Every day passes by us whether we want it to or not. Each day will bring times of happiness or sadness. Times of joy and blessings with times of frustration and stress. We never know what the day will bring. And we don’t know if there will be a tomorrow. It is so easy to get wound up in past events, that we lose out on the blessings of today. Every day is a chance for difference. A chance for more and for better. To seize the day. The shadow of the past I fight my past every day. Constantly …
Sometimes you just need to let it out. Just open up and let the flood gates fly. All of the feels and all of the emotions, are never good to hold inside for too long. It is not good for your mental health and not good for your physical health. There will be times you need to express yourself. For me, that time was yesterday. A time when all of my frustration came to a boiling point and I needed to let it go. Let it Out When I started this job, I was having fun. Loving each day of …
In the United States, we are going to be celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. Many of us reflect on what we are grateful for in our lives. With so many around the world that have no food, clothing, a bed or a roof over their head, we are blessed in what we do have. But for me, it is so much more than that. I am grateful for the positive things I have. For me, it is all of the other things too, that I am grateful for. This past year I have been focusing on identifying what makes me …
This is something that I know too many people can relate to. I truly feel that society has taught us to hold our emotions in. You face so much in your daily life, how many times do you let out your anger or excitement? Who has been told to not show you were upset or crying so you wouldn’t be seen as weak? As children we were taught to hide our emotions, so we were not appearing to be weak or better than others. All that did was create a ticking time bomb inside each one of us. And all …
Up or down, left or right. Are you happy or sad? Is it dark or bright? There are 24 hours in one day. That is 24 hours to do everything you can to find happiness. But no true happiness can be found unless you have balance in your life. A way to manage the negativity in your life to enjoy the positive. It won’t take much for life to tip the scales in any one direction. One Sided I lost count of how many times I felt undeserving. Like parties and groups that have raffles, I never win. Rewards and …
This may be a short post, but I have to get this out. I have lived my life for the past 48 years a certain way. As I child I was so desperate to have a friend that I would try to be like the other kids just to fit in. I was so desperate to have a boy like me that I would act the way I thought they wanted. Even now as an adult I still change…no, I leave who I am to the side to please others. And I am tired of it. It is time I …
We go through life hearing we should treat others as how we want to be treated. Were you taught to be respectful of others? So why is it so hard to treat yourself this way? How is it that we cannot respect ourselves the way we do our family and friends? Are you treating yourself the way you deserve? Do you know what you want and need in life? Lost Someone reminded me that my needs and wants are just as important as my family’s. But my problem is realizing what my needs and wants are. Because I have lived …
The Christmas holiday has come and gone now in the United States. And as I found myself struggling to be in the spirit of the season, I did have a moment to reflect. The year is coming to an end next week. And so much has happened in my life, that I took a moment to myself and celebrated surviving. Reflection This year I found myself finally able to change my career direction. Although it was not the original direction I was looking at, but it became the direction that I was best suited for. A place that I found …
I have been playing a game online with many people from all over the world. Recently we had a fight on the game that had many people breaking trust and fighting within their groups. Emotions ran high for everyone. Some people felt the stress was too much and left the game. I was almost one of them. But I found in trying to build back from this fight, that there is a time in which you fight and a time in which you stop and move on. When you hold onto your drive for more, and when you fold up …
I had an interesting conversation with my mom this week. I have been working on improving myself and loving myself these past 3 years. Learning to love who I am and enjoy being me. Since I also found the new job, it has really helped. Pushing me to believe in myself and trust my instincts. But I still have down days. Bad days that want me to hide from all that know me. And in the conversation with my mom, she couldn’t understand why I had them. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Ever ask someone to explain how they felt at …
