Every day I wake up, I am grateful, but often I have no real plan and I don't have it all figured out. I only hope to check off a few things from my to-do list and enjoy my day. I used to give myself a lot to people, situations, jobs and often found myself with little to give myself. Once I decided to change that, I began to see the true nature of those people who benefited from my kindness. It made me even more aware of how much I gave of myself with little in return. One thing I know about givers is they never really expect anything, they find joy in someone else's joy, but they also can get exhausted and resentful if given to the wrong people or situations. I decided to go inside and find the core of what I am about and why a lot of things just had to be. I had to be betrayed to find my strength. I had to make a few bad decisions to find a better way.
When you go on that journey of self-discovery you find out a little about who you are each day. Each day you build on that and become stronger in who you are and in what you believe. Knowing yourself is essential to healthy living, essential to those necessary boundaries, and essential to how you decide to proceed through life. Each day we decide if it will be a continuation of the previous day or a whole new day to do something different. It is always our decision. If there are any distractions, obstacles, or unexpected things that come up throughout the day, take a moment to think about how you will handle them.
How much time are you spending doing exactly what you want to do? How often are you in the presence of people who uplift, accept, and love you just as you are? You do not have to be anyone else but yourself to receive love, have success, and anything else you want in this world. But first, accept who you are. Accept the shitty parts of yourself, as well as the great.
Self-acceptance is very powerful because it takes away the judgment of others and it forces them to accept what's different and it forces you to stand in that power. Oftentimes, it also forces those who oppose you to either look at themselves and their actions and accept who they are or fall deeper into the abyss of self-denial. Again, you choose.
Life becomes a simple place to exist when you are intentional with your thoughts and actions. Not only are you aware of what you are doing, but you are also creating your desired outcome. When you are taking care of yourself, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually you are also helping taking care of others. When you spend an exorbitant about of time thinking about what someone else is doing, stalking, gossiping, and complaining, you are taking away from yourself and voluntarily giving up your power to people who barely even think of you.
