You Can't Control the Wind


Sometimes what's most frustrating, is that we can't control what other people do.  We would be so much happier if other people behaved the way we wanted them to, wouldn't we?  Unfortunately, the world doesn't revolve around us, and we can't get everything that we want!  LOL.  Plus, if you think about it, I can guarantee that other people think that we can be equally as frustrating.  The only thing we can do is focus on what we can control... how we react to things.  We can control our attitudes and how we view the world, whether or not we hold onto things from the past, or whether or not we give up because things get difficult.  Today, I choose to have a positive outlook and look at all challenges as a growth opportunity.

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.

Embrace Being Uncomfortable

We’ve all heard it before, “ Life isn’t always comfortable.”   Even if the change is a positive one, like eating healthier… it’s still not comfortable.     I’m in the process of buying my first home, and while I’m so happy and excited, I’m also really nervous and scared.   I would like to think I’m ready for the additional challenges and responsibilities of owning my own home.   But, what if I’m not?   Big life changes can be really nerve-racking!   But, I’m finding familiarity with being uncomfortable.   And, I actually take that to be a good thing.     If we get too comfortable, there is no growth, and if there is no growth, then we are just slowly dying. So, this week, embrace being a little uncomfortable.   It’s how you know you’re changing!        

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  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.
