It seems like I have been reading motivational and inspirational resources all my life. I have always strived to improve something about myself or surrounding. It seems I was just never good enough for myself until I finally accepted me. Do we really think money and success will make us happy? Well, it wouldn’t hurt to be able to be debt free and not have to worry about financial burdens, but is that the key to happiness?
I have known many people that were successful and I knew them to be unhappy. As far as I’m concerned the only way to be happy is to find peace within, yes I know that’s easy to say, but you have to learn to love yourself and be happy with who you are and not who everyone thinks or wants you to be. I was always trying to be someone other than me. Maybe you don’t know who me is and if not then I would suggest some form of meditation.
Over the years it seemed I was attracted to negative people, I guess it’s like the old saying that misery loves company, but that is the worst company to be in or like attracts like. Whatever, if you are around negativity it will pull you down and if your not negative then you can be sure that those that are, are very needy and they will pull you down before you will lift them up. Get away from them now! Let some sun in and appreciate that you have choices you can make to improve your happiness, life is too short.
Seek out inspiration for your life, find those positive people and embrace living, self pity is very destructive, but we all tend to wallow in it from time to time. Whatever circumstances that happened in my life gave me experience and the chance to choose something positive instead of negative, each day is a new day to begin again, so make this your new day to start over and love yourself, forgive yourself for anything bad you hold on to in your mind and heart. Remember this, if you can’t forgive yourself for something then you hold all of your brothers accountable also.
