Self worth 101

You know what's funny to me? When I'm talking to someone and asking how they are doing. I hear the same answers usually. "I'm good" or "I'm fine, thanks" or how 'bout the famous "I'm okay,...." and then spilling out to you everything that is wrong in their lives.

Usually that is a pessimistic person of which I am not. What I mean is how people get into their ruts in life, but do nothing about them. I strongly believe your mind has the power to change the way you think and feel about things. I hear how people hate their job, or their best friend just wronged them, or their boyfriend/girlfriend isn't there for them or something to that matter. Basically just something to complain about.

Now, if you will please just take a minute and a breath and look into yourself and ask "Is this me? Am I that kind of person?" I say this because believe it or not, but you have complete control over your actions, your thoughts, and everything you do. You don't have to do anything anybody tells you to do. I don't know about you, but the word "NO" can be very powerful.

For instance... maybe your boss is offering you a position of which most of it sounds good, but in the long run, its just benefiting them. Say this with me.. NO THANK YOU. Not too hard right? You don't have to take it just because they might offer .25 cents more an hour. What is that? Did you bend over while they offered that to you?

Okay, next scenario... I hate my job but I can't quit cause I need the money. Okay people, when did money become so important that our sanity doesn't matter anymore? Ever heard of enjoying life? Taking a week off to travel? Going to some amazing place "even if it's just your back yard" to get away? I just think this world could be happier if people just learned to enjoy things a little more instead of feeling trapped. The number one reason I hear people staying in their J-O-B which means "Journey Of the Broke" is because they have insurance.... OMG! That is ridiculous. The golden handcuffs to life right? Ever heard of shopping around for insurance? YOU PAY INTO INSURANCE NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

So my point is, get out of your ruts people. If your woman or man is wronging you, then leave. What? You aren't strong enough? Okay, go to some counselor, get out all of your anger, self pitty, and childhood problems out on the table. When thats done, look at yourself everyday and remember that you have a purpose in this life. How important are you? or How important would you like to feel? If your answer is very important, then change something in your life. Fix your problem and the next time someone asks you how you are doing, politely say "Unbelievable" Why do you say that? Because you might be going through a hard time, so it's unbelievable, or your life might be soooo good, that you know what? It's unbelievable. You have to start somewhere people. Start making changes to better you, to love you, to appreciate your well being, to know that you are a human and you have the power to become anything you ever wanted. Get out and change you and you too will be able to love your life a little more everyday!

I hope this helps you friends. I know each of you like to get my advice, so this was my quick way of helping those of you who ask. And for those who didn't, well, I hope this helps you too.
