Why Not What

Oh college, the first month of Junior year is reaching it's end...and I am stressed. Yup. I guess I could list all the things I have to prepare for and accomplish by, but I'm going to spare myself of the misery. I feel like my day is filled with me fast-walking to every single next destination. I rarely verbally say to anyone, I'm stressed, but I'm just going to write it again: I'm frustrated as heck that I don't have time to just relax and read a damn book for my enjoyment. However, this will pass and situations will fall into a routine soon enough. I will not be let down!

But just to reflect on some things, or more specifically, life things. My friend Carlos, showed me this really great video, a talk by Simon Sinek called, "How Great Leaders Inspire Action." After watching it, I couldn't help but feel a little happy that my mentality on a lot of things were on the right track (as in accordance with his idea). Basically, why you do something is much more significant than what you are doing. Why do we wake up early in the morning? Why do I push myself to the limits of my ability? It's not what I'm doing...anyone can do what great people do. We all have the potential to be a good leader, but what makes people want to join your cause is why you do what you do. I go out of my way to do things I'm passionate about. That is part of the reason why I will never admit that stress has gotten the best of me...because I like to hand-pick everything I dedicate my time to. And if you personally choose a priority, you should do it with a happy heart right?

Ah but still, I can't wait until I have time on my hands so I can just sit there (basking in the sunlight) drinking green tea and think. My friend also let me borrow Sinek's book, Start With Why. I'm excited to read it! But for now...back to studying for my accounting exam tomorrow.

Also, I finished my next photo shoot for collegefashion today! The article in still in the making...but guess what? My model is a guy so stay tuned :)
