As I sit here trying to think about what I can blog about, I find myself beginning to panic because I know I haven't treated this class the way that I should. I look at the topics such as psychology and try to think, what the hell do I talk about? I sit here and I begin to show my fear, fear for this blog, fear for this class, fear for my GPA. I worry that it is to late and that I can do nothing other then accept defeat. It's amazing how strong of an emotion fear is, it can completely break you down. It can rip away your confidence and leave you questioning yourself to the extreme. That is until you look within yourself, look within yourself and find a moment of clarity. In this moment you realize that you are in control and that fear is only in your head. You realize that life is what you make it and that you control the outcome no matter how far along you may be. I realize that I've been letting my fear of harsh judgement get in my way of accomplishing what I need to accomplish. I realize that I was caught inside of my own ill mind and that only I can release myself and that only I can accept the challenge that has been placed by Joanne to think at an intellectual level of understanding and to go outside of my comfort zone to try and grow as an individual. It is up to me to create my own moment of clarity. George Washington Carver once said that "Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom" and only I can choose to let my education be fulfilled within my own mind. Psychology is the science of the mind and the processes within. After I evaluated this blog and what I was going to talk about, after I accepted that I control where I go from here, after I found my moment of clarity. I realized that I just talked about the psychology within my own mind.
Use that fear to inspire some work and you'll be amazed at what you'll accomplish for this class and yourself. The beauty of this class is that you don't have to be an expert in anything other than living in the world and paying attention to things (I'd also recommend reading the articles and thinking about them . . . ).
