Getting on With Living…

Maybe this should be called ‘having courage’.

It’s been said over and over before, here it goes again–it’s usually not as bad as you think it is.

Personally, when things are not good, it is because I’ve done what I’ve done over and over. The thing I do automatically, usually without realizing it. And then I complain. And that is a serious waste of time, energy, and puts the possibility of things getting better into the backseat.

Most of us have something we do that doesn’t help our own cause, doesn’t add to our sense of power; kind of jepardizes it. For me, it’s thinking someone knows something I don’t, that they can handle my life better than I can. The short title is ‘giving my power away.’ Ugh. and then ‘ah’.

There are sooo many ways for me to not do this. And, it is in the paying attention and doing the things that will keep me from relying on someone or something that I become stronger, clearer, and simply happier. Without number one firmly in place taking care of number one, there the journey loses it’s excitement, and may even head toward crash and burn.

Selfishness isn’t always self-centeredness, but may be the best thing a person could do for their own progress.
