Tired

Hey Guys,


Today I am tired, physically exhausted. It is the end of the week, there is still a ton to do. Dinners, Lunches, Training Sessions, Papers, Projects and more and more work. Last night we were playing a game called slaughter. Let me explain the idea of this game. It was to get a small ball to a cone. It was that simple. Except guess what, there were anywhere between 5 - 10 guys running at each other, or 5-17 girls. Now the size of this square was 8 feet by 8 feet, yes that was the size of a square. I have the 'privilege' of refereeing the games. It completely sucked, not because it was hard but because I could barely see anything in the mud pit and no matter what call I made people were going to be pissed off. What also sucked was in my court there were just a few injuries but nothing as bad as it seemed to go on, on other courts. Near the end of the game the second final game a girl got thrown down and smash her head on the ground. We quickly stopped the game, turns out it was actually serious so we completely shut down the games after that because of SO many injuries. Well that is not the reason I am tired, but the reason is because we ended up staying around the field till about midnight because a girl was getting treated for a pretty nasty concussion. It was just a tough evening all around because it was an extremely long day and then just staying up watching people get hurt is taxing. Thats a little bit of a rant sorry.


I am also tired of just school right now, this is completely normal. I am just tired of doing classes everyday, tired of doing home, tired of listening to teachers pretending they know what there talking about and tired of writing about made up problems. Something I am wanting to do quickly is get out in the 'real world' I want to make a difference and get some cash in my pocket. But I think that comes at the end of the semester where you just want to be done. Then you get to work for 4 months realize how easy school life is and want to be back. This week made me realize how much I miss first year and how much I am a little bit older now. At the beginning of fort week I was so pumped to see all the dorms going at it, running around being nuts and I wanted to be apart of it. Well by the end of the week I was done with having people so full of energy and just wanted to relax. Not that is bad but I am definitely not the same person I was in my first year I am TIRED of the constant trying to always do something fun and active. I am getting old and boring. Well I wouldn't say that but the things that I use to find so much fun are a little bit different.


That is all I am just tired right now and I am hoping you guys are surviving as well. Maybe take some time off and breath... What I am going to do is get some tea, hang out and relax with friends and just have a good time. Try to recover from the week!

How to accomplish your goals

Hey Guys,

Something I have talked about a TON on this blog has been goals. The reason I am talked about it a lot in this blog is because I believe goals can serious help your life. I have written about my goals in these blogs, Goals and Goals 2. Those are my own goals and why I have made them. What I am going to blog about is basically this, quickly how to make goals, why to make goals and how to accomplish them. I believe those are the three big things when we start talking about goals. 

Here is how I make goals, this has been built into me through my mentor. He has taught my alot and especially taught my alot about goals here we go quickly how to make a goal.

1. Find you values and morals

2. Vision, what you want and dont want

3. Mission, can it be done?

4. Purpose, why your making this goal.

This is how to make a goal quickly I will write later one how to make a solid goal a little bit more but that is the very basic.

5. Make a Goal

At this point you have figured out why you have made a goal and make a goal. Why do we make goals though. The reason we make goals is to keep us sane. Straight up if you do not even have minimal goals in your life you will go insane. Let me explain this, with having goals we have somewhat of a direction. If you have no direction at all in your life you would go insane. Now goals can be as simple as getting to class, driving to school or graduating those are all goals. Some are big some are small but we make goals to get through the day.

Now lastly how do you accomplish your goals well it is REALLY REALLY simple. Here are the very very basic steps:

6. Figure out your knowledge and skills

7. Daily Activities

8. Habits

There it is, it is that simple as my mentor showed me it is a quick 8 step process and your life will be so much simpler. Well let's break them down a little bit. How we accomplish goals first is by figuring out what you are knowledgeable about and what your skills are. If I make a goal to become a musician that sings well I need to understand that I do not have skill in singing therefore I need to gain that skill. Next thing to accomplish your goals is fixing your daily activities so that they match up with what you are trying to accomplish. If I want to get in shape I need to go to the gym each day to make sure to achieve that goal. Lastly is habits, make it a HABIT of accomplishing goals, big or small. If you listed out every one of your goals each day and crossed off each goal as the day went on you would feel like a million dollars. Think quickly the last time you made a to do list and realized you could cross something off, good feel eh? Same thing with writing down every goal it gives you more energy to accomplish the next one.

Accomplishing goals is a great thing and something we all need to do to make it through the day! On a personal note I use to suck at this and I still em not the best but I am getting better. Hopefully I will be able to get this perfected one day!

Notice

Hey Guys,

So first off sorry I have not been posting these last few days is I am just recovering from being sick for about 6 days and my pre-written blogs had run out. Sadly I am also a student which means I cannot be a full time writer, singer or dancer but that is life right? So hopefully no one has thought I was giving up I just needed to recover in my health.

So lets just right back into it! If you have noticed a trend lately it has been talking about being confident and secure in who you are. This one is some what different but still in the same family. This is a topic that I have had to deal with most of my life which is this idea of being notice. So a little bit about me that might shock people is that I was quiet and reserved in everything I did up until about grade 9, then I became loud. Since then I have been outspoken, loud and usually quiet noticeable but not always in a good way. What I mean not in a good way is by being noticed by the loud statements I would make, by being obnoxious all the time and doing stupid things. 

How do I get noticed?

Be boldness but not loud, stick to who you are.

This is the simple question I asked myself and guess what it was another thing that had a semi-complex answer. Ill break down the statement I made, be bold but not loud. Being bold often times get used wrongly. Being bold means standing out it doesn't mean though being loud. Some of the boldest people I know are quiet. What should be the boldest thing about your life should be your actions. That is how you get noticed. Yes talk, yes it doesnt hinder to talk to people but let your actions speak way louder then your words EVER could. That is something I wish I could change was how I gotten to be know at my high school and university. I would have liked my 'positive' actions to be the thing that got me noticed. It seemed in my first year I was so caught up in talking up myself and being an idiot that I got that reputation. 

I guess that is my life lesson, let your actions get you noticed. The people that are often noticed the most are lead by their actions. You can look anytime in history, some of the greatest speakers may be noticed for a bit but not remember. It was the men of action that are noticed and remembered. Take a second to view your own life about the people you admire and notice the most on a regular basis. Are they the people that are loud at always get the attention? or are they the people who on a consistent basis positively impact friendships and their community?


The other quick thing I have to say before getting some sleep is this, stick to who you are. One thing I suffer with is who I am changes a little bit when I get in groups. I am usually good at sticking to who I am as a person when it is one on one. But when I get in groups I get a little uncomfortable. This is something that takes a while to develop and something I am working on. So maybe me talking about this can help you work on it now so you dont have to do it later! Try to be the same person in a group as you are one on one. That is the biggest way to get noticed is consistency in character!


I am tired though and time to sleep!
