The Truth will Set You Free, but First it Will Pizzazz You Off
Approval and admiration is more sought over than the "truth." The truth hurts at times because think about it, often times being wrong or questioning our outlook on life feels unnatural. For some, it feels like death.

Fragile Contents
Wouldn't it figure? I specifically included (in bold letters) the word "FRAGILE" on my box of items from around the world. I carefully bubble-wrapped each individual, delicate possession with utmost precision and said a prayer with each piece of tape enclosure.

Positive Thinking
It is so important to be positive. Whatever you think in your mind will eventually leak out into your everyday life. If you always think negatively, how do you expect to get positive results? If want a positive outcome you must practice positive thinking. Whenever a negative thought tries to capture your mind, it is important to stop and overpower it with positive thoughts. If you start to doubt yourself and think that you can't accomplish your goal, or question whether you might fail, then you will need to drown out those thoughts. You should think that you can do anything you set your mind to, and know that you were created to accomplish greatness. If you fall, you can always dust yourself off and get back up again. These are the ways in which we should be thinking daily.

Being in Tune with People's Energy: The Mirror Effect
Vibrations and energy are real. Law of Vibration: Everything in the universe vibrates at different speeds, including you. What we don’t have in common is the frequency in our vibration. Some people vibrate on a higher plane and these people notice lower plane individuals when they come across them.

Rain, Moon, Talk
Last night, a sprinkling of autumn rain shook itself down from the clouds, and a not-quite-full moon the color of pearls rose in a velvet sky. My friend and I tucked ourselves just under the eves of her parents house, out of the wet and talked and cried and kissed cheeks and told stories and prayed.

World Around Me
Ever since I was in the 6th grade, I've had problems with people and the world. I got bullied by people and soon I found myself bullying kids in my school. In 6th grade, I started out as a good kid, and then I guess something clicked in my mind. I found myself running away from home; I really don't know why though. I had a good family and lots of people to help me in life. Kids didn't want to talk to me after that went down. I really didn't blame them for not wanting to talk to me. It was the summer after 6th grade going into my 7th-grade year. My family wanted to move to help my grandma out with her farm. Summer went well, I really thought I had changed over the summer. The first day at my new school was going well, I didn't talk to many kids that day. And no one talked to me for the whole day. It was getting to the end of the semester when I started doing drugs and getting into a lot of trouble. I was getting mad at my parents a lot and didn't feel like anyone loved me. People hated me at school and people knew how they could get to me and my feelings. I started cutting, almost daily, hurting myself. It wasn't going to help me at all and I knew that. My family found out and I was so mad. I met this guy, let us just call him John and no that's not his real name. John was 4 years older than me, I liked him and he liked me. We knew that we would never be together but when I told him I didn't want to be home, he took the time to pick me up and hang out with me. I really don't know why though. He was nice and sweet. Things got out of hand that night and I think we regretted all of it but he soon found our selves dating and no one liked that. Sooner or later we broke up. I went back to my old ways of drinking and smoking pot. I stopped because I knew if I didn't, I would be just like my dad. The summer after 7th grade I wanted to change myself so I did. I stopped smoking and talked to people about what I've done in my life and it helped me a lot. The 8th-grade year rolled around, I find my self-being liked by a lot of kids and lots of the teachers at my school. Leadership and 4-H came into my life and I've found something I could do with my life and not spend all my time drinking and wasting my life away. I'm happy with what I've done with my life and now I may have changed with future leaders and helping a lot more than I thought I could. This just shows that if you don't have a good life now you could change and become something that everyone likes and what you want to be. Thank You for reading this. Have a great day!

Altering Negativity Through Mindfulness
For several years, I spent my time providing crisis care for individuals struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. One thing that was evident in all of my clients was traumatic life experiences. For over a year, I worked with clients struggling to regain control over their lives after traumatic life experiences. Having lived through my share of trauma, I find that I have a deep level of empathy for individual struggling to stabilize, recover, and ultimately rediscover their best selves. I have been a part of helping others rebuild their resiliency and exerting their personal will over the lives they found themselves in. I have held the hands of individuals who wish to end their personal pain. I have sat with people who deal with their pain by using substances to deaden the pain, individuals who disassociate as a means of escape, as well as those who harm themselves to control the pain in their lives.

Take Some Time
As I walked with a fellow North American teammate, covered in concrete dust and sweat, it dawned on the two of us that we, as westerners, very rarely take the time to appreciate what is around us. To really look around and enjoy life. Our focus, is primarily on the next task at hand.
