To Save a Life

It's been a long time since I blogged... but I've got a newfound inspiration to for some unknown reason. I've been sitting in front of a blank screen every day for the past week just trying to figure out what to write. Life's simple and kinda boring.
Today I went to the dentist, wasn't exactly feeling on top of the world, went there with no makeup on and in sweats and crocs. Since my dentist is right next to Lowe's Food, I stopped by redbox. A few weeks ago I saw the trailer for a movie called "To Save a Life" It wasn't a big name movie, and it was made for the small screen, but it was better made than the average Lifetime movie. Nothing reallly amazing, nothing really bad, nothing that stood out. The plot was predictable and the characters were a bit cliche, but the message was amazing. As simple as the movie was, it geared inspriation in me.
I've also been reading up on a little website called "gives me hope", it's full of inspiring stories that make me want to be a better person, and make me want to just love on others.
I spent the past few years living in pure ambition, everything about me and my future and everything I could do. Of course that doesn't mean I'm going to slack off and I still definately want to win at everything, but how many people have I passed that I could've helped? How many lives could I have changed? Could I have traded an ounce of glory just to say something nice? I've been a bitter and cold person, locking in my own emotions while locking the emotions of others out. I was cold hearted and insensitive and just wanted things accomplished. Everything was tough love, getting things going so that there would be success in the end, always about the big picture. Well, what about the small details? I had the details of everything planned, but there were bigger details I missed.
I realized, I've got to take a minute to think before I react, and do somethign each day I'm blessed with life to bless someone else's life.
