Where Do I Belong?

Why am I here on this planet living life? That is a question that we as people get in our everyday lives. This question might strike people and get them to think why I am here? What’s here in this life that's good enough for me? What am I doing with my life and where am I going? As a living and breathing person I got asked this question myself. It just kind of hit me by surprised and I just stopped to think to myself about if I really do belong here? What good am I to everyone in my life?

Now that I am thinking of what good I am to people and what do I mean to them? I think back to all the times I been there for someone in need of help or just someone who needs a helping hand to lend them. I may have done well in my life but I have also done badly. I see myself as a very outgoing, strong, independent, caring, loving, smart, beautiful girl. I have many gifts that I learned how to use over the years. It was not easy at first, every ten steps I took I fell nine steps back but I was always one step ahead of the game. All you need is one step to help you in life it’s always better than none.

When they say you have done well in life what do they mean? That direct term may mean a lot of things to people. It may affect people in many different ways. When someone has used those direct words with me they make me feel good about myself. They let me know that I did something right, or I may of helped someone along the way. One of my friends has told me I make an impact on their life. I try my very best to do well, to help the needy, or just be there for someone who may have no one. It is those people who need someone the most, the ones who may need a little push in life or just someone who can have that friend to talk to. When I was told I made an impact on her life I wondered to myself "what did I do?" I just did what I thought was the right thing to do for someone. Be the friend that they need, be that one that they can relate to in life. If everyone just had one person who was there for them and not someone who is making them feels like they don't belong. Then maybe this world would be a little bit easier to live in.

Someone I look at as a type of role model who I look up to in life is Mother Teresa. She was a very intelligent woman. She may not have made a difference in every one's life but she sure made a big difference in my life. Like they say you may not be able to change everyone or affect every one's life but being able to just help that one person you can make a big difference.
