Ya know how sometimes you come across someone who is truly selfless
and inspiring, and you think to yourself, "I could be like that" or "I
would do the same thing in that situation".... Quit lying to yourself,
you aren't like that and you couldn't do what they do in that
situation. I know, it's tough to face the truth but if you can't even
be honest with yourself what the hell makes you think you could be as
selfless as they are? Stupid.
And how many times have you said to yourself or someone else "he (or
she) is the most amazing person I've ever met!" Seriously, how many
times? I can count the number of times I have on one hand... probably
even 2 fingers. And when you realize that the person you are looking
at, the very person sitting across the table from you, could very well
be the most amazing person you've ever met, it changes you. You become
a slightly better version of yourself, you change and are now one step
closer to being the best that you can be. No dumbass, I'm not talking
about joining the Army. Sheesh, keep up will ya! I'm talking about
humility and self actualization. I know it is a tough concept but just
try and stick with me for one more second. You really do change. It's
like going to a shelter and feeding the homeless, or eating your very
first Klondike Bar... It's just one of those experiences that every
person should have before they die. I'm not talking about watching the
starving people in Africa, or seeing someone on the news that got hit
by a car. I'm talking about real, absolute experiences that make you
step back and re-analyze your life.
We are all constantly changing. Personalities are not stagnate. They
morph and adapt to how our surroundings are today, right now. Even as
you read this your own personality may be changing. All we can hope
for is that the changes that happen are good changes, positive
attributes becoming more awesome and negative ones making the turn.
What is even more amazing is when that change hits you like you just
walked into a house that smells like cookies! And that is exactly how
it was for me.... I picked my jaw up off the floor and I knew
instantly that something in me had just changed, I felt different...
amazing... I was in awe. It was the second most amazing feeling ever!
I am still wrapping my mind around the whole experience!
