Thursday Thoughts!

'You'll never be who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone for who you are now!'

I find this to be so true! This statement goes hand in hand with living in the space of negativity, when we start living positively, looking for good rather than focussing on negatives, you are able to start taking responsibility for yourself and your own happiness.

Life is a series of choices, we choose to participate or not participate in situations every day. There a definitely times when situations occur outside of our control in which we find ourselves as a unwilling participant however we can still choose whether we continue to participate by way of actions or thoughts of the situation. There is a great saying;

"I forgive people"

It does not mean I accept their behaviours or trust them again,

It means I forgive them for me, so I can let go

And move on with my life

"For me"

Bad things and situations happen to people every day, yet if you look at those who triumph and live a life we admire, these people, in most people's opinion, have the right to be bitter about their situation due to what has happened.  When I have listened to some of their stories and how they have triumphed living life positively, every single one of them started their journey of healing by taking control and responsibility for their own actions and reactions followed closely by them forgiving either the situation or person involved. Not one of these people that I have had the pleasure of hearing their story, blames anyone and in fact they all have found something to be thankful for out of their own experience or resulting situation. These people are my heroes and make me want to better myself.

'Healing is no accident, you have to do it on purpose'.  To all those people going through shit but trying their hardest to be positive, I am proud of you!

As my previous post about starting your week positively said - choose to be positive today, take control and be who you want to be!
