I have realized

The importance of surrounding myself with people who work hard.
People who don't take the path of least resistance.
People who, when handed a challenge, will raise you one step higher...or five.
People who are active, involved.

Many times I feel busy with school work.
And then I realize...I've got it WAY EASY.
I miss volunteering.
I miss being surrounded by people who work with everything they have.

God does not hand us anything; God makes us work for it.
So if you are sitting back saying "God will plan your life for you, it will all work out", I disagree.
I think God will sit back and say "I gave you the tools you need, why are you sitting back and waiting for ME to do something?"

You will get somewhere in life if you make something of yourself.
If you don't take the easiest route.
If you set your hands hard to work. If you take yourself out of the equation every once in a while when you feel like whining about how hard you're already working.

Because someone else needs your help.
So quit whining, Kindra, and go put your hands to work in Tanzania.
Build that well, treat those people, and remember what you were born to do.
And don't let anyone tell you different.
