Remember you can never ignore life because it will eventually catch up with you. It can come calling and you will have no choice but to answer it. Remember that people sometimes get the idea that they can treat others like toys. That is a dangerous game to play by the person playing it. That is why we have people out there though that are playing these games right at this moment. Can you feel them? You might be able to if you take a quick pause. Do you want to be the life of the party? You know what to do and say when you are around others. You feel powerful and able to get what you want. Some people want to stay to the side and those can be good people. The only person that is important and can judge is yourself. Nobody else opinion is valid or reasonable in any way. They could feel biased in some way or end up feeling threatened in some way. If you must rely on someone’s opinion it will have to be your own. I know it may not feel as good when it is coming from yourself as from others, but it will still mean a great deal for you. Remember the power you must turn the situation upside down. From thinking the day started off bad to having it end feeling like a winner. Your peace is important and what you want is important. Not dealing with the chaos that can surround us is a good place to start. Things can end up beautifully when we stop putting pressure on them to happen and just ease into what we want. If you want to feel loved, you can give that to yourself. If you want to feel powerful you can also give that yourself. If you want to feel confident think about something that makes you happy and you know something about it that you can share. You will be trying to make a connection and that is all you can do. If you want to put pressure on something, put pressure on yourself to do better in the next minute even and see what happens. Take a second to listen to yourself and what it is trying to tell you. It will always lead you to the right place. Whether that place is the buffet or school it might take you places you never expected. Think about a trait you have that brightens your day. Not anybody else’s day but your day. Think about what it means to you and of course why it is important to you. The terrible things may take us at some point. We should take a second to listen to what you need. Take a second to be happy for what you have and for showing up for yourself when it has mattered. For those of you that want to play games in the gutter, I wish you the best of luck in your games.
