On Its Way

Another week has gone by and April 3rd is coming pretty soon.  I can honestly say that I am excited for this day to come.  I may be the only one that does it, but that's okay, at least I will be standing up for something I believe in.

I stand for what I believe in, even if I stand alone.  I have the strength to stand alone.  I am strong enough to say no to the way the world thinks you should do things.  I have the will power to say no to being hateful, negative, and awful.

"On April 3, 2012, I want everyone to write something that has to with Have a Heart on their wrist, hands, or even fingers.  It does not have to be something big or fancy.  Just the words, a heart, or something that will remind for that day to Have a Heart and Stop the Hate."

Send in pictures of the pictures!
I will put them up with your name under!
Show you support and make it known!
Change the world, one step, one action, one thought, one smile, and one person at a time.

Have a Heart -- Stop the Hate 

Friedrich Nietzsche

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

A negative mind creates a road to a negative place

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Negativity can only feed on negativity.

Samuel Smiles

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

Anne Frank

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do that, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.

Your reputation is worth more than any amount of money. The choices we make determine our reputation. Once lost it can take a long time to get it back. To have a positive life you need a positive reputation. Think before you do!

Time Doesn't Stop

Last week I wrote about a challenge that I want everyone to do.  It is a simple challenge, if you didn't read it, here it is again.

"In one month exactly, on April 3, 2012, I want everyone to write something that has to with Have a Heart on their wrist, hands, or even fingers.  It does not have to be something big or fancy.  Just the words, a heart, or something that will remind for that day to Have a Heart and Stop the Hate."

Time doesn't stop and before you know it the time is gone.  Take a hold for it as you get it.  Never let yourself live the same day twice.  Each day is a gift, not a given right.  Use your time and life in a good and positive way.

Have a Heart --  Stop the Hate

Charles Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.

It will make or break a company, a church, a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  

We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

And so it is with you - we are in charge of our Attitudes.

Jimmy Dean

I can't change the direction of the win, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

The only disability in life is a bad attitude.

George Washington

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bed company.

Greatness comes from the inside, so ask yourself, are you great because you think, act, dress, and conform to ideas to do not truly believe? Or are you great because you follow what you know to be right and know to be true.

Start of Something New

We have just gotten into the month of March and with March comes the, soon to come, weather of spring.

As spring is starting a new year, I would like to start something new with Have a Heart - Stop the Hate.

In one month exactly, on April 3, 2012, I want everyone to write something that has to with Have a Heart on their wrist, hands, or even fingers.  It does not have to be something big or fancy.  Just the words, a heart, or something that will remind for that day to Have a Heart and Stop the Hate.

Show your support for yourself and the others that may have taken this challenge upon themselves.  Show your support for those that need help in the world.  Show your support for those that are picked on, bullied, or feels lost.  Show you support and stand tall for what you believe in and what in this world.

Don't be afraid of what others think because you have chosen to do this challenge. 
There may be people out there that think you are stupid for taking on my challenge.
But I know you can do it.

And I, Chelsea Bastian, will always be here to help.

Being A Dancer

Being a dancer has many ups and downs, just like life. But through being a dancer, I am able to express myself everytime and anytime I want to. People can't tell me that I can't move one way because I am the one that is complete control of my body. No one can physically take over my body and make me do what they want me to.

Dance is a beautiful art form and even though it is used to express oneself most of the time, there are a ton of critics out there that want to tell you that you aren't good enough, aren't skinny enough, aren't flexible enough, or anything else. There is a definite.stereo type when you hear the word "dancer". But there are so many beautiful and amazing dancers that break the stereo types.

What I'm trying to say is, I have grown up with people telling me that I couldn't do it because dancing is never gonna get you anywhere in life. Being a dancer isn't a career that will get you anywhere in life. But I haven't given up on that dream, I haven't left it, I stand tall with my passion for dance.

Yes, there are going to be people in this world that is going to tell you no, but there are always gonna be people that will push you towards your dreams and wants.

Find them, because the kind of people that you choose to hang out with, is the kind of person you are going to be like.  Yes, you may make your own opinions and and actions and everything else like that, but the people and situation that surround you in fluences you in many different ways that you never really realize.

Be a person that brings people up instead of pushing people down.

As you bring other people up you also bring yourself up. Its a secret win-win situation that no one really thinks about.

Now, I don't know how people actually read this constantly, or how many people care. But next time, I want to give you a challenge. This is a challenge that I have been working on since October 21, 2011 and I still haven't been able to do it perfectly. Its a hard challenge, but its definitely worth the effort.

If you decide to take on this challenge I would hope for you to tell me how it goes and the things you go through as you try the challenge
