How we feel about ourselves can help shape our reality. If we are proud of ourselves and feel that we are doing well and having a good life, then we probably are. If we are ashamed of ourselves and feel like we aren't successful and we are a big disappointment to ourselves and everyone else around us, well, then we are.
Some people go through life functioning on auto-pilot because they are just doing what they think that they are supposed to be doing. They perform their daily tasks with all the passion of any automaton.
Some people make their own lives difficult with their thrill for drama.
Some people can't express themselves to others. Some people express themselves constantly.
Some people put conditions on their relationships with others.
Some people enjoy being mean.
For some people it's a popularity contest and it's the number of people they have around them that counts, not the depth of the friendship.
We are all children of God. We should be proud of that. He thought enough of us to let us be born into this world, so you must have some redeeming qualities. We should not be ashamed of our supposed short-comings. We should examine them and find out where they come from, and learn from them and even fix them if we can.
We all have our own personal code and we all know when we break it. If that's not the case, then I suggest that you go get some professional help if you've never felt guilt, shame, or sorry for anything that you've done.
The task for us all is to be our best selves. To keep learning and growing to be the best you that you can be. It's a life-long pursuit that's not even probably attainable in this life. Remember, it's the journey, not the destination.
Put away your shame for past deeds. Make repairations if you can, if you can't let it go in the wind. Learn from your mistakes and don't repeat them.
Take pride in the fact that you are here for a reason. Do your best to be yourself everyday. Your best self. The one that you know that you can be, and the one that with growth in habit and perserverance you would be proud to see in the mirror everyday. You CAN do it, if you just DO it.
How we feel about ourselves reflects outward into the world and others can pick up on that and that may be how they come to feel about us.
Until next blog!
Love, Angelia
