Believe You're Worth It

I can remember feeling weird about telling people I didn't feel like I was good enough, or that I was really worth fighting for. I felt like if I said that to someone they would think I was only looking for attention or a pity party. Of course there was the side of me that wanted to be told that wasn't the case, but I recognize now that in a way I wanted to cry out for help. I desperately didn't want to feel the way that I did. I wanted to believe that I was worth it. But, instead of working through the issues that would have helped me to get to the place where I believed in myself, I was looking for other people to make me feel like I was worth something. And, no matter what someone else tells you, you won't truly believe you're worth it, until you personally believe it.

Ultimately, it takes not only dealing with your own issues, but pushing yourself to do things you'd never thought you'd do. Experience is everything. Combine the drive to learn and experience new things with your faith, and a person becomes unstoppable. I now believe (most of the time) that I am worth it. :)

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years. Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use. Until then... these are just amusing.

Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.

Blessed

Ahh… the holidays are officially here and in full swing. I had the most lovely visit with my family over Thanksgiving. I am so blessed!! We ate way too much, watched way too much football for my taste, and really just hunkered down for a couple of days enjoying each other’s company. I didn’t even mind all the stuff everywhere. J I felt sad and lonely after everyone left on Saturday. Luckily, I’ll get to see them again in a few weeks!! There were many lessons learned over those couple of days. For one, I need to maintain a healthy and active mind. I also, need to stay on top of my hearing and monitor the progression of loss. After being around my parents for a few days, I see my future, and I’m screwed. LOL. I paid attention at how my parents and my sister and her girlfriend interacted, and I can see evidence of the importance of maintaining open communication, and remaining fr...
