The Beauty of Life
Some days are full of smiles and laughter and just having a good old time. Then there are those days that everything seems to just go wrong. Despite what life throws at us, sometimes we fail to remember the good things in life. The little things that touch our hearts and make us appreciate life. Such as getting a phone call from your sister and just talking away about the past and how things used to be. Reminiscing and remembering. And also how about the little sticky notes that your parents or boyfriend leave you? Or even watching the sun set. We are so overwhelmed by the "neccessities" in life that we forget to remember what life truly is. Happiness. Family. Love. All the little things that make the biggest difference. We are all gulity of falling into the loophole of the everyday routine that things "need" to be done. Telling ourselves that we "have" to do something only leads us to think that if we don't do it, there will be a repercussion. So next time, instead of saying, "I have to this" or "I have to that", replace have to with want to. Because when you want to do something, who says there is a consequence for doing what you want to? The way we think greatly effects our mood. By changing one simple word, you can make yourself much happier and less stressed. Just remember the next time you are overwhelmed, stressed, or feel you are at your wits end, remember the beauty in life. Remember that you just need to do what makes you happy and what keeps you at peace with yourself.

Functions
To have the ability to think and to create complex, thorough thoughts is a beautiful yet scary thing. Our thoughts are created by us, therefore expressing who we are. It separates us as individuals and sets us apart from the rest of the billions of people on this planet. What makes our thoughts so unique is that even if two people or two million people are thinking the same thought, it is thought in a different sense. For example, think of a shirt. Now what color is that shirt? Texture? Design? Buttons? Pattern or solid? What ever shirt your brain produced, do you think that someone out there thought of the exact same shirt? Most likely no. We are such unique characters that we don't even know it. And we have our thoughts to thank for it, yet how often do we? How often do we actually think about our own thoughts? We probably don't. The functionality that creates our thoughts that effect our moods and personalities go unnoticed everyday and it is such a shame. We think about things that make us happy and sad and sometimes angry. If only we could control the thoughts created would we be able to fully be able to control every aspect of our lives. Unfortunately we were not created or did we evolve in that fashion. If we were able to control our selfish, childish, lustful, demanding thoughts, we wouldn't be considered a human. I say that we would be robots. A machine that controls every single function including the thoughts that are created. Yes, we control our bodies and what we say so on and so forth. But we do not contril what we think or how we think. That is something done entirely on its own. For a time we can say to think so and so thoughts. After a few minutes or an hour we go back to doing what we have to do and forget what we should be thinking. Where our thoughtsand ideas come from is a mystery. All the chemicals and science that "explain" it can and will never truly give us an answer.
