Two goals

I really enjoyed this semester and doing all of our assignments around the topic of peace. To tell you the truth, I never really gave much thought to the topic. I guess I could commit to smile at strangers like Prof. Gilden used for an example but I know that I'm way to shy for that. I used to volunteer at the SAMM shelter in San Antonio. It was a soup kitchen where we fed homeless people. I actually enjoyed it so I guess that could be my first goal. My first goal is to get back in to volunteering. My long term goal is to just try and become a better all around person. I would like to be able to help with some of the organizations that we learned about this year.

Inner Peace

In my opinion, inner peace is something that is hard to obtain. At least, I feel like it is for me. It seems no matter how hard I try to be happy, I am unable to. I may be happy now and then but I don't feel like I can stay happy for an extended period of time. I always feel like I can be doing bigger and better things than I currently am. I feel like I'm not the best I can be and this causes me not to be able to find inner peace. Many would say be happy with what you have and who you are and you'd be at peace with yourself, but that ain't my style. Why settle for mediocrity? Too many people settle for mediocrity and then aren't happy later.
