Your own happiness.
(Notice: Before anyone tries to "wear the shoe" just so they can call or leave a verbal attack/response... this doesn't apply to anyone in particular, this is just good ol' common sense. With that said; however, if you are "trying it on" it must fit. Why else would you try it on?)
You are responsible for your own happiness,and only you. yes, others are able to make you smile and perhaps even happy, but you cannot sit around waiting for that to happen. You may be sitting on the bench for a long time, if not for the rest of your life.
Nothing is holding you back but your own excuses, regardless how petty, asinine, or accurate you may think they are. There is no excuse for not trying your best or reaching for something desirable but you feel is unachievable. Unless you can say you have actually tried, and I mean really went great difficulty and sacrifice to try and get it...you haven't.
Life isn't supposed to be easy, the best things in life are hard earned, not handed to you on a silver platter.
Taking the easy path in life just to get by is endless and in my opinion a cowards retreat from responsibility. Those who know what they want and get it no matter how difficult the bumps and turns may be are to be respected. Not ridiculed and viewed as show off or villains. They saw something they wanted and achieved it, how can anyone view that as selfish?
I am a mother full time, I am a student three days a week, I work three days a week (and am on call for evenings), I have one full day with my family, to get things done around the house, and projects. I share a loan on two cars, a house, my student loan and my husbands, along with a house under construction for remodeling and a credit card debt of some thousand or two dollars.
I see my family and friends in Canada once a year, I see my family here in the States just as little. While my heart aches, this sacrifice is worth seeing through so I can change that.
I will finish school for Massage Therapy, I will not use my child(ren) as a clutch/excuse to not achieve that goal; I will NEVER use them as bargaining tool to get my way or punish them for enjoying what little time they may have with family members.
I will not be selfish, I am not the only person who matters.
The world... does not revolve around me.
At the end of the day, what matters to you most? Family is more than flesh and bone. While love is unconditional, respect is not.
At the end of the day, I can say what I want, is what I will get.
