I left off with “Be brave”. I know its easy to say when there is really not a lot to stand up to in life. I am not so naive to think there are not crushing issues people have to deal with. This is about making a choice to look beyond your circumstances. We could compare all day long and always find someone who will trump us in the horrible experience arena.
I am just dabbling in a creative project and hoping that it is helpful to others who can afford to look past their existence.
I am not a perfect person or an expert. I am not a health professional. I am just a woman at a crossroads looking for something more and questioning how to go about getting it. I even question if I should look for more. But I have concluded there has to be more than just clocking in everyday.
I am not giving advice to you. I am just sharing. I am reluctant to give advice. I have done that before and had to live with the consequences for my children. In their desire to please and impress, children will act on advice so fast sometimes that will make your head spin. Caution is always the rule.
I mentioned thoughtful as what I strive to be and hope everyone is. I do not know enough to advise you. I heard long ago that you should never seek advice from anyone who is less successful than you, in your area of interest. Very wise indeed. Applying this would qualify me for some things but conversely also disqualifies me for many things. However, I am an expert at my experiences and what they taught me and you may be able to glean from them, help for yourself.
I am humbled today by the small sampling of blogs I perused. So much talent out there. So much to write about in terms of difficulties overcome or working on.
I bow to all of you. This is just a collection of hopefully helpful inspirations I want to share with those who want help maintaining focus on achieving goals for renewed independence and autonomy using positive reinforcement.That is what I am doing and have been doing for the last year.
I asked myself, “What am I to do with my life now?” I do not want to remain in the status quo. I am not ready to do nothing. Are you? What is retirement? If it looks like doing nothing, then I am out. If it has travel and fun and friends, unlimited resources and not a care in the world, I am in! Pretty sure the second scenario exists for a scant few in today’s world.
When we were young, newly hatched young people, we went out into the world with almost fearless anticipation of what we could accomplish. Our power was limited then because of our inexperience but over time add to those coffers and grow. Eventually we have some power and authority to run our own lives. Everyday obstacles that are overcome add to our power and independence. Prove you are capable and you continue. Now that I think of it, it is not unlike a video game but with real consequences. Some of us build careers. Some of us slog along without ambition to achieve more. Some of us long for a simple existence. We can, and do, chose. It is in the choosing that we may make some decisions that take root and sprout as problems today.
This is to encourage women, who like myself, decided to raise a family, which ultimately led to becoming a stay at home mom. This will also benefit anyone who needs encouragement to change themselves or their lives. Take back your personal power. Reclaim your independence.
Keep that picture with you everyday and draw on it as inspiration.
