do. No, I don't want to be that weird kid who creeps people out. I want to be able to change peoples lives in a way that others cannot. I want to help people reach their life goals, acheive success, and appreciate life everyday.

Recently, it has become more apparent to me just how important and fragile our time here is. I have experienced a few people dying recently, these deaths were of the worst variety, suddenly and too young. I feel for the families of these promising lives cut short. My heart aches for those that loved them, and my mind recongnizes the need to live everyday with purpose.

I have a task for you bloggers, pick a day, any day, preferably a sunny day because the task will be easier, and here is your mission. I challenge you to go an entire day without complaining or saying anyting negative. In college, my roommate, friend, and I tried this and we actually were quite successful. Here are a few tips to make this a more successful task for you. Firstly, don't just wake up out of bed, jump up, and immediately think of something positive to thing about. I hear about this self-help book once where the author claimed that if you wake up everyday and just start laughing, then you're day will go accordingly. Throughout your day smile at strangers, sing along to happy music in your car, and let all the seemingly terrible things in your life fall by the wayside. You will surprise yourself how satisfied you feel at the end of the day once you accomplish this task.

I hope everyone has a beautiful week because you never know when the best day of your life will be!
