Where is the love anymore? It is with you always and can help you through anything. Being able to trust yourself and believe in yourself is not easy for everyone. It can take time and energy to be able to fully trust yourself. Some people can do it right away and others need practice to be able to master that skill. Being afraid of life repeating itself is something I am afraid of but its not necessary. Life happens to help and teach us and not to destroy everything we have. Life is there for what you need now. Why is it you feel the way you do and how do you get it to what you want it to be? By trusting in yourself that you are making the right choices and doing what is best for you. Feeling good in being who you are is not easy for everyone. You can always come back from anything when you are able to think of a way to solve your problems. There are answers out there, but they are not easy to find. When you are feeling low you need something positive to boost your spirits. Something that will make you feel best. When you are feeling good it becomes about sustaining that feeling. Making sure you do anything to be able to keep the fun time rolling. Living the good times makes the bad ones not as bad. It is true that we remember terrible things much more often than good things. That is why you will hear about replacing bad thoughts with good ones or practicing gratitude. Expecting others to change is a wasted effort. You will always have to make the changes yourself and then see how others react to it. You can always join in with people or stay out if you are not feeling comfortable. The instincts that we have are all for our benefit and that is why we need to trust them. Staying calm in the face of danger is another skill. You can freak out and go through the shocking discovery of the event but then you need to put in motion a way to solve the issue. To solve an issue, you will have to be calm. You should always take care of yourself (eat right, work out, socialize). Then when you are in the state where you are calm you will be able to think at your best. If you try to solve the issue immediately when discovering it and the shock is taking over, you will be in trouble. Then you are making a panicked and rush decision. Make sure you are in the right state of mind when making a major decision. It happens more often than you would think but it never has to. I think that living in the present moment is when you will thrive. Not worrying about past or future but only what is happening right now. It narrows your focus, and you would think it makes you more authentic. When we have no path, we create our own. There are unlimited number of paths possible in life.
