I've sat and looked back at past conversations and wondered if I've changed and am I changing for the better? I remember back in elementary school I school I was a bully. Jr. High I seemed to only care about myself. High School I grew up a little and let some people into my life. I began to care about other peoples success and feelings more but still let only a few people into my life to see the real me. Almost all of those friends I let in are still here and are like family to me now. There is a very small portion that I've let go but I still look back and I'm thankful to them for teaching me more about myself and helped me grow in other ways. And I probably still think and care about you more than you would ever even know. I went on my mission and I learned how to truly love people. I didn't really care if I had fungus growing in my stomach, walking on a broken foot, eating terrible food daily, or not being able to see my amazing family for two years. It was the best time of my life because I served others and participated in miracles daily. I saw what true happiness was and was helping others see it as well. Now I've come back to college and I wonder where am I now? Am I a bully? Do I only care about myself? Am I getting better or am I getting worse? Michael Jordan said,
"My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength."
I think everyone needs to have that attitude. Take things that people say especially those who care about you and get better. No one is perfect, but everyone can do better. Tomorrow is a new day and I hope to turn some weaknesses into strengths.
