Finished:)

After reading and completing the book, “What Should I Do With My Life,” I can compare the book to several and many things in my life. Not only comparing them to my life but also to the people around me.  After reading about rick the mechanic, this chapter really becomes my favorite, because it took someone else to open his eyes about paying attention to his surroundings. Because it reminds me about how sometimes I take life for granted and not realize what I have in front of me.  So always take a step back and look at your life from a different perspective

Relationships and family.

When reading these chapters of PO’s book I found them to be very interesting.  I really didn’t find anything that remind me of myself or things that I have done.  Although comparing the section were PO talked about working beside his girlfriend, and I compare it by wanting that.  I want someone to have as my own, and know that they will be there for me.  Although I am young, I guess everyone wants something like that.  This has really been the only chapters that I didn’t find anything that I could compare to my life.

My life right now is very hectic, paying bills being a student and working a full time job.  I think that I will one day be able to look back and finally be able to compare my life to this seciton.

Changes in the scenery;

After reading and comparing Po’s section, “Changes of Scenery,” I have came to the conclusion that the people in this section was more slow going or laid back from everyone else in the previous sections.  In the previous sections most people was worried about money and making sure that they had a life of luxery.  But in this section they was only concereed about making the money they needed to get by with.  When comparing these two sections I found that they was all looking for what it is that they enjoy doing or what there good it. 

After comparing and contrasting my own life to this section I would have to admit that I am a lot like the people in the sections before this, I have to pay my own bills and also pay for college.  So im a full time student working a full time job trying to get by.  And im stuck trying to figure out what makes me happy and what I want to do with my life.  I think later down the road I will settle down, and finally figure out what I want to do.

Knowing The Simple Me

Asking myself the question how well do i know myself? I really dont know, im still trying to figure out what i want do do with my life, and what i want out of it.  Everyone around me knows that im highly motivated, and i try to motivate everyone around me. I wish i could bottle up my hyperness and my smile and give it to everyone.  I dont know were it comes from but i am very thankful for it.  Motiviation can change a plan of action, it can change a mood, a plan, relationships, jobs, pretty much anything! When it comes to being aware of my surrondings I see everything, and i remember everything.  When asking the simple quesiton "what should i do with my life" it becomes  not as simple as when you first asked it... you start thinking oh my what really am i going to do with my life. Then other questions start following that such as am i on the right track? Will this affect me?
When it comes to showing my true self, im always myself, crazy sporadic, and eager to learn.  Im working hard to make my dream happen...Graduating....getting a job....starting a family..and so on.  The quote i live my life by is our eyes are placed infront of us because its more important to look forward then to the past. :)

Change Junkie or Change Artist?

After finishing this section of the book, i realzied i really dont know myself, im a sporadic person, and im always asking myself questions.  My motivation being the person i am, just comes natural, im always in a peepy mood and im always ready to learn something or do something new.  When it comes to my surroudings im always noticing change, and trying to figure out new things. I am always myself to everyone i dont change for anyone.  I think if people know the true you and accept it, then they will always be happy for who you are.  Personally i love the way i am, and i wouldnt change a thing.  I love being happy, and hyper.  I have many dreams that i want to make happen, like finishing school, graduating, getting a great job, building a house, and starting a family.  I think that if i keep the positive attitude and always strive for my best then i will.  My favorite quote is God put two eyes infront of our forhead to remind us always look forward, and never look back.  Learn from your mistakes, and always strive for your best:)

Temptations vs Aspirations

After completing the second section of the book "What Should I Do With My Life," Po has shown us a few examples of people that in someway weighed their decisions out regarding what they should be doing. 
During my college carrer and i have came to the same point of having to weigh out certain decisions.  I come to ask myself questions like what am i doing with my life?  How should i apporach this? Do i really need this?  Questions like that really have helped me sort through different struggles that i have had cover my path. 
The main difference between the two sections is that first people felt like they had to "fit in" or feel that what they were doing was "right". While the people in the second section had some hurdles they over came as to if it was what they really wanted to do or not. Life throws things over your path, you just need to make your own path! Dont follow the path infront of you make your own footprints! :)

Blog 4:) Inner Ring.

In the chapter "The Ungrateful Soldier," Po recounts C.S. Lewis’s assertion that belonging to an Inner Ring is a powerful, wayward desire. Po asks Tim Bratcher who’s sitting at that table – who’s in his Inner Ring.  So I started asking myself the same question, I would include anyone who I love and that makes me happy.  So my inner ring or circle would be anything positive in my life.
During my life my dad has always been my toughest critic, he always said that I shouldn’t go to college, and should take up the family business.  He said I couldn’t do it.  This made me want to prove him wrong that much more. What he doesn’t realize is he’s my motivation, I know and I will prove him wrong.
Throughout these chapters, I really couldn’t relate them to other classes, but I do relate them to setting my mind to something and going after it.
These chapters in the book, made me ask myself questions, and also made me appreciate what I have. Because money can’t buy happiness, and life is all about what you make of it.
