"The harder the wind blows, the stronger the tree grows."
Don't know who said that but it sounds good today.
WAW currently feels as trapped and smothered by me, as I once did by her. Until I realized its not the things that happen to us that matters, it is the meaning we give to those things that matters.
In other words "you can't control the wind, but you can control your sails."
In other words, we can't control the things that happen to us, all we can control is the meaning we give to those things.
Today I am stepping up. Today I am going to be a leader not a whiner. Today I am going to be strong and honest and real and good. Today I am going to be myself no matter if anyone else likes it or not.
WAW feels she is trapped because she does not yet see that she really does have a choice...that being personally responsible means exactly that.
Being ABLE to RESPOND. Being able see various points of view, to assess what serves your purpose, and taking effective action.
Today I am personally responsible for my own health, wealth and happiness and I will BE that way and DO the things I must UNTIL
