There comes a time in everyone's life where we have to take a pill that's hard to swallow. In fact, some people never seem to accept it, they just pretend like it doesn't exist. The pill I'm referring to is the realization that the world does not revolve around you. I can understand why it's so easy to be self centered because I use to be (and still am, depending on who you ask) a little bit of a spoiled brat who thought everything revolved around her. It wasn't until I graduated high school and moved to Los Angeles that I found out I was just one tiny little fraction in one big ass equation. Being 19 and on my own in a city where I didn't really know anyone was rough, and to make it I had to stop being selfish and remove my pride and arrogance from the equation. When you are struggling to make it, you have no choice but to be broken and humble. I couldn't live the comfortable life I use to live in Atlanta, and that's what made me see that I was just one person in a world with a population of 6.8 billion people. That was my wake up call. I then realized that it's not all about me and that sometimes being uncomfortable, especially if it's going to benefit someone else, is not such a bad thing. I use to think that the world would end if something didn't go my way, but now I accept the motto "everything is not for you". She isn't me, I am her, and in God's eyes my life isn't anymore worth anymore than the person sitting next to me because in a blink of an eye it could all be over. So I want to encourage everyone who reads this blog to try to think of new ways to become less selfish. In return you will reap what you sew; will your harvest be bountiful or lacking this season?
