Do you always tell yourself you “can’t” do something?
Do you always tell yourself that you are not good enough?
Do you constantly let the bad memories of your past overshadow the good ones and let them rule your thoughts?
Do you tell yourself that maybe you are just not worth being happy?
Do you tell yourself that maybe it “was” your fault?
I am a firm believer that our actions are a direct derivative of our thoughts!! Years ago, when I was in the middle of my addictions, I let fear, negativity, doubt, and sadness rule my life. I always thought the worst! I thought I would die an active addict, I thought I was not good enough to have anything good in my life, my past always set the tone for my future(and it was not pretty at all), happiness never lived in my heart, and thought that everything was my fault. I was just skimming on the surface of life and sadly, never advancing it. Resentments and bitterness were my outward portrayal of my inward emotions and when asked why I was like that, I did not understand the question and reacted as such with an outward portrayal of belligerence. I was lost in a world that I did not want to be in any longer and decided, (yes I made the decision, despite how hard it was and how much it went against the grain of my soul), not to live like this any longer and I changed. I made a conscience effort to improve every facet of my life and moving forward, expect better results for it as well. I came to the realization, with the support of my peers that I reached out to for help, that I was worth living a life of happiness and that it was me, and only me, who was stopping me from living that life..
Fast forward 7 plus years and I am still moving forward, still making mistakes(but learning from them instead of getting angry over them), still ridding myself of the toxic life I lead, and will always and forever be improving…I live each day as if it were my last and I never let the negativity that may surround me, break the magic seal of my heart.
So how about you? Are you going to realize that yes, you have the inner strength to do the same, that you are a winner and deserving of good things in your life, that your thought process needs to change from negative to positive, and that you “CAN” do whatever it is you want to do? Are you ready to take back your life from the things that happened to you years ago and never let them into your heart again? I hope so because you are unique to this world and the world is waiting for you!!!
REMEMBER, YOU WILL NEVER BE STRONG UNLESS YOU TELL YOURSELF YOU ARE STRONG, YOU WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING YOU TELL YOURSELF YOU CAN NOT DO, AND YOU WILL NEVER BE THE PERSON YOU DREAM ABOUT IF YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF YOU ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!!!!
Today, choose to be better in every facet of your life. Let go, move forward, expect abundance, and let nothing pierce the magic lining of your heart that will hurt you!!!!!!! YOU ARE A WINNER!!!!!!!
