I think the reason why this list was so powerful to me is because it is so well-rounded. It covers things from simple home tasks to life at the office to life experiences. The list helped me realize that although I feel like it has been an eternity, my life is still in the early chapters. I still have multiple opportunities to grow and face (and hopefully overcome) more obstacles that life throws at me.
The two that stand out the most to me are #28 and #35.
Let's start with #35 first. By now I hope y'all realize my obsession with Spider-Man, so this one should make sense. However, I've gone through this one first hand in both college and high school and for the most part overcame them. I honestly think that we are dealt these struggles on purpose so we can become stronger and learn from these trials. The only sad part is sometimes we are not strong enough at first to defeat these threats, so we fail. But if we stand back up, dust ourselves off, learn from our struggles, and try again we will be successful at whatever we try to accomplish.
Now #28. I feel this one is my life story. For those of you that know me you'll know that I always stop whatever I'm doing to help someone with something or do a favor. Some of you might even say this is one of my flaws as a person, but I have to respectfully disagree with you. I feel that if you always do good in a world that is filled with hate, it'll be contagious and others will catch on. Is it hard for me to put others first all the time and not be selfish when I want to be? You bet, and when I am selfish it makes me feel really guilty (thus why I hardly do it). Some nights, I'm so bothered by the pain I see and feel that it keeps me up at night, but I know if I make a difference by doing that one good thing then there still is a chance for more good in the world.
Well that's all I got today; hopefully I can get some sleep and feel better this weekend. Thanks for reading and sorry about all the Spidey gifs (no, I'm not sorry).
