If we let life pass us by each day and not live it to the fullest, what do we have to say for ourselves? I was stumbling one day (that's where most of my blog topics come from) and I found this image. I found the quote, "All that we are is the result of all that we have thought" very intriguing. I've always been interested in Buddha and his spiritual thoughts and encounters. To think about life as something that we build ourselves is to believe that we all have total control of the lives that we live. I believe that this is essential in living an entirely happy life. I believe in living life to the fullest each and every day. The idea of Buddhism is to become a sentient being and to transcend into another way of life. I've thought about practicing Buddhism but have never had the devotion to practice the everyday rituals and uphold the guidelines. I have also thought about trying to meditate each and every day and maybe taking the time to explore my creative side whether it be by writing poetry and writing these blogs. I think that when I finally go to college, I'll be able to have that alone time once in a while to do these things.
Back to the idea of "thoughts"... Now more than ever, we as teenagers and young adults need to begin having more pure thoughts. We need to learn to value what we have and to experience true happiness not only with others but with ourselves. What are the steps in becoming truly happy with ourselves? Perhaps meditation and reflection can lead to happiness. I believe that to be happy with yourself, you need to be comfortable with yourself and the person that you've become. I haven't quite reached that point yet and I still rely on others to keep me sane and happy. However, just writing this blog helps me discover my true being. I can only hope that when I'm ready, I will know who I truly am and I will be truly happy with myself.
