How Do You See Yourself?

The type of influences and people we surround ourselves with will have an important impact on us, especially when we are young. We may not realize, and I did not realize at the time how important this was until later in life. Please make sure and have positive and good influences and people surrounding you. If you have bad ones or run into bad ones it can be difficult to deal with. Giving you a head start of having good influences in your life will help set you up for success. When you feel the good things around you it will make you smile and relax. It sounds corny, but to me this is exactly the type of feeling and things more people need. People have forgotten the word human in humanity and that we are all humans and deserve too not let others hurt us. When you feel people treated you bad or unfairly, how does that make you feel and react? I would always explode the moment I would feel someone pushed me too far and would start a confrontation. That I can say did not work out well for me. I had to take responsibility for my part and what I was doing and stop that the next time. When I did this and stopped reacting it improved the situation. It can make you feel bad or sad when you know things are going unfairly, and you do not understand why. If it is a recurring theme, then this can eventually wear you down. Where do we go if we feel sadness? I tend to go somewhere happy, or I would listen to the type of music that would pump you up for a workout. That seemed to work and make feel better. The important part is making sure you take care of yourself and that you never spiral out of control. Why is it when we are learning things that can be the toughest times? Because we do not know any better and must figure out our own path to success. Why is it people can treat you badly and then act like you are the bad person? People have put their issues onto me at some points and that at the time was difficult to deal with. I was always going I do not want this. What I realized now is when others toss their garbage at me I would ignore it. It took me a long time to understand that when these things it happened it did not mean something was wrong with me. It meant that I was mentioning some issue they were having with themselves and it UPSET THEM. Now if this happens, I just feel bad that the person may be going through a tough time and do not take it personally. Being able to deflect from stuff going on like a shield is something I can respect in someone. Bailing from issues will never make them go away. Dealing and healing the issues will make them go away and make you happy. The positive changes start with each of us.
