What do you do when you are scared to release control of your life? Life can feel daunting, exciting, challenging, celebrating. I feel like if I let go, terrible things will come in that could sidetrack me. I have always had this independent need to do what I want to do and when I want to do it. What I want is to be in the driver’s seat and not in the passenger seat. How do I get myself to take a deep breath, relax and say everything is going to be ok. I do not know what will happen to me like anyone else. I am listened too, appreciated, excited to be living. We need to show people that whether we have others in our lives or are alone there is a power inside each of us that is ready to brighten everything up. I stay motivated to having a happy life by being there for myself and making sure I am doing my best in my life. I have seen people throw their lives aways, because they think they do not matter to anyone so why should they matter at all. Please remember that everything does matter, and every person does really matter. Some people we will not like, understand, or want to be around and that is ok. It is important to be ok with yourself and get to know yourself on a personal level. I have spent many times going to a quiet place, settling myself and really trying to solve an issue I am having. Never shame yourself for your past but look at it as an experience. Experiences to me are worth more than gold. We all want to be able to have the times of our lives, but everyone gets to this point an unusual way. You can have the time of your life doing anything that is worth it to you. What do you value your time with? What do you want to value your time with? I value my time writing this post, and I am going to value my time by writing this post. I think we should always share the positive things with each other, but we can learn to hold some of the negative’s things to ourselves. If I am unhappy, what is the best way to get happy again? It depends on the issue. Certain issues take more time than others. I would suggest to always keep things simple. What is one this at this place, this time, which would make my day better. I did not say have a good day, or that I am bored out of my mind. I said what is something that could make my day better right now? Then proceed to take time out of your day to do this activity. You can see how you are feeling after you complete the activity and go from there. It is hard to release the control in my life because I want and expect things to go right. Life does not care about what I think, and I have made it one of my biggest strengths to be able to adapt with it when it does. You can always have gold, but not when you are sitting in shit.
