Trusting yourself when you do is scary, but completely worth it. I know all about this fear, but some of us will conquer it and sadly some of us will let it conquer them. If people cut you down low, are you going to stoop to their level? We must teach ourselves to deal with our battles. People can be afraid of everything. From being alone in life to avoiding commitment in life. There can be a litter of reasons of why something did not happen for you. When something did not happen for you, it was never yours to begin with. It looked shiny, glittery, helped you at one point but it was never yours. Nobody wants to feel hurt and yet they can feel hurt again. Everything can be a gamble, and you must decide when it is worth it. Sometimes people will limit themselves because of fear. You may think that you would never do it, but sometimes we do. We think we our only as good as what we are worth. What happens the days we think we are not worth very much? They will be the vulnerable days that come up. The days that challenge you. The days where you could end up limiting yourself with your low self-worth. My head can be an asset, but it can also cause trouble. When you think too much, you could play out different scenarios in your head and lose sense of reality. That is something I have been trying to get better with. Always slow it down and think about what is going on. Never let your thoughts lead you to making bad decisions for yourself. But how can we do this? By knowing like with people, when a thought is contributing positively or negatively to you and what is going on. Embrace the positive thought, accept the negative thought, move on to the next thought. Nobody knows the right move to play in your life. They will lead you to believe they do, but they do not. Hope, patience, forgiveness, strength. These are the things I am leaning into right now. Hope that good things will continue to happen. Patience that my hard work pays off. Forgiving both the things I cannot change about myself and if I feel anyone has hurt me. Strength to know your worth, what you are capable of, and controlling your emotions. These things have led me to where I am today and will lead me to positive things in the future. When you have battled yourself many times you will usually lose. You must work with yourself to make yourself happy. Your ego or brain is not an enemy. It has important things to tell you, and you would be wise to listen to both. We always know more about what is going on than we may lead on. I do not know if this is a trick to deceive us or hide what is going on. Making my life my own is what will get me far and not following what everyone is saying.
