Stars of Destiny

Most people are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path; no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path.
-- Herman Hesse-Siddartha

I have only really known one other star. Sean, keep to the guide and path within you. You have the ability to shine the light onto others and show them that they too can be a star.

I met another person like me today. Someone driven by that rare inner strength. Ashley also wants to be a teacher for the good of the children. Her aim is true and her values strong. May you never falter and become a leaf.

The secret I wish to convey is this. Most people dont feel like they are happy with what they do with their jobs. I see this all the time. I see it spreading. I remember during an early mentor session most of the people who were coming to college were coming so that they could get a good job and make lots of money. This is the destruction of our people. We create our futures based solely on acquiring wealth without giving a thought as to whether the route we take will fulfill us.

Those of you out there who have yet to find yourself in a position where you need to make this choice, dont worry. There will be a time when you do. And here is the answer. Discover what moves you. Discover within yourselves what you are passionate about. For me it isnt just teaching. For me it is our youths. They are our future. I want to help educate the futures of tomorrow, but mostly I want to be that teacher that is there for the students. That one teacher that gives his students hope and a sense of some level of serenity when they walk into that classroom.

What drives your core? What do you get charged up about? Find out what moves your soul and you will find that strength, that inner guide and your path will become apparent to you.

To all the girls out there

Ive watched a lot of late night comedy central lately and been rather upset with the ridiculous amount of girls gone wild ads. So here is one little secret of life just for you girls out there.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES TO BE APPRECIATED BY SOCIETY. I know that girls go through a stage where they feel that taking off their clothes is fun and exciting and it gets all the guys to look at them. Women of the world, you need to stop letting your self esteem, your self confidence, and your identity be determined by your social surroundings. Respect yourself! Be yourselves without letting the world shape you.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE SEXY TO BE LOVED!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES FOR ATTENTION!
SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE YOU WITH YOUR CLOTHES ON FIRST!
STOP LETTING YOURSELVES BE SUBJECT TO THE "SEXY" FACTOR!
YES YOU CAN AND DO DESERVE LOVE FROM SOMEONE WHO LOVES AND RESPECTS YOU!
YES YOU WILL FIND THEM SOMEDAY!
STOP GETTING DRUNK AND NAKED!
YES, GUYS LIKE NAKED GIRLS, BUT ONLY REAL MEN WILL LOVE AND RESPECT YOU ENOUGH TO TELL YOU TO CALM THE FUCK DOWN!

SO CALM THE FUCK DOWN ALREADY!

Stop letting yourselves be the victims of social sway.
