Ok, first my head realy needs to get back to earth, cause its been up in the clouds since before Jason Mraz said " look up". While I greatly appreciate the demonstration that anything is possible and that it is great to dream. I must now remind myself that there is a time for dreaming and a time for responsibility. Sadly as a mother of 4 there is no shortage of responsibility. I think since becoming a mother at 15, meeting and being recognized by Jason was the highlight of my inner teen. I feel this to be a bit sad as I am 26... I have never been the star struck type, I have always thought it a bit silly that people will be so into a person they didn't even know. Well, now I am one of those people and I realy never thought I would be, but it is an exciting thing, to be so facinated with a person you'll not likely get to know for real. A person that seems to speak to your spirit, a person that through thier music, you feel knows exactly what you think or feel, because its been immortalized in song and verse. The desire to sit and talk with this person that creates music that so powerfuly resonates with you personaly that its conective power is on a cellular level.
However, I tend more toward practical so as to not get disapointed. My solution to this new found sensation of wanting to know personaly a person that I hold in such a high regard, but likely will not get the joy of having in my company on a regular basis, is this. Be the person I admire for others. Not literaly, but seriusly, I want to be a demonstration of love for others, I want to effectively change the world one step at a time, I want others to learn from me, I want to never stop learning from others. I want to be the person that brings out the best in others around me, not for me, but for them. I want to welcome people to be themselves around me all of them, not just the "acceptable" parts. I want to truly feel free, which means I must stop judging myself... and... as a horoscope on a floridian beach once told me, I want to never sweat the small stuff, and I want to not sweat the big stuff either. So what person(s) do you admire? How are you being like them? and what inspires you to do so?
For me I admire many, Jesus for one... read the gospels, he was an awesome person, it been proven that he was realy on this Earth and the miracles and healing have been documented by many(not to mention the gospel message and all). My husband... most times this man gets little credit if any, at work, at home ( I am shamed to admit it) he realy does not get the praise he deserves. We have been married 10 years now and just the fact that he married me at 16 and basicaly adopted my oldest daughter when he could have partied or done whatever he wanted, that alone is super comendable, but he is also a super person and I dont give him the credit he deserves, I don't say it and I don't think it enough. My sister is one of my favorite people ever, she is awesome in every sense and I look for reasons to bridge the gap between us regularly(she in florida and I in indiana). which brings me to my last person... Jason Mraz... I admire him for the things he has opened my eyes to... deeper concern for the Earth, an awareness of the good in humanity and the confirmation that truly anything can happen, for any reason, and for his ability to express things that I only realize I understand after I have heard it (that makes sense to me)What inspires me to be like them is, the outcome... to be like them....
So, I challenge any and all to (the 1or 2 that may read this) to take more steps to become the qualitys you admire most about others, so that you might be those admirable qualitys to others.
