live, laugh and love LEV3L style

I need to stop dwelling on the little things that go wrong and letting them ruin my whole day. Reading my past posts for this goal kind of makes me sound like a giant grump, and actually I guess that’s what I’m becoming.

I need to get out of the house more and see friends, I need to motivate myself to do the projects I’ve been wanting to do. I think I especially need to have a little sit down with myself and figure out what’s going on and how I can make myself a little happier.

i always forget about this goal…i do not actively seek to improve my life by giving as much as i can, which is silly because i know i will receive what i put out. but, lately i have just been stuck in a cycle of feeling sorry for myself, doing poorly in class (well, not that poorly but i know i can do better), and feeling sorry for myself again…

time to snap out of it!

Today was a wonderful day, well crappy at the beginning because I had my least favourite (and most draining) class at 9 BUT at 6 I was supposed to meet my friend Erin at Dundas Square, which I was really excited for because she’s going back to Windsong (FTC has a leadership training facility thing there…that’s where I was for the first week of August doing facilitator training, BEAUTIFUL place) and I haven’t seen her for a while. Anyway, I had been emailing her for a couple of weeks and she emailed me last night and told me to go…I had no idea what for.

But, it was for free hugs! I spent about an hour and a half I guess giving hugs to passersby in Dundas Square in memory of Joe who I have never personally met but he has inspired so many people I have been inspired by. It was so much fun just spreading the love around and getting laughed and smiled at. Really a perfect LEV3L way to spend my evening.

considering how moody i can get sometimes. Today I did really badly on a math evaluation and felt really crappy about it, and I sulked for a little bit but I realized what I was doing and told myself to snap out of it. So I did, and I had a fantastic day, went to the gym, made tempura and minced chicken with bamboo shoots and water chestnuts (on lettuce, so yummy) with gaelen and watched miss potter. and i got some math homework done, but now it is time for bed because i can’t get the numbers straight in my brain anymore.

“LEV3L (Level 3) is a way of life. It is the courage to dream, the passion to believe and the intensity to act. It is the energy that allows us, as ethical global citizens, to make the ordinary extraordinary—to change our lives, the lives of others and the world around us. It resides in each one of us. It redefines limits. It is unstoppable.”

1.  It begins with me
2. It takes a child to raise a village
3. There is no box
4. Take a second look…again
5. Ask questions and question answers
6. 1 + 1 = 3
7. Make the ordinary extraordinary
8. Nothing is impossible
9. Act now
