I think we go our whole lives trying to find our true identity, and who we really are. We learn from watching others like our parents and our friends. But it is up to us to be our own self, and not be who everyone else is telling us to be.

I don’t know what I would do with out the support of my friends and Family. There are always there for me giving me the advice and the push to go for my dreams never being able to stop short. But the trials and tribulations that we face alone allow us to face hurdles and cross them alone. Only allowing us to find out who we really are.

Surrounding myself with respectable and positive role models has been a huge influence on my life. From my friends I have learned how to be a good friend, from my parents how to be a respectable young woman, and from my sister how to deal with any and every situation, talking to her. It is of utmost importance for me to surround myself with well mannered people, so that I might depend upon getting only the best advice and recommendations.

I agree completely with your comment on surrounding yourself with strong and real people. Without my family being real with me I would not be as honest as I am. Being honest is important to me because when lying to someone I’m lying to myself. I can’t be around people who are rude or can’t open up. People who just fake smile when they dislike people is just wrong. Being honest can make you a better person and show the world you can be trusted. Good post Tamara!

I know you have enough comments but I gotta say i understood this completly while I was comparing for my bodybuilding contest my life became one big routine I stopped seeing my friends stop going out.My time rotated between work training,posing practice and making meals.I had 2hours of cooking to do every day plus one hour of training and a hour pose practice and work 5 hours plus school.I realized it was getting bad when I didn’t even know about one of my best friends sisters being hospitlized.I now live life and I hope you do to its nice to hear that other people have experinced being under these high pressures.

Comment on Is your glass half empty or half full? by jabowtell

Everyone views life different this is because our values are different. I really am impressed with the glass question. Do we think our Journey has almost come to end or do we have long way to go. Faith is what keeps us going through the rough times even if it isn’t faith in religion or if its faith in better days coming. This post makes me review on life and its all how we make it keep this kind of writings coming.

Everyone in life has the option at looking at the glass half full or half empty, but it is not an easy decision to choose one or the other, most people want to look at it as half full but our past experiences and worldview can force us to have a pessimistic view on life and that view is a hard one to break out of.

I have been under pressure as well. I was playing in my first provincial basketball game and we were down by two points against New Norway. I was put on the line to tie the game with two free throws. I missed both and we lost the game. Although I was really sad at the time I have learnt from it and have moved on.

Being “great” or “the best” at a sport or any high caliber activity does not occur overnight. To strive to success takes time, commitment, and passion which usually overrules socializing. Reaching that Olympic goal in soft ball obviously would take over socializing and at times questioning of why. I cannot tell you what I would have done in your situation but the decision made was hopefully the correct one. To reach the highest caliber in a sport needs individuals to live, love and breathe that one activity. I respect every individual that has reached this level and respect everything they accomplish.

That would be a tough decision. Your dream or your happiness? I’m not a sports player but happiness would be choice for me. Being happy depends on the decisions you personally make. Sure people make decisions that can make you unhappy but there is a choice of doing something to make yourself happier and be more confident with your decisions. The pressure of other people can make choices more difficult to make but if peer pressure or harsh convincing doesn’t affect your decision you’ll be happy.
