Its such a gloomy day today. The clouds are definitely grey. Someone is hurting today. When I go on social media, its disturbing to me the things people say, post, and like.
What will it take to live without apology? Is it death in your family, a sick child, a man or woman walking out of your life? Ask yourself that important question today.
Listen I too have lived a negative life and if I am really honest I too have complained, been argumentative, caused drama, etc. Who hurt during those times? I did. There comes a time when you have to think about what matters. If acceptance from people who change like the wind is important to you, acknowledge it and then know it will never happen.
I’ve had to apologize to people who ad done me wrong, make it right with others or change my attitude on numerous occasions. Stop living for others. You know what’s going to happen you will be changing quicker than a chameleon if you dont. You can literally do what others want and guess what? They will still have an issue with you.
What are you willing to walk away from to help you live the life you want? I had to think about that and I’ve put in place a newness that I won’t let anyone take. Whispers are still going on because people hold their positions about you and don’t forget the past. I know someone reading this can’t get out of the shadows of someonelse right now.
Have you ever seen someone going through cancer or some other life changing sickness and they seem to get stronger even if their body doesn’t? What are they doing differently than you? They don’t have time to worry about the things that won’t or don’t matter. They don’t have the time to worry about other people’s perception of them. They are literally fighting for their life.
You can literally live just like that where you accompish dreams not just state them, where you can live happy or have joy not attached to something outside of yourself, where you can live and smile because that’s all that you have. Think about your situation and regardless of how bleak it looks, there is something to smile about. I know it’s all you can think about, but try it.
Can’t think of anything, think about my friend Leah who is having a double mascetomy. Think of going to bed as a woman with both breast and waking up out of surgery and they aren’t there. Think about as a woman being a mother and your children seeing you struggle for your life and you can’t change it. Think about as a woman having to watch your husband be there and the words to describe how you feel won’t come. There is always someone going through more than you.
What will it take for you to really be okay in your skin with all your flaws? When you ask yourself the question, make an action plan. Realize that true joy is an inside job. People are going through with mental health rising everyday. If you or someone you know is suffering don’t let them suffer in silence. Help them as much as you can. Keep in mind like the airlines tell you on a flight that in case of emergency you have to help yourself first.
What will it take?
I dedicate today’s blog to Leah and her family!!
