I Am Worthy

I recently had a birthday. And, because I was so sure that I was a burden to everyone around me, and that no one could possibly care about me, I pushed everyone away. I refused to acknowledge the day at all. In fact, I keep the day a secret from everyone at work. It wasn't until later did I realize that I probably hurt those people that do in fact care about me, because I wouldn't let them express how they felt. Even though it feels unnatural, and actually hurts in my heart sometimes to receive love from others, I'm determined not to push people away anymore.

The thought process I will be changing this week is that I am in fact, worthy of love. People do care about me. If I would just open myself up, and get out of my own head, then I would see it!

"I am worthy of love. Allow other people to express their love for me freely."

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.

Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better. You are better today, than you were yesterday. Just keep going! Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.

Why Do People Do What They Do?

Last week, I attended a client meeting with several of my co-workers. During said meeting, one of my co-workers, and good friend, got up to get water for our guests from a mini fridge in a cabinet located in the meeting room. But, she wasn't really quiet or discrete about it, and proceeded to slam the cabinet doors, while our guests were speaking. Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine. But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude. It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats. Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others. I immediately did some self-reflection. While I'm pretty good about not...
