Ordinary is extraordinary

So, once again it's been a while since I last posted anything. But things have been crazy at PC ... exams, homework, papers galore ... oh the fun! Thankfully things have gone into a bit of a lull in terms of work, but I know it will pick up eventually. But another thing was keeping me from posting. I felt like I didn't have anything to write about. It isn't that I don't ever do anything interesting or fun, it's just that I couldn't think of anything worth posting. Everything I could think of was fairly normal and predictable. But then, it just hit me. It doesn't matter that my life seems ordinary to me, because even if it is, it's my life and that makes it special. My life is the one God has had planned for me since before I was born, and I'm the only one who can live my life the way God intended. I think this is something we forget all to easily. Living in a world full of glorified superstars whose lives seem to be anything but ordinary, people forget that ordinary can be good. In fact, in many cases, ordinary is better. When I wake up in the morning, I look at myself in the mirror and sometimes think to myself, "Man. I'm nothing special. I'm not pretty or anything, but man! I wish I was." This way of thinking is brought about by today's image obsessed media. Too many people, including myself, are often caught up in how they look, what they wear, and whether they're cool enough. I'm not saying everyone should walk around looking like a slob because they no longer care how they look. But I am saying that less attention should be placed on how we look, because in the end, it doesn't really matter. What it truly comes down to is who we are on the inside. So let's bring the focus back to the real person. It's not what we wear or how we look that determines who we are, it's what's on the inside, how we treat others, how we treat ourselves, what we think, what we do, that's the stuff that we're made of. And each and every person was created by God to be the unique, beautiful person that only they can be. In today's world where ordinary is synonymous with boring and uncool, we need to work tirelessly to show people that you don't have to dress as crazy as Lady GaGa or look as beautiful as Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie to be extraordinary. To be extraordinary you just have to be yourself, whoever that is. Just look at the word, extra-ordinary ... God doesn't want you to be someone you aren't, that's not what He created you for. He created you to be the extraordinary ordinary person you are. So be nothing more and nothing less than your very self, I can guarantee you'll be happy you did. <3
