Quotes

Hey guys, so I'm not really sure where I want this blog to go yet, but I'm just going to start writing. I found all of these awesome quotes from Cristina Yang, a character on the abc hit show Greys Anatomy. Side note: one of my favorite shows that I have watched with my mom since it started, and well is what inspired me to go into medicine and want to become a surgeon. (Yes I know its nothing like what they show on TV). But anyways here are the quotes that I found: ..... wait heres how this is gonna work, first I am going to quote the quote, then underneath it a little blurb about why I like it, and what it makes me thing about. (yeah I know, kinda cheesy especially from a fictional character, but HEY, these are good qoutes!) 

"There comes a point in life when it becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That's when the real work begins. To find hope when there seems to be absolutely none at all."

So I know I've been here. I know there have been points in my life where I have just given up. And trust me, it is SOOOOOO hard to overcome it once you have given up. Because finding hope, when all seems hopeless is nearly impossible. But here's the thing. I have something Cristina Yang doesn't. Jesus Christ. When all seems hopeless, when all seems lost, when I have reached my utmost breaking point and crashed as hard as I possible can against rock bottom, I don't have to find the hope. My hope is in Jesus Christ, and I know things will only get better! Psalm 30:5 says that weeping will come in the night, but joy comes in the morning! Interpret this as the weeping being your hopelessness. The time when you hit rock bottom. When things are dark and it seems like you will never see the light again. But as surely as the sun will rise, joy will come. Because yes, you have the night, but eventually the sun must rise. So as surely as you will have the hoplessness, joy will come again. As long as you place your hope in Jesus Christ, you will be able to overcome any hopelessness, and find the joy and hope in Him. 

"Being aware of your crap, and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things."

Soooo, time to get deeper. I know what my "crap" or my problems are but heres the thing... Sometimes I just don't care enough to overcome it. Furthermore, your crap is what makes you, you. Why change it and fix it to meet the worlds standards of what your crap should be. I personally like who I am, and will not fix what others think is crap, in order to fit this mold that society expects of me.

"If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and demand something more."

This quote reminds me of another one of my favorite quotes from the book "Perks of Being a Wallflower" which is 'We accept the love we think we deserve.' So soapbox time. You deserve the best. No matter who you are you deserve the best. You do not deserve to have to put up with crap, and you shouldn't settle for crap. If you continually find that crappy things are happening too, then stop letting it. Stop accepting things that are sub par or not good enough, and only accept the best. Demand the best. Fight for the best, and do not stop until you have it, because if you settle for the crap, then the crappy things will happen to you. 

"Pretty good is not enough, I wanna be great!"

So, I basically have said all I need to say about this in my post entitled "Coasting" so if you have not read that one yet, then stop right here, and go read that for this quote, then you can come back :p

"Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here and don't give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You're on your own. Be on your own."

I could write pages on this quote, SOooooo I will. Haha stay posted for what I have to say about this one :p

"How am I supposed to get through the holidays without liquor?!"

"If there's no food, I'm going home."

I just found these two to be funny, and considering the seriousness of previous quotes, I felt that some comic releif was necessary! 

"Oh screw beautiful, I'm brilliant! You wanna appease me, compliment my brain!"

This one made me laugh too... haha, For some reason it reminded me of myself. I mean I can be quite concieted sometimes and I do so in a way that makes it seem like I am joking, but if you really know me... well lets just say I love myself too much for it to be a joke :p Haha another reason why I really like this one is because I have jokingly made the comment to friends before "just let me drop out and get paid for my looks" but, SCREW BEAUTIFUL, IM BRILLIANT! haha Why settle for something anyone with good looks can do, when I have the intelligence to literally be or do anything. Why waste the God given brilliance that I have by swimming in a sea of apathy?
