(according to dictionary.com)

Being under stress lately has actually molded me into a very intellectual person, at least what my mind thinks is intellectual. (Mom and dad, you may start laughing right now) I don’t consider myself the next Plato or Socrates, but I am in my own mind.

I feel selfish when I talk about or even think about the stress in my life. Why? Because, I wouldn’t even consider what I think about everyday as stress anymore. Such as? Future, school, family, friends. I now strive to not utter the word stress out of my mouth until I can prove to myself that it really is stress. I stress about what I am going to be when I finally grow up, when I am so PRIVLEDGED to even be thinking of college or a future job. People with cancer stress about when their last day to live will be, and I worry about what I am doing the next day. Teens in third world countries(even in America) don’t have the opportunity to attend college, and we are all focused on who got into the better school. Innocent children are born with AIDS in a hut, and I freak out when I have a cold in my two story brick house. We don’t stop and think about how amazing America is or how low our stress level is.

If you have never heard of Randy Pausch or, “The Last Lecture” then watch this now. In short, Randy was a professor that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, watch this, you won’t regret it.

Whoever is reading this, I dare you to just stop and think about what a difference you could make if you just stop focusing on what makes you mad or “stressed out.” Consider your stress, worries. Instead of waiting on the world to change or someone to change you, get up(or not) and do something nice for someone. It doesn’t have to include leaving your house, send someone an email and ask about whats going on in their life. Go downtown and work at a soup kitchen, and you will quickly realize that your worries are like flies compared to the stress that the homeless/poor have. Look around you, you’re probably sitting somewhere air conditioned and comfy& ON A COMPUTER.

It’s important to remember that even through all the ups and downs in your life, God is always there for you<3
