Following Your Own Path




We are all on some kind of journey.  Most of us are on many different journeys, all at the same time.  The important thing to remember for each and every journey, is to follow your own path.  Many people may be on similar journeys.  It's ok to listen to their ideas and their suggestions.  You never know if they will tell you something that will benefit you in your own journey.  However similar your journey may be to theirs, no two people are going to have the exact same journey.  If we try to follow someone else's journey, step by step, we are likely to stumble, and possibly get lost.  What works for one person, may not work for another.   

Your journey is yours alone.  Choose your path and begin.  Keep in mind that sometimes the right path for you, may not be the easiest path to take.  If you come to a fork in the road, pause, and make a decision as to which way that you want to go - maybe even try the road less traveled.  You can always turn around, go back to that fork in the road, and go the other direction, if you don't like where the first road led you.  Backtracking, and restructuring your journey, is not a negative thing.  It only means that you are looking for the correct path for you.  If you stumble and fall, get back up and keep going.  If you do get lost along the way, you will find your way again.

Believe in yourself!  Choose your own path!  You will find your way!  You will succeed!

Why Do You Want Me To Fail?

What happens when your significant other doesn't support you in your journey?  What happens when their words and actions hurt?  What happens when you feel like your friends don't support you, and want you to fail?  Do you think about quitting because it is just easier than dealing with the hurt, and lack of support?    What is wrong with people?  Friends and significant others are supposed to love you and support you, so why don't they?  People in general, (not all people, but many) are mean, selfish, and belittling to others.  They want to bring others down, and they work hard at doing this.  It makes some people feel bigger to bring others down.  When you are in this situation, it is hard to see.  The problem is not you!  The problem is them!  Some people are just miserable in their own lives, and they try to reflect it on other people, when they should be taking a good look at themselves...

Negative v. Postive Self-Talk and Self-Esteem

Before I get into stories, and my point of view on this topic, I have a confession.  I am a work-in-progress when it comes to this.  Knowing, and practicing, are two very different things.  It takes personal growth, and I believe that I am slowly, but surely getting there. I believe that the majority of people are unhappy with themselves, for one reason for another.  We may feel fat, ugly, incompetent, lazy, or have any other of a million different ways.  I believe that we all can relate to some, or many of these feelings. My story is that I did look at myself in the mirror, and I saw myself as fat, ugly, and sometimes, pretty much worthless.  Sometimes I saw a total failure in that mirror.  When I would talk to myself, and to others, I would call myself those things, but also referred to myself as a fat cow, a hippo, a moose, or a manatee (a sea cow).  How's that for hating yourself and being negative?  How this affected my self-est...

Doubt Can Kill Your Dreams

Doubt kills more dreams that failure ever will.  All of us have dreams (or goals, if you want to look at them that way.)  As an example, we want to lose weight.  When you decided that you wanted to do this, did you doubt that you could do it?  Did you think that you could do it, and then have someone else tell you that you wouldn't be able to do it, therefore, making you doubt yourself?  How do you think that this will affect your attempt?  If you have a bad day, do you just throw in the towel, and tell yourself that you knew you couldn't do it? I fall into this category.  I want to run a mile, but I have caught myself doubting that I will ever be able to do it.  I have doubted my ability to do this for many years. I justify the doubt by telling myself that I'm just not a runner.  Well, I want to get past that.  I really want to be able to run a mile.  I know that to accomplish this, I will have to constantly tel...
