Today we had Aric Bostick come to our campus to speak. He was incredible! Definately the motivation that I have been needing. He talked about how when we get cut, scars form, and the skin that is the scar is tougher than our normal skin. Paralling this to when bad things happen they make us stronger. He pointed out the need to make specific goals for yourself, because "you can't hit a target you can't see." Aric talked about "enthusiasm" and how the "iasm" stands for "I am sold on myself." You need to know that you are enough, and to not beat yourself up. YOu can run if you are kicking yourself. How you need to be the star in your life. He talked about how the mind blinds us to what we tell it to. Let go and be free. We cannot hold on to animostities. We have to decide to improve the relationships we have or let them go. How happy or sad you are is all in your perspective. He even said fake it til you make it. So I am supposed to set my goals. Maybe even make a book with pictures cut out from magazines of what I want in my life. I think that I should do that this weekend. I think that it would be good for me to have a positive book. Before Aric's presentation the filicitator's, Lindsay, Aric, and I all went to the Roadhouse to eat. He is truly an incredible individual to have met. Thank God for always bringing me just what I need when I need it.
