Its tough when you see yourself one way and the perception by others may see things a unique way. We know our truth and our side, but they also have their truth. That is why I have taken the lens off for myself to the world. I am seeing it in unusual ways. I have had others talk down to, criticized, told I live my life wrong, by the same people who are then asking me for my advice. It seems like I must give off a treat me like dirt and get your reward type of person, but I am not. When I have stood up the others around have acted like they were the victims, and I am the enemy. This is why it is important to be kind to yourself and to want the best for yourself. You just simply cannot no matter how bad you feel, feel the need for validation by others. By pushing that burden from others to yourself, you are making yourself stronger and more self-sufficient. When you seek validation and people-pleasing you are relying on others to make you feel good. For me, that has always ended as a recipe for disaster. I want to warn people because nobody warned me about these dangers in life. I feel good when I am prepared, so I pass that on as advice and a warning. Push the things you expect others to do for you back to yourself and you will realize how strong you can be. Feel the confidence and feel good about providing for yourself and taking care of yourself. I can fear people at times, but I certainly feel I can understand them and their point of view. While, I could be asking myself why it took so long for me to figure out these things about life. I could also think how lucky I am to see things this way when before I saw things the wrong way. One of these is a negative point of view and one is a positive. I am going to take the positive view this time and feel-good tonight. Friday nights are always my favorite night of the week. You have the night and the entire weekend to look forward too. I used too be a much more pessimistic person, but I needed to understand that even though I felt that way it was not helping things get better. When I think positive things may not be getting better but my viewpoint and my mood dealing with my issues has improved. If I could, I would spend the rest of my life learning new things and experiencing different people. Seeing what the entire world has to offer sounds surprisingly good for me. Remember if things are ever too difficult there is someone out there to talk to and who has gone through the same things. It is important when something bothers you to get it out and release it. When you release the terrible things, this can help you bring in better things. We are always growing as people, and we can succeed!
