// People Pleasing.//

Lesson of the last like week… Do not ever try to please everyone. For it will never happen and you will only kill yourself trying to make everyone happy. Life is not about pleasing people and not living your own life and make others happy. It’s about making and keeping yourself happy. For you are the only one who truly matters. The people around you may not be in the picture months from now.. So be yourself. If people aren’t happy, let them walk away. It’s their loss anyway.

// Strength.//

This evenings post will be about having strength.  The reason for this is because I am slowly realizing that you really do only know how strong you are when strong is all you have left.  That is not to say the my strength is all I have left but I feel that I am relying on my strength more now than I ever have in the past.  Life, right now, has decided to throw some curve balls at me.  Now I am not one for change.  Change of any kind really.  So when you are dealing with someone who thinks that you are throwing your life away, someone who cannot make up their mind (or has and refuses to share their thoughts), and people who just expect yo uto be happy all the time, as well as a butt ton of change, strength is really all you have to go on.  It is the reason I wake up each morning, ready to face the day. Ready to take on what ever is coming at me.  I do think that it is sad that there are people in this world that only have their own strength to rely on all day, everyday.  I do believe that this could potentially be a lesson.  That even when you’re down and feel like you need someone to help you, you truly only need yourself to keep yourself happy.  No one else should have control over that.  It is forever in your hands.  As is your fate.

// When Life Gets Tough.//

The lesson for today for me was that life is always going to suck, if you see it that way. But as soon as you look at the bright side and see the positive in things, I promise everything will start looking up. I’ve learned over and over again that you are only dealt what you can handle. And yes life is hard but it will always have something to teach you. You have to want to learn, or the same bad things will continue to happen. So if you ever feel like life is just getting to be too much for you to handle, step back, look for the good in the situation, and then realize and appreciate what you have. There truly is no other way to live.

No lessons today.. I honestly just don’t give a shit.

// You Don’t Always Get What You See.//

Lesson of today… Do not always trust what people are telling you. I have learned the hard way that people will tell you what ever they think you want to hear. When you don’t respond the way they expect, they get mad and do what they think will get the reaction the want out of you. News flash, I didn’t want to hear it in the first place so stop trying so hard now… Just watch what you say and watch what you believe. It’s not always easy to tell the truth from the lies.

// Go With Your Gut.//

So between yesterday and today, I learned something that I feel everyone should know. If you have a feeling, one that you just can’t explain, run with it. Most of the time your gut instincts are right. Don’t force it to be true, don’t start doing things to make it happen, just let it happen. Let each moment come and go but don’t let them pass you by. Be attentive and learning with everything that you go through. But no matter what, don’t forget that feeling you had.

// When All Else Fails.//

My lesson for today is not one that was obvious. My lesson today was somewhat hidden in all of the busyness of today. Today I learned that as a human being, we all try to do what ever we must in order to fit in, to be accepted. And these things that we do are more than just a word here or there, a new hair cut, new make up. This things can include changing who you really are. I learned today that being me is just what I need to be. I am the way I am for a reason, if you don’t like it, donny talk to me. Leave me out of your life. Because I don’t change for anyone. Never have, never will. There will come a day when this hits everyone, and until that day I ask you to keep fighting for and believing what you stand for. Because later in life, who you were born to be is all that will matter.
