Dominion Over Your Situation

The Struggle for Life

I went to Monterrey this past weekend for my mother's birthday. I gotta say that Monterrey is Super Beautiful and there is nothing like it. I feel that it is so underrated and that it does not receive the credit it deserves.

One night as we were walking by the ocean in Monterrey Municipal Beach, I was walking with my family and all of a sudden we spot a shiny substance in the sand. We turn on our phone flashlights and before us is a sea lion. We said "Oh my gosh, that is so cool!" Then we realized that it was injured. It ha bite marks all over the back side of its body. A closer look, it's back flippers were shattered. The Sea lion was just moving itself through its front flippers. It was really sad to see the animal struggle just to move around. We knew it was going to die because the city was not going to get there until the next morning and its back fins were already shattered. It would be too late already. Also, it was so nice, it would not do anything if it was touched and had tears in its eyes. The sea lion looked like a puppy to me.

I started contemplating on the fact that every living creature has to struggle in order to survive. In the animal kingdom, it's an animal eats animal. Plankton are eaten by fish, fish are eaten by seals, seals are eaten by sharks and so on. However, with humans it is much different. In our own society today we have to work and give up of our time in order to survive. Nothing in this world is free because if something is given to an individual, it comes at the price of someone else's labor. We all want to be able to be rich and live in a mansion by the ocean side but that is not simply the case. I believe that if an individual works hard and creates something innovative like the desktop computer or a smartphone, you will get there. Everything is has to be earned. That is our struggle of life. 

Don't be that college student is who feels that you are entitled to everything, because you have to give this world a reason to care about you. We have dominion over our struggles.If you are struggling with finances, instead of buying candy or junk food, save it up and get yourself something nice. Or Get another job and negotiate your wage. If you are having family problems, you have dominion over your situation. Your very own words can speak life into someone, or speak death into someone. The seal did not get to live another day, but you can live to see another day today and get up off the ground, take off the dust of your feet and move on. Let's be adults now that we are college students. Your life is in your hands. Struggle so you can grow. Change your situation and you will see how much dominion you have over your situations. Have a good Monday!
