K4D Rising #2

[ppenton]

Here is something which I believe sandi2 posted a while ago and I printed out and posted on my cube wall at work and read every morning for about 2 months after my W dropped the bomb on me. (I still look at whenever I need to)

It's not about recognition from other.. but about recognizing who I am.
Her/His approval does not define myself worth.
Sentences beginning with 'her/him', s/'he' are outlawed, along with 'poor me' statements.
I am no longer a victim.
I will move out of that comfort zone.
It's easier to be the one left behind when it comes to getting sympathy... but guess what.. that does nothing positive when it comes to living a full and productive life.
I will not feel sorry for myself.
I will accept the unknown, the fear.
I will trust those who are worthy.
I will take chances that lead to positive goals.
I will embrace change, be more flexible, listen without talking.
I will leave the crap where it lands and not carry it with me.
What other people say about me is none of my business.
What I say about others is my choice.
I will spend time on what brings joy, renewal and growth.
I will move to a better place in my life without worrying about should have's, would have's, could have's.
I will let go of how I let her/his choices disable me.
I will focus on where MY choices will take me.
I will not be perfect, the epitome of anything.
I will be a wonderful person with heart, grace, soul and farts.
I will accept all of me, even the crap I don't like.
I'll clean my mind, unload the stuff that's been stuffing it. Just let go of the clutter I cling to.
I will remember to smile for no reason, if only to keep that downturned line by my mouth from getting any deeper.
I will remember to wear sunblock.
I will embrace those who relish who I am, and not worry about the others.
I will not view myself through other people's eyes.
I will listen to what is said to me in love, concern, support, hate, disrespect and will make my own choices.
I will learn to separate my knee jerk reactions of emotions from what is truly good for me.
I will love me.. as wonderful, whacky, imperfect, gooky, sad, happy and however else I might be.
I will love others without the fear of the past crippling me.
I will live my life without the blanket of my fears and insecurities.
I will not scratch the wound.
I will accept and own what is mine and flush the rest.
I will heal, be happy, healthy and grateful for all that life has given and will give me.
I will move forward
Expect nothing and may get rewarded
I will be strong
Stay in the present (can’t change the past and don’t worry about the future)
If you focus on the past, you ruin the future. You can only live for today.
I will heal, be happy, healthy and grateful for all that life has given and will give me.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
Love is patient, love is kind...love never fails
And I will never be afraid to..
