Sometimes

Life is bigger than our selfish hearts...
We get so caught up thinking about ourselves, and how everything has to benefit our wants and needs. Sometimes you have to take a step back and realize that life doesn't revolve around you. Yeah I know we've all heard that line from a teacher or our parents, but it's so true. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your time and lend a helping hand to your peers who may be in a successful position that God prepared them to be in. Not everyone can have the platform at once, yet everyone wants a piece of the spotlight. I find us humans to be very selfish in lots of ways; it's unfortunate, but on the bright side, some of us have learned to examine our hearts and lives more thoroughly. I've always had a set of goals to accomplish, I dream bigger than anyone I know, literally. But there's a time for those dreams to become reality, and while we may think that our lives are on pause; their not, because we can always extend an open hand to help the ones we love around us with their dreams, while God is building ours. This applies to every human being, or it once has at some point in their life; we just fail to realize it sometimes because we're so caught up in ourselves. Everyone has dreams, everyone wants to be somebody, but are your dreams unselfish? Do your dreams benefit the lives of those around you spiritually? Sure we can dream about fortune, but if you receive fortune, will you give it back to the world? Dreams/goals should be way bigger than money, they should be about changing the world in ways that other people can't. I'm personally guilty of being selfish numerous times throughout the course of my life; I just finally grew wise and asked God to make me as humble as possible for those around me. I have no doubt in my mind about my dreams coming true now that my vision is clear, but for now I'll be helping the ones around me who need my support until my time comes. Sometimes, you must play the background.
