I just realized again today, as I often do as the days/weeks/months go past, that I am the only person who is in control of my own thoughts and feelings. However, this is often easier said than done. I find myself being sensitive to what people who are close to me say and think, which causes me to react defensively and does nothing but cause problems. I feel that I am the only person who get's in the way of my own progress...my mind is my own worst enemy. How can I fix this and get tougher skin and live a more peaceful life?
Obviously I need to take myself more lightly, especially with the people that mean the most to me. I have had years and decades of my mind thinking the way it does, as my subconscious is who I really am. However, I need to first believe this before I can change it and develop new habits and behaviors that will lead to a different/better way of life. This only happens with an awareness of my subconscious thoughts and practicing new ways of thinking and dealing with the littlest issues in my life, so that my subconscious becomes more competent.
Everyone is going to have a thought about me or what I do, I can't control that. Sure, many people are going to judge me for my past mistakes I have made in my life, but I would not change this journey for the world, as it has made me who I am today and I am very proud of that. We are all our own unique and special people, as a great book states "there is a bit of good in the worst of us and a bit of bad in the best of us; that we are all children of God and we each have a right to be here."
Now the goal is to make my path into tomorrow more meaningful and successful....but it all depends on how you define that meaning and success. So...it is with this thought that I leave you..enjoy this night and the journey that we are on. Remember...that only YOU control the thoughts and feelings that you have every minute of every day...no matter what anyone says or does to you.
