I started to write something else

but I realized as I was writing it that it was negative.   I am a motivated type of person, how can that be?  I should always be inspiring and uplifting right?   blah blah blah.

As I was reading over the first paragraph it occurred to me that I needed to change my thought process.  Instead of dwelling on the “I can’t”  or “I hope”  it should be  “I can”  and ” I will.”

Change

Changing a habit or something that seems normal to us is a very hard thing to do.  It takes determination and guts.  It also takes a strong will that can override the challenges.  This is where I have failed in the past.  I do not have a strong will unless it involves my family (then I become a fierce lion).

Are you a people pleaser?

I’ve always been the one to back down and let others have their way, especially if there is an argument.  I would rather back down then argue.   Oh, don’t get me wrong, inside my mind I know that I am right but I have always been a people pleaser.  I want everyone to be happy.

Balance in all areas of your life.

I’ve written a lot about balance in my blog.  I believe that balance is the key to harmony with yourself and others.   So, balance should be the answer here also.  I should speak up for the things I believe in and want, but do it in such a way that it doesn’t hurt or misuse anyone.

My mama always said  “if you can’t say something nice then don’t say anything at all.”  I believe that is true.  I will continue to stay true to my word, I will begin speaking my mind more often when conflict occurs but I will stay true to myself  and my character by saying it in a way that is nice and regardful.   Life is just to short to say words that I may regret later.

I started to write something else in this post but it became this.  Maybe someone needed to read this today, maybe it was me?  Whatever the reason, I know it has a purpose.
