I sat and read a few of the stories here. I will say it is a sad plight many of you are in. The thing is, you have the power to change your life. You do. I am a mother to 3 amazing kids. They are smart, have more than most, yet see only what they choose to see. Most parents will do whatever we can to help our children make it in this world. It is no easy feat. We can guide and advise and only hope they will choose the right path. It is so painful to watch someone you love more than anything in this world slowly create their destiny. I say painful because it is the choices they are making today that will shape who they become in the future. I cannot go back and change things for them now, I can only focus on today and the future and rebuild from there. Looking back, I wish I had done things a bit differently when they were younger. I would have made them figure out that it was their job to turn in homework, or clean up their own messes(physical and relational). It was their responsibility to be to class on time. It was their choice to dress like they were drug dealers. It was choices. Every choice you make has a consequence. Every, single, one. Choose wisely. You will make mistakes and that's ok. You will learn not to make the same mistakes. You cannot go back and change your past and fix those mistakes but you can choose to make good choices today. Be on time for class, do your homework. Get to work on time. All the choices are up to you no one else. You can choose to let it bother you that you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Is it just the need to be validated? You exist, and you are powerful in all you do. You don't need someone else to tell you that. Every action you make is a reflection of who you are inside. Choose to be strong. Choose to lead your life with direction and perserverence. Don't give up on your dreams! You may have had a bad past or are dealing with junk right now, CHOOSE to be stronger, CHOOSE to make the change, CHOOSE to be what you know you can be. Let go of what you cannot change, focus on what you can. Everyone in this world is givin junk to deal with, every single person. It is what you do with it which decides who are you going to be. Let go, forgive, move on. I hope hearing from the other side will help you see that behind every struggle there is someone on the other side who is struggling too. Try to see that you are not alone in your quest for happiness and fulfillment. When you start letting go of what you cannot change and start focusing on what you can change you will get stronger and happier.. I wish each and everyone who is dealing with your pain to take a minute and really look at yourself and see what you have to offer. I know right now it may not seem like anything, but dig a bit deeper, you will see it is there. You have brought something great to this world..now go share it... | |
