Life Change: giving up

Have you ever thought of giving up on life? No I don’t really mean

suicide. I don’t mean giving up totally, what I mean is giving up and just letting life happen instead of working at it. I think we all go through those times. Life just gets too much, or it isn’t happening the way you wanted. You feel like it would be easier to just give up; and it would.

The problem for me giving up is then they win. Who are they? Well, I think they change for each person. For me it might just be life in general. I don’t know who they are for you. It might be parents or siblings. It is probably someone who is close to you, someone who it is important for you to impress. The questions to you, and to myself, is, is it more important to impress someone else, or yourself?

What is it you want to do? What is it you want to accomplish more than anything else? Maybe it is a career goal, or maybe something in your personal life, lose wight or visit a different country. Whatever it is, name that thing out loud right now. Do you hear your words? I just did it as I wrote it and I have to tell you that what I named is what I want. I felt good saying it out loud. Did you?

I suggest you name out loud what you want morning and night. Just say the thing out loud so you can hear it with your own ears and anyone around you can hear it to. If they want to know what you are doing tell them you are impressing the person closest to you. You and I will know who that really is.

Here’s to You!
