Well...it's been TOO long since my last blog. Call it lack of inspiration or maybe just completely overwhelmed with this thing called life! I am never one to "force a blog" or write just because it has been awhile. Writing is a passion, a hobby, but unless my soul is aligned with a topic, I won't even delve into my laptop with the hope that my fingers will type out something on their own.
Topic today...sanity. The opposite of sanity of course is insanity, crazy, mad, nuts, unbalanced, trainwreck, and even unpredictable. Words that I am quite familiar with! In the search for sanity, we can make ourselves absolutely insane! In the quest for balance, we can become lost, unable to find a happy medium in anything we do or say. Often times, we have to look around, outside of ourselves, to try and understand what is making us "crazy".
Recently, I have learned (possibly the hard way...but this is NO pity party!) is that there are people and things in our life that we have to let go of, no matter how much it hurts. To clarify, these are people and things that bring out the absolute worst in you...all those traits and "demons" that we prefer to keep locked up in the safe haven of our heart's chambers. We search ourselves, and plead with ourselves to become a certain way and our soul is in pure conflict...
Here comes the crazy...the unbalance...the tightrope walk that in no way are you going to cross without falling and shattering!
Stop. Wait. Be still and regroup. Understand that you are worthy, amazing, gifted, and extremely special. And that ANY situation or relationship that you're in that does not convey these feelings, leave it. Walk away and never look back.
We cannot fill anyone's cup unless ours is filled.
We cannot fight someone's demons when ours are alive and well, and "running the show".
We cannot change anyone.
We are not powerless; we must empower ourselves, dig deep, and absolutely fall in love with the person that looks back at you in the mirror.
Life is hard enough. Every day is an opportunity for you to do better.
Think of 5 words you use to describe yourself; if ANY of them are negative, put downs, or just not equivalent of "fanfriggintastic" CHANGE IT! Feel free to comment below.
