This is on my mind this week…..
I am writing from the hospital bed so please understand
A thought ..,,,
I don’t like daylight savings time. And I don’t like coverups. Truth does not matter anymore and I don’t like that.
I like nighttime for sleeping and ´
TRUTH MATTERS
Another thought …….
I realized today that I’ve been looking at things all the wrong way..
Well, at least for me.
I’ve been thinking my life wasn’t enough or that things haven’t gone my way so much that I’ve forgotten that I can control it all.
It’s up to me what I see- not just what I look at.
I’ve been staring at the glass thinking it’s not full enough or too empty and stopped remembering that I can keep filling that glass every day just as much as I want to.
I don’t have to be okay with accepting less than I want…
In fact, I’m tired of that.
I need more.
I deserve more.
More happiness, more fun, more things that fill my soul and fire my passions.
I’m through chasing empty pursuits, hanging around negativity and letting toxic people stay in my life.
I’m not going to keep looking at that glass and hoping it was fuller.
I will take every chance to fill it to the brim and live the life I want.
No more settling, excuses and feeling disappointed.
I’ve tried that and it just doesn’t work.
I’m welcoming all the people, places and adventures that make me feel alive and bring depth to my soul.
Maybe that means taking road trip without a map.
Perhaps that means dancing in the kitchen with the music turned all the way up.
Or maybe, just maybe…
That means setting out in search of love, laughter and happily ever after-
And never looking back
Another thought…..
There is little you can do to make everyone like you.
Some people will see the real you, straight away.
The you with the worries, the fears, the kind heart.
Others will only see what you have that is not theirs.
Or who you have.
Or a life that sparkles a tad too brightly for their liking.
In Some People’s Story You’re An Angel, In Others You’re The Villain.
And that is pretty much that.
If you are spending any time worrying how others see you, or whether they think you are a good person or not, you are wasting precious time my friend.
Precious time that is much needed elsewhere.
Is is universal truth that you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
That in fact, the best way to get even close to this goal, is to stop trying and to just be your authentic self, with kindness.
Always with kindness.
So, if you have been hurt by an unjust representation of you in someone’s story, take comfort in the fact that it is not the truth.
And that the right people will see that.
Keep your sparkly little light shining and your people will find you.
And they will stay.
And you will never have to convince them of who you are.
Best, Jay
