Make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best in what you do.
Take care of yourself. …don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life. You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.
There will be mistakes along the way………..but they will also be lessons and you will never make the right choices without making a few the wrongs
ones first
So remember to love, laugh and live completely with no regret
because true friends will always be there no matter what………………
and in the end You alone determine your own happiness,
And God will be with you each step of the way..
I will never understand the need of some people to be negative ....................... what does it help......................... They don't see the silver lining, they see the rain clouds, they don't see the cup half full, they see the cup half empty.................. they don't see the house full of laughing children they see the mess................. they don't see the joy of life giving rain, they see the mud............ why is this??
What gene do these people have that makes it impossible for them to see the good, in life, in situations, in people, to see beyond, their looks or their circumstances and see the person they have become, to see the learning in a situation, to see the beauty that is in everything................
I have realised over the "many" years that if you cannot laugh at yourself, if you cannot find the 'funny' in all situations.......... then life is tough............. the sad part is that this is a choice that you make.......... this is a decision that is in your hands............... this is a decision between laughter and sadness............................
I have distanced myself from many people over the years, although still friends, I do not seek them out and spend as little time as possible with them, because the are just too draining, to melodramatic, to drama queen,/king not happy unless there is a disaster in there lives, not happy unless there lives are a mess........
I have had someone tell me that they were robbed, all their clothes were gone....... so we rallied around and got some new clothes, people emptied their closets, and took it out to them ................ the washing on the line had been stolen.................. bong........... friend gone.................... drama queen
I have had someone who was pleading poverty, separated for two years, not working, three young children to support living off maintenance and her mother ............. who when a job came along was not ready for it the children needed her ................bong ...... gone .......... lazy woman.
I have had a friend who hated her job, moaned about her boss, complained about the travelling, her salary, her co-workers ............. was offered a new job and refused, was 5 km further from home............... bong........ gone.............. ridiculous woman.
I have a friend, who is divorced and months after the divorce, caused mainly by herself, still cry's when you talk about her husband.............. bong ....... gone living in the past.
We need to be there for each other in times of need, we need to uplift and support one another, we need to pray for one another, but we also need to want to change our circumstances.............. a friend of mine my "bestest" friend once told me when I was unhappy at work......... "Get used to it or find another job" .............. I will be there 22 years in April............... I got used to it, learnt to work around it, learnt to use it to my advantage...............
We have to surround ourselves with positive people, people who can lift us up when we are down, people who can be honest with us and tell us when we are being the drama queen, the lazy woman, the ridiculous woman, the live in the past woman.............. because.......................... Life is what YOU make IT , your attitude, your choices, your happiness, your joy, your direction, your life....................
Negative people will suck you dry if you let them...My Dad was such a positive person. When I was 10 his company went on strike, he had a heart attack, and then in Nov. of that year our house burned down. We lost everything...except our lives. He said the house was just a building unless we were all there and we would rebuild (which we did) and then he smiled and said "Thank goodness nothing really bad has happened this year!"
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing this post! I totally agree with you. I have lost some friends due to the same reasons and sometimes feel guilty about it, but I find the negativity and drama just wears me out. I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful life, that I feel sad to hear that people are not happy with the lives that they are living. It absolutely does come down to choices we make for ourselves and how we choose to view our circumstances that affects our happiness. I choose to be happy. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to capture happiness in my life for a while now. It's not as easy as it sounds sometimes, but I'm working on it. Life is over before you know it, why waste the time dwelling on the negative?

How very true! I heard a saying once that nobody ever died of hard work! I get frustrated with people who want the easy life but don't want to work for it!
