What makes you UNCOMFORTABLE?

I didn't have time to write a blog this past weekend, so here I go. Todays post is about what makes YOU uncomfortable? Now I'm not talking about random things that make you scared, or feel weird throughout the day such as being in en elevator with someone who might smell really bad. I am talking about what makes you UNCOMFORTABLE IN YOUR LIFE. I have been thinking about this lately. We all have fears and concerns for our futures, specially since were not in high school anymore, and before we know it were all going to be adults. Okay I am done talking about that nonsense. I am going to share a story with you, and I am going to talk to you about what makes me uncomfortable, and so I hope you'll be able to relate to it and get something from this post even if it is something very small.

On Tuesday I had a group meeting where I work with people with disabilities. I can honestly for the past two years I have learned so much about myself and others from going to this. Seeing how other people are so much less privileged than some people breaks my heart. Here is my story, So when I was at this club meeting on Tuesday the one man I would say in his late 30's was going to make a tye dye shirt and he was so excited. Me on the other hand didn't have a white shirt so I was going to. He was so excited though?..why? He came up to me and told me he liked my hoodie and I said that he looked really nice today, he even had a suit on. I told him I need to get a suit someday actually! We talked for about a minute, about how he is doing. He was soo HAPPY. Im not even exaggerating. Sometimes you need to feel UNCOMFORTABLE. That sense of feeling where you feel frozen and don't know what to say. That moment where you realize how much you can mean to someone else or how much you can help someone else.

I hate to say it, but at times I take for granted the things I have in my life..maybe my family, friends, being in college, people who really do care about me. I think we all do it, for real. The shoes were able to buy, the places we can afford to eat, all the exciting things we can go to with our cars..just imagine if all these things were flipped upside down. I don't know if we all could change the way we live our lives just like the click of a switch. I'm not saying all this to make you feel bad, or to preach. I am asking you what makes you feel UNCOMFORTABLE. I have a bunch of things that make me feel uncomfortable.

1.) Makes me uncomfortable to see people have such a rough life
2.) Makes me uncomfortable to know that I don't know what I want to do with my life
3.) Makes me feel uncomfortable when people leave my life whether it be family, friends, or loved ones
4.) Makes me feel uncomfortable to know I am going to be a senior next year
5.) Makes me feel uncomfortable to know that I can't help a lot of the people that have it worse than me.

This is just a few...my point is not to make you feel sad about your life or change you as a person. I am just asking what makes you feel uncomforable? THINK ABOUT IT. If you are still reading, im going to get at what I have been trying to say, so here we go.

I am a 21 year old man that is a junior in college. A lot for me is undetermined, a lot of choices to be made in the next year. A lot of us are in college or in the work force and have just as many descions to be made. My point is this, whether it is big or small we all have a family. We have a support system even if it is one person or just YOURSELF. We are raised to believe we can do anything we put our mind to, and that we can become what ever we want. I feel like in society we have lost that at times. So today ask yourself what makes you feel UNCOMFORTABLE??

Fight for what you believe in. NEVER give up. Life is going to be rocky. Being uncomfortable can be a good thing. It drives me, whether its on the basketball court, in the study lounge, or at work. You know why???? GUESS WHY?????....because there is someone else out there that would love to have the possibilites we have. It is sad but true. You feel uncomfortable? Good! You still reading? Perfect! Can you make a difference? YES!

Being uncomfortable is not a bad thing, it can make you swim farther or sink. I know I am uncomfortable with certain things in my life, BUT I will never let that stop me from dreaming and believing that I can accomplish something someday.

So keep believing in yourself, friends, and family. It doesn't matter what someone else is doing or what they have. When you know what makes you uncomfortable that is the first step in realizing what you need to do. No plan is clear or known. Time will take care of that.

I 'll say it again, what makes you feel uncomfortable??

Have a great weekend everyone

Peace
