Never say never, huh? Well...think again

 
Let's face it. Not all of us remain calm and assertive on weekends as this long one might prove. Many of us with the coming of age (or for most of us who are already of age) have jobs to attend to, important events to experience, university/college projects to work on, exam preparations to blow our brains for, people to meet, errands to run, families to raise, relationships to work on, major dilemmas to sort through on our own two feet. Not all of us are capable of taking some time out of our chaotic schedules to kick back at home and pamper ourselves with a little TLC even though well deserved. Keeping our cool is not always easy...(well OBVIOUSLY!!). On the other hand what is easy is mouth rolling some negative thoughts with.."Ooh I can't...", "I would never be able to..." or "So and so can do this a whole lot better than me". Would you quit labeling yourself self-esteem deprived already? STOP IT!  Even I'm getting so exhausted just thinking about it that what this calls for is a long, relaxing vacation ...mhmmmmm...that's what I'm talking about baby. Just me and my luggage away from you.   LOL...Or if that fails miserably you can order me a nice, tall martini please. Yup, that should do the trick.   
 
K, I'll be totally serious for a moment now. Remember when I said in my 2nd blog that if one chooses to complain about something that he/she must always look at those less fortunate than them and have a constant belief in themselves? Well now I'm telling you to use that message to block all those ugly thoughts you have traveling your way. If that doesn't help, here's a little list I compiled of the top ten NEVERS I think are useful to live by on a day-to-day basis. Please, add on your own "NEVER" to this list. Teach me and many others a new thing or two. 
 
And question:  who said it was a NEVER to say NEVER, huh?  I don't know about you, but it sure works for me.
 
 
1. NEVER  look at the mistakes you've made as regrets. Instead, use those experiences as tools to help you become a person to be proud of.
 
2. NEVER  perceive losses as failures but the push to success.
 
3. NEVER  underestimate your power, potential and positive attributes. Everyone has the capability to rise above if they know what their strengths are and what ways they can improve it.
 
4. NEVER  hide yourself in a closet because you'd rather save yourself the embarrassment of people finding out the "dark truth" about the real you. It's much better to face it head-on so that you grow up to understand that life is not all about preserving a pretend perfect image to the world. I mean think about it. If you're mopping about with trivial thoughts floating in mind, can't you see how that puts an emphasis on the word ME?  Rather than swapping your depressed state with a vibrant one, how are people ever to positively reflect off your behaviour? Yeah, that's right. THEY WON'T. So stop being selfish and realize there's a bigger reality out there than yours. Start thinking of ways you can improve society by doing what you do best. In good time, you will begin to see others around you developing a brighter perception of how you know deep down inside you CAN be.
 
5. NEVER  let something that first seems insanely difficult, new or drastic defeat you. ALWAYS  be glad to rise to the occasion for you never know where it may take you someday.  If you give it your all and you still weren't able to master it, at least you can proudly say you still came out with a winner's attitude.
 
6. NEVER  lash out towards those who have supported you through everything even though you may be feeling 100% disposable. It just makes you look worse than who you are striving to one day be.
 
7. NEVER change anything about yourself if it's something that will FOREVER be a part of you or is already positive (e.g.- height, b-day, genetics, giving spirit, successful athlete, etc.)  These things are a waste of time to fight over so rather than erase these qualities permanently, learn to embrace them by doing whatever it takes to repair your distorted perception. And if you must change something about yourself, as in a negative attribute, than figure out what steps you would need to initiate in order to make that happen for yourself.
 
8. NEVER  let others bring you down.  Don't allow them to tell you you're impossible, incapable, unworthy or unintelligent.  By doing so, you only stoop down to their levels by placing yourself in the sewer they feel themselves in.
 
9. NEVER  let an opportunity pass you by. You don't want to be kicking yourself for not taking advantage of something that you find out years later you could have done successfully.
 
10. NEVER  dismiss being true to you. Do what makes you feel right and not what makes you feel accepted.  Respect from others ONLY develops after respect for yourself evolves.

Thanks for the wonderful comment you just left. I will definitely be starting a new blog topic soon so when you revisit there will be something else for you to enjoy for sure. :)  I just haven't decided what my next topic will be. If you have a suggestion about what I should write about though, I'm totally open to it. Just leave what you think would be another interesting piece of conversation in the guestbook. Thanks Mekala. :)

Elizabeth,
 
Thanks so much for your words of encouragement! I think that's terrific that you've decided to go back to school to empower people's lives. Good for you!! That is not always an easy task. And yes, I'd have to agree. One of my fav quotes to live by on this blog is "Chicks Rule". It's funny yet something we have to keep in mind when we get a little irritated by men...LOL. Until next time...keep up the great work and will be looking forward to you revisiting! :)

Perfect! I love this one. It's one of the reasons I'm going back to school, actually. I want to motivate people, to show them that they are capable of far more than they think they are.  Excellent list!
Oh, yeah...BTW...thanks for dropping in! Anyone who thinks I've got talent (no matter what kind....LOL) is A-OK in my book. ;)  Since turnabout is fair play.... I think you are going to make an awesome journalist.  Your writing style is excellent and your word play is spot on. Great job!  You are well on your way.
Love your quotes to live by.  I think my favs are Chicks Rule (something I'm trying to impart to my girls) and the lemon one. Classic!

Good point!! I like your reasoning behind it too. Even though really true friends who usually last a lifetime are rare to find, they certainly are a solid anchor to turn to when we find ourselves in a life crisis (or whenever we need them most). These are the real ppl to obsess about (not the ones that occasionally put us down). So it's important to acknowlege them for all their worth so they know how very special they are and will always be.

    Well! What a deep blog this is, and so true at that. I like your list of nevers, but I must say that you are forgetting another crucial Never in your list. What about friends! I say Never abandon your true friends, for they are very important not only socially but emotionlly too. Just like your parents they can console you when you are in the gutter, but they are also good for talking about personal issues that they can relate to. I always say that everyone has at least one or two good friends in their life time. They may come later in life but they are definitely keepers once you do find them! I'm sure there are a whole bunch of nervers I can think of, but I think that you touch pretty much the most important (including my never).
     I hope to hear more inspirational blogs from you soon!
