9月2日 Never say never, huh? Well...think againLet'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 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. 评论 (16)
