Motives On Tap 34

You ever had that moment in time where you just stare at the ceiling or the sky for awhile and just let your thoughts wonder?

That happen to me on Sunday night.

It was pass my nighttime and I just couldn't sleep because my mind would just not turn off. Well, according to natural sciences, the human brain never turns off unless...your dead. And I was breathing at the time so I was still living. But anyway, I was just thinking about random thoughts and where I was at that current moment.

Looking back at my timeline. The good, the bad, the bizarre, the suffering, the rebuilding. Just looking back at events that molded me in this current state. Everyone has a moment like this from time. Yes, there are some moments when I look back that could have been differently with a different decision but you can't change it.

And I think that's one flaw in certain people: They let their past decide their future.

Like one of my psychology teachers told me: You had stress in your past, you're going to have stress in your present, and stress will be in your future. This is one of the most truthful statements that I've heard during my college career. We work so much on trying to have a stress-free life but in the end that kind of life doesn't exist.

In my view, there are lives with minimum stress and there are lives where stress has taken over. I prefer living my life and some days stress levels will rise up a little bit. But as long as I'm not letting it consume myself so much that I can't fully function to the best of abilities...then I'm ahead of the demons.

DO NOT LET STRESS TAKE YOUR LIFE!

I've seen hundreds of people take their lives just because they couldn't handle stress. Because they wanted to be someone other than themselves. You are You; don't let the public manipulate you into something that you aren't. Don't let stress manipulate you into saying that you are a loser because you don't have a fancy car, a mansion, or a 7 figure salary. Work on being a person that has fun while handling business while being you. That's how you live.

You will have stress; Everyone will. But if you let it get the best of you then you might as well wave the White Flag and surrender. Keep yourself happy and stop mopping about your past mistakes; you have a bright future ahead of you.


And today's On Tap is....

Give your stress wings and let it fly away.
