You know dear reader, sometimes there are just some things that you have to remind yourself about, especially when you keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Or you keep doing to yourself what you shouldn't be doing, for example, berating yourself, feeling "small" because of how others behave, or just because you can't possibly be sitting down and let people walk all over you....for the umpteenth time!
So you do what you know is best, you make a note to yourself of things you need to do! Here are some of the notes on my list - this is where you need to be brutally honest with YOU cause no one else will!
1) Stop feeling sorry for yourself!
Just because you haven't gotten to your ideal goal of manning your flagship empire yet, don't give up on your dreams! And no, that dream is not too far out of reach, it will be your very own, so keep it!
2) Stop comparing yourself to other people! (goes along w/number 1)
Remember you said you would stop doing that? That you would no longer live by other people's timeline because you are you, and they are well, not you! So what if you feel as if you're starting over again, suck it up because you are. Just stay focus and don't let ANYONE make you feel less than who you are just because you don't have a lofty title or have as many credit cards as they do.
3) Don't let other people push their crap on you.
That goes without saying. I know you love to help others, you like to do what you can for other people, that's just how you are. Where work is concerned, if you have to do it, then do it, otherwise, speak up and politely decline doing favors that you just cannot do!
4) Don't let other people's expectations interfere with your own plans. (goes along w/number 3)
Hmmm, I sense a theme here, you can only do what you can when you can do it, that is all! If you cannot do something that is asked of you, stop feeling guilty about it!
5) Stop being a worry wart!
Repeat after me "Let go of the things you cannot control, and handle those that you can." & "Don't worry about tomorrow, just feel real good about today"! (there's a song in that one!)
6) Keep on praying!
It reassures you and brings the blessings your way. Never forget to ask for yourself when you pray for others. And don't worry, God doesn't mind that you treat him like your psychiatrist! Just remember to always give thanks and praises!
7) Remember to keep finding the JOY in your life.
You cannot go around with the world on your shoulder, or else you're going to be flat on your back in a hospital room in no time! Just do what makes you happy and keep that smile on your face!
9) Life is too short to sweat the small stuff! (goes along w/numbers 5 & 7)
If at first you don't succeed, try and try and keep on trying! If something seems too big at first, Take one task/problem, work at it, until you have tackled that mountain! You can do all things through Christ who comforts you.
10) Don't ever give up on life!
Because it truly is worth living! I mean that in the most serious and sincere way. Remember your kids, your grandson, your hubby - the loves of your life; siblings and other family members who you love and try to keep in touch with. Also remember the little things that puts a smile on your face; that makes you laugh out loud; and remember your true friends. You might not feel you are at the place where you should be. But you are exactly where God needs you to be and he will walk in your footsteps because you're in his arms.
