Sometimes things don't work out. You think that you are legit or something special, but when you look outside of yourself, you start to realize that you're the failure. You realize you're the Screech of your friends, work, and  church. What is a Screech? Screech is the fictional character on "Saved by the Bell". He is in the original, college, and new series. He is  the person that people like, but he is also the person that has not had   their aha moment. It's not funny. It's sad when you don't move forward. It hurts especially when you see that people move on and you don't. They say it's your fault and that you should do what you want to do with your life, but sometimes in life you feel like there is all this pressure to be the best and when you don't move forward you start to feel that you are the biggest FAILURE on God's earth. Failing is awful especially when you work so hard to get noticed and yet the only thing you get in return is nothing except cut hours from work and the thought that you could be in this RUT forever. They say you are the master of your ship, but when you don't have your moments of how good you really are, then you start to think there is no hope.

You could tell people your frustrations, but I feel sometimes they don't care. They only care about their own problems. I guess you could say that sometimes it's not a good idea to tell people how you feel.

In the end, none of  this stuff I write  about really matters. It does not matter that I have not had my life changing moments. It does not matter if I don't make money or the company I work for cuts my hours or tells me to smell you later. All that matters is helping people.  I am no expert in that . I do watch and observe people all the time when I am at church, work, or outside my bubble. I realize that no matter how legit people may act, they are still no better than the dust of the earth. They are not perfect. They need our help too. Helping is hard because people don't like help. They don't want people to know that they are mortal and that the walls of greatness they show are really not that great.

When you realize this, that is when things start to change. That is when you start to move forward and learn that you can do anything you want to do. It may seem difficult, but if you actually do something about it then good things  come your way. It is hard to get up and move forward especially when you see no hope. We only see what's  currently in front of us. Sometimes that is bad because if you don't take a look around you, above you,  or behind you, then you won't know your true potential.....

NEXT

The best advice I ever got was a guy that told me a four letter word. No it's not a swear, it's the word next. Why is next so great? You learn that with life there are other opportunities that lie ahead. Next is the greatest mindset to have. In the working world, you  can do all that you can and sometimes things don't work out. You don't become what you want to be or the company you have spent time with is not what you thought it would be. So sometimes you have just have to look and think and say next. Next maybe scary because you don't know what lies ahead. It's the fear of the unknown. You wonder if it is greener on the other side. If you never taking chances in work, life, or other things, then you will never know your true potential.

Next also works in dating. I have learned that dating is just a date and nothing more. I used to get offended if a girl I really liked did not like me back. I have learned that is stupid because you can't force someone to like you. You just have to get up and dust yourself  off and say next. Sometimes it's the other way around. A girl likes you, but you don't feel that way with them. They get all offended that you don't want to be with them and they say they won't mind if you tell them the truth. I have learned in life it's better to not say what you want to say  because that creates drama and I'm not into drama. Yes, you are going to have to hurt people's feelings. It's part of the dating game. I think people have to realize that most of the times, it does not work out. If you truly believe in marriage then you know that there is only one person out there and if you take dating seriously then it's more important that you meet lots of girls and see how you're with them. I always wonder why people or I get offended because when you think of the long term, you realize it's stupid to get mad at. Once you find that person you want to spend the rest of your life with, then you realize that all the things in the past are nothing bad. They were experiences that helped you prepare for the one you are suppose to be with.

Next works in life, especially when things don't work out. Life is a test and sometimes that can be a pest. You have to say next and focus on the good. When things don't go your way, I feel that you should focus on what you can do for others. That is all that matters in life. I don't care if I ever get married. I actually do care if I get married, but if it does not work out  then it does not matter because in the end all the matters is who I helped out in this life. People all around need our help. It can be a simple hi or just shoveling someone's walk. Sometimes they may take advantage of you, but that's okay because if you believe that you're here to make life better then you realize it's okay. That's what life is about. We are here to raise people up and help them realize their true potential. You can say you are not what you want to be and that is why you can't help people, but that mind process is false because we are already chosen and we can help anyone out.  One day things do work out. I know they do because if we think we are failing , we are not failing because we are actually trying. We are just being tested and getting experiences that makes us better human beings than we were the day before.
