A Better Us

Imagine this, we all live in a world where everything is peaceful. People are truly happy and living their best lives in whatever way fits them, everyone is healthy, we all look after each other, and there is little to no anger, hate, or jealousy towards one another. Crime is at an all time low, families and communities are stable, and there is almost no abuse of any kind, whether it’s with substances or towards other people and even living creatures.

Sounds impossible doesn’t it? As if it could only be achieved in a utopian society set in a futuristic science fiction novel or movie….

It’s not, and it can most certainly be achieved in the world we live in today. Granted, it may take a little while and there will be challenges along the way, but we could definitely get there…

But it starts with us…

When I say us, I’m talking about all of us, you, me… the rich and the poor… the cops and the robbers… the saints and sinners. I’m talking about all of us…

Before I get into it, I would just like to say that this is not meant to be a religious sermon or a cult type ignition or whatever you want to call it… this is just a young man that has done a good bit of research and feels like he sees the world for how it actually is. The goal here is not to start any drama or provoke any misunderstandings, but to hopefully plant a seed of self love and working towards the better in your mind.

Anyways, let’s continue…

We, as the human race, need to start doing better for ouselves and our future and I’m specifically talking to YOU. So that leads us here… what exactly is better? Better could be anything, a better house, a better car, a better TV… maybe even a bettertrash can to hold whatever you throw away so it doesn’t get all over the floor or whatever. This isn’t the case in this situation, the better I’m talking about is a better you, a better life… one filled with compassion, patience, and understanding. One filled with love and laughter and joy. One where we all come together as a species and lift each other up and push each other to become the best version of themselves that they could ever possibly be!!!! One where we push past all the doubt and negativity and break the generational trauma and curses so our kids and future families can do the same. One where we awaken and realize what is truly going on in the world and pushing ourselves to be a better person so we can each do own own individual part to make the world a better place for the next person!!!! You may be asking “Well why would I ever want to do any of this?”….

Let me tell you why…

So this is where the seed starts, I’m not going to bore you with the next New York Times best seller, but I will do my best to make this short and sweet and to the point.

Anyways, back to it…

Our choices determine our quality of life. If you eat trash food and have a trashy diet, you will most likely grow to be over weight and have many health problems when you get older. If you spend every penny you earn on pointless things when you are young without doing engaging in some type of investing, you will most likely end up working until you fall over dead. If you have any issues or trauma from what has happened in the past and all you do is suppress it with drugs, alcohol, and/or external pleasures instead of seeking the necessary help or diving into yourself and healing your inner child, you will most likely end up having some sort of dependency or addiction to these said external pleasures.

All of theses have to potential to ruin your life and most likely, you will project your problems onto other people which could in turn lower their quality of life. See, when things like these happen, and you have too many stressors in your life, it has the potential to turn you into a bitter, hateful, and envious person. I’m not saying everyone is like this or it’s this drastic, but in some or at least half, it comes pretty close.

The reason why I’m saying this is because as long as we let ourselves continue down this path, we will only get weaker as a society. But we have the options and the ability and the necessary resources to change this. If we eat a little bit healthier and find or make the time to do at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day we could live healthier lives. If instead of blowing all our money while we’re young and we put it away or put it towards some kind of investment, whether it be a business, stocks, or real estate, we could set ourselves up for the future and we won’t have to work until we’re 65 or 70 and we could actually enjoy living. And lastly, if we would all stop chasing external pleasures, whether it be through drugs, alcohol, sex, or anything else, in the persuit of feeling good just to fill the hole in our soul, and we actually went to thearapy and healed ourselves and worked through our issues, maybe then we could stop projecting all of it onto other people and actually develop deeper, more meaningful connections and relationships.

All of this can lead you towards living a happier, more meaningful life and when this happens you tend to spread your joy and love forwards other people and that could potentially make their life better. By doing this we could also stop passing our hurt and issues down to our children and in turn, it can take the load off of them and they could live a happier and more fulfilled life. Once again, I’m not saying that this is everyone, it’s more a less just a seed for you to maybe take the initiative and start improving your life if you haven’t already done so. My faith in humanity is pretty up there but at the rate things are going in the world, it’s slipping away day by day. We need to start doing bette for ourselves so that way we can put in motion a better future for our kids and our maybe even our family, friends, and neighbors.

I plan on doing more of these and hopefully whoever sees these can use it it and it ends up improving their live but I’m going to end it on a what could possibly be an eye opener and a little piece from me… I’m currently on my own little journey, I come from a damaged background and I’m always putting in the work to make sure there is no more hurt inside of me (I don’t really know what to call it except hurt lol) so that way I don’t pass it down to my kids and mess them up. I’m currently on month 5 of going to the gym 4-6 times a week and eating healthier so I can live a healthy life. I repeatedly dive into myself to figure myself out so I can live a more fulfilling life. And lastly, I am currently in the process of paying off my debt and working out a plan so I can invest more and start my own business so that way I can give my family a good life and have something to pass down to my children when I go. And another reason for the business is so that I can hopefully provide a place that can offer amazing jobs that will actually be able to ease some of the stress of the people that work there and also, that way it will allow me to have more money that I can use to help those in need. Nobody told me to do any of this, I decided to do this on my own with a little bit of guidance from my best friend because he is also on his own journey in the prospect of living a fulfilled life, one that I can look back on my deathbed and be like “Damn!… I did all of that?” (Lol).

It’s that time of the night so I’m going to go ahead and put myself to sleep. Before I go I will leave you with one more thing…

The choice is 100% in you’re hands… Which ones will you make?

I really hopes this helped in some degree, eventually there will be more to come as I go along and learn more. Have a good day/ night folks!
