There is without a doubt a feeling of anxiety and fear as I think of the upcoming research project. I feel confident in my abilities to complete the task. The recent reading has sparked many ideas within myself; pertaining to myself and the way that I live my very life. I ask myself, "How are my everyday actions positively propelling myself in the search for living in a way that I see as truth?" I am apart of this dog-eat-dog, competitive environment. Now, am I continuing to follow what I believe is to be right, or do allow myself to become another self-centered individual. The American Dream was devised as a way for a country to regain its stand. We have taken this "Dream" completely out of context to describe a lifestyle that we individually seek. There has to be a balance with all things. We see it naturally and so we should also strive to recreate that ourselves. Keep within one's own restrictions. Not because it is mandatory, but for the simple fact that it is for the betterment of mankind. There is a true way for everything.
