I will put my hands up and say that it has been nearly 2 weeks since my last blog post, and my goodness, what a different place I am in now.
A week ago last Friday, I gave myself a good “talking to”. I had let things pile up on me once again, I was starting to take myself down an old road that leads to nowhere. This was not a place I wanted to go. I had been there before, it’s crappy. I wanted out… or rather… for once in my life, I actually wanted in! (As in, stop the world, I want to get on!)
So what’s changed? My attitude. I cannot believe how much I surrounded myself in negativity. Wallowing in my own negativity, and deliberately putting myself in situations that enabled me to do this. I mean, this blog (and no offence to you reading it) is/was part of that.
When you are down, you want to pull everyone else down with you, and then sit and chew the fat about how crap everything is, thus making yourself feel worse.
I can see now, all that does it hold you back. Maybe that is why we do it? To hold ourselves back so that we don’t have to change, we don’t have to progress with our own self development etc.
I am going to keep this short and sweet, but, I just want you to have a think about whether you are sick and tired of the “same old, same old” and realise that the only one who can make things better, is you.
If the glass is half full, or half empty, it is up to you how you see it.
All I know is, when I stopped assuming it is always half empty things got a whole lot better.
I hope you stay with me on this journey x
