Intensives!

Last weeks intensives where actually quite fun, well at least the one I chose was fun. I did the "Fit Chick" intensive along with my whole group of ementry friends... intresting huh? we went on hikes, swag, and did yoga, along with taking a bare esstenails work out class where we also went swimming! besides working out we also learned a bit about body image with the teenage girls, we had a group conversation about it along with watching a movie called "A Girls Life" this film we watched as diffrent girls faced struggles that girls today have to face.
my highlight for this class consisted of just being able to work out with my friends and to feel able to workout with everyone with out getting all embarssied and stuff, it was really fun and cool.
a low light however was that I got there really really late on the first day and It almost effected my abilty to be the intensive I wanted.
If i could choose to do a three day class on something I suposed I would do one on my digs topic, Photoshoped pictures in out media... I think it would be a cool one for younger girls to take because It would be cool if i could teach them that this idolized dream of perfection is unastanable.
my goals for my intisve were,
To be more healthy
To become more happy with my slef
To learn more about working out.
all together I felt I had completed all of these goals, and had a super awesome intenisve(:

believe in other, seeking meaning in your life, believe in my self...

Today I watched a short video on Viktor Frankl  and his thoughts, "believe in others" This thought happens to be contrary to my believe, of only beilving in youself.
In alot of ways I really enjoyed what Viktor had to say, he spoke about setting your goals higher so you can achieve greater things. I think this is a great way to think for alot of people, but me Im not sure, Im kind of agianst setting goals that you might fail to achieve. I hate to think about my furture career and life. It stresses me out and makes less time for things that are happening right now.
what gets me along with the fact that maybe I dont want to think ahead why cant we all just live in the now, and I feel that alot of what he said seems to be miss inturpeted about a career when I honeslty think that should be not be something people should be think his words are about, of course I agree that a person should persue in a career they love but shouldnt what he is talking about be more focused on life? I mean a job is one thing a person has in there life at out of it all, shouldnt we be using his words to full advantedge? To set goals of wanting to be happy, and find passions throughout life, find the in the good in the wolrd, no find the best, beilve in people and live a life with passion and sollitude, right?
He's thoughts are very equivalent to one of the five goals of the Open School "seek meaning in your life" this goal corresponds more with my thoughts of beliving more in your self and less in others. seek meaning in you life translates into a large number of catigories, it can be from finding a passion, to finding love, as easily as it can be explained; you seek out what gives your life meaning. and thats is somthing I evenutally want to take away from Open School, and life in genreal. I want to be able to find meaning to me life, I want to be able to dicover the one thing that gives me whole life meaning make every second of it enjoyable because I know it will be worth it, all in all this is the most important goal of our school.
