Are Things Not Where You Want Them?

Sometimes life has a way of changing the plans that we have. It can seem hard and overwhelming because we have are heart set on one thing. That one thing is all we have wanted. But remember that sometimes there is something better something bigger for us. We cannot always see it but there is always something out there that will be better for us.

Three years ago I wanted to be a social worker. I was in the process of getting my degree. I was a junior and was beginning to look at graduate programs. I was told that I was not cutting it in the program. Devastated I began to look at what other programs at my college I could switch too. I found at that point that I had a bigger passion for another field. I found a program that I was happier and more free in. I found a new path for life. Had I not gone through this situation I would not see that there is something better out there for me.

Realize that there are better things. It may take time to see what is going to be better for us but it will come. We do not always see it but it will come.

Be Happy

Sometimes we get ourselves lost in what we are doing and we forget to be happy. While it is hard to find time to do what we love and what makes us happy, we need to remember to do what makes us happy. We need to find the time to have fun and to be happy.

Tell Yourself You are AMAZING

I spoke yesterday that it is important to tell yourself that you are whatever positive characteristic that others have told you. Well I saw this picture and I thought it would be a great reinforcement. 

Who am I?

Often times we go through life without knowing who we are. Often we go through life wondering what others see in us. Often we are going through life and thinking that what others see in us is not true. Though it is. We have to learn to see what others see in us. Knowing what others see in us can be a big help in our self identity. 

It is hard to identify with what others see in you. One of the best things that I found to help me with realizing and identifying with what others see in me is to say it to myself or write it out and put it up around my apartment. I have gotten to where I write in my journal with what and who I am so that I can start to identify with it. I also tell it to myself too. 

If people see you as loving, caring, happy, energetic, or smart, or something else tell yourself this. Believe it or not it can also help you to change your mood if you tell yourself these things. Often when I am upset or when I feel that I don't matter I will focus one aspect one characteristic
and tell myself it over and over. Maybe I will find why I am loved and I will say that with the reasons or I will focus on being smart. Honestly just take it one characteristic at a time. 

Slowly doing this you will learn who you are too others.
