Why is it that we just sit here anticipating for the good to come in our lives?
It's like were all lined up waiting for our turn, our big break in life.  What if you don't even make it to the end of the line, and you've spent all this time waiting?  We try to make the most of this awkward moment in life... But what good does that do? Step out of line, run past all those sleepy souls and seek what you've been waiting for this whole time.
Leave this life happy and satisfied.

Why live if you're only helping yourself?


I have moments in my life where I grab on to this mentality that "I'm the only one that can make myself happy." These smug thoughts usually occur after I have personally accomplished something great, or when other people have disappointed me.

It is true that we can rely on ourselves for almost anything, but then what's the point of life? 

We are made to love and be loved by others, not to just love ourselves.  It's almost dangerous to love ourselves too much; that leads to selfishness.  There is no reason we should leave this world alone, because I am a firm believer that there is someone for everyone in the huge world of ours. 

An AWESOME example of this is celebrities, they are extremely successful, but very independent. Independence will get you far in the world, but it can also cause you to be alone, and no one wants that.

The reason I felt compelled to write this is because I can find myself very independent and self- entertaining, but what good am I making in the world? What good am I doing for myself?  I can spend the whole day satisfying myself but I fall asleep unloved and alone.  It scares me that I could enter the end of my life like this.

So I want to caution the "independent" to not become too proud of that characteristic.
