There is a time to give up and there is a time to reflect

There is a time in people's lives that they have no idea what to do, so they turn for people for help. But what happens when the people you turn to aren't there to help you get out of the rut you are in or whatever is going on with you. Most people would just turn to another person for help and they might receive help. For some people no one is there to help, so they end up killing themselves. They look on everything as a bad dream for most of their down time and it is not a very good look at life or at anything for that matter. The people don't realize is that it is the people around them that are making their life worse weither it is a friend or a friend of a friend. They just need to get away from that person at any cost for their life to become better. But what happens when that friend you need to distance your self from is one of your best friends and you don't know how to tell them that you are leaving because they aren't making things in your life better but they are making them worse. Well there are two ways to tell them how you feel and everything. One way is to straight up tell the person what they don't know that has been going on in your life that has made you change and that you might be leaving your friend behind because you need to get happy before you can talk to them again, or the other way is just to disappear for a bit and I don't mean kill yourself or anything like that, I mean you need to distance yourself from them to realize that you can be happy with out anyone around you. You just have to spend time looking at yourself and finding all the good in life and sometimes that works. Now I know that most people won't read this but the people that do, should know I am speaking from experience. I am trying to make myself happy while being best friends with someone, yes it is very difficult but in the long run it might be for the best and you and your friend might become better friends because of it. So just know if you ever think about ending your life because of some stupid reason, don't, you don't know how precisous your life truly is until you see what the actions you do to other people. Know that you are loved and that no one should end their life.

Meaning of ones life

Some people try to figure out why they are put on this earth and what are they suppose to do with their life. Most people don't realize until their life is half way over what they are suppose to be doing with their lives. For me it wasn't till this semester that I realized I was put on this earth. For me I see the good in everyone and yes that is a curse but it also shows me what I can do to change the person to help them in their future. If you believe in God or you don't that is totally fine, but God was the one that showed me who I am and why I am on this planet. If you do believe in God I would tell you that you need to pray to see what He wants you to do with your life. But if you don't believe in God then I would tell you to search within your close friends and family for them to show you what you are good in. In my case, it was a combnination of both; God showed me through my friends and family what I am good at and how others can benefit with me being on this Earth. If you see that you have no idea what you are doing with your life and you want to find out what you should do with your life or just wanting answers, look to God or your closest friends and family.

Finding groups of friends

Some people try to figure out what group they are suppose to belong in. And as being one of those people I know how it feels to be an outsider. For me starting in a new setting, such as college, made me a shy person that did not want to step out of my comfort zone. It wasn't until my second semester that I found my group of friends. Which my group of friends and close people are Navigators. Navigators is a Christian club on campus and my lab partner for physics 151 pretty much got me interested in this club even though I didn't consider it a club. We would hang out with people in the club after our lab class and it wasn't til recently that I was brought into the light and shown that this group of friends was meant for me. For me I had to find people that were closely related to what I liked and how they acted and what they did in their free time and what got them interested in the major they are in right now. If anyone would like to join Navigators, you can contact me to find out when we meet and praise together in worship. If you would like the Navigators website please email me or contact me through the blog page.

Helping others

Little do you know that when someone helps another person, it makes the person that was helped want to help someone else. The fact of the matter is that once you help one person it gives you a kind of happy feeling and you want to do it even more. Thats why some people like joining groups that help others no matter what it is. For instance, I am a boy scout and I like to help people even though there might be something wrong with them or some kind of obstacle to overcome. There are things that we did not want to do but we did it anyway and we benefited from it still. No matter what the task was we always ended up helping out others and ourselves at the same time. When you help someone you feel how great to help someone and then that person will see how it feels to be helped and pay it forward. The only thing left is to go out and help others even though they might not show that they need help. It is a good way to live your life. Just remember once you help someone, they will help someone else and the chain keeps on going.
This is just something some should see.

When you don't know what to do

There are a few things that you can do when you don't know what to do. When you don't know what to do you must relax and just calm down. One just needs to break away from society and just view the world as an outsider. They need to look how their life is compared to how other people have it. Most people will think that they are worst off than everyone else, but some people actually see that others have it worse than they do. If you are one of the lucky few that get to see that others have it worse than you do then you know that your life isn't as bad as you might think it is. One just needs to find the part of them that sees that their life is so important and hold on to how important it is. Once the person sees that their life isn't that bad, they start becoming happier and happier with their life and help other people that truly need help. And maybe just maybe, the person that was helped by the person that saw a reason for their life will pass on their help towards other people.
Thats what you need to do when you don't know what to do. Just remember relax, calm down, and take a look at your life and see how well off it is.

Reason to Understand Life

Hello, my name is Jeff Derouso; I am currently at Cal State Long Beach studying Mechanical Engineering. Way back when I would always get in trouble, I would try to figure out what I did wrong or what is the meaning for the reason behind the action. But it wasn't until about a year ago that those things made me realize that everything happens for a reason. I would just never figure out the reason why the things that happen, happen for a reason, until 4 months ago when I finally understood life. My life has had many ups and downs and I know no one knows everything but just my incite from my life could help others. Besides the fact that these blogs are apart of an assignment, I blog to benefit others because it's better to help someone and have them pass on their help to someone that needs it. So for all who are out there reading this, if you need help understanding life just follow my blogs each week and who knows they might help you. I just ask that if they do help you in some way that you pass it on, and what I mean is to help others with things you know and you have experienced, it's a good way to live your life by helping others that need it.
