Choices
There are a lot of changes taking place in my life lately. Some amazing things have just happened, more are about to happen, and even more that I don't know of yet are to come.
I am finally realizing how much control I have over my own life. And the more control I have over my own, the less I feel the need to control other people and circumstances.
I used to get so upset when I had to make a choice. I resented the idea of it. Now I'm realizing the results of my choices, and because I'm starting to make choices that are right for me, as opposed to what others want, I am feeling much more appreciative of the results, rather than resentful.
When I set aside time for myself, my mistake in the past has been to "stand myself up" and blow off the time I needed for me and do something someone else wanted me to do. When others didn't follow suit, I became resentful, and even thought it was an indication of their lack of care. This put me in a victimized stance, and also gave no opportunity for others to redeem themselves. But I am learning from my actions. It is a process, one which I am learning to love.
Things I've learned recently:
I can't always help people, even when they want my help.
My mom is a really cool Person
I'm not as angry of a person as I once thought myself to be
I have amazing willpower
People who hurt me don't intentionally cause me pain
The choices I made a year ago have shaped my life today
My sister is a superhero
I love who I am
I'm thankful more and more every day for being a massage therapist, and for all of the people I've helped through massage
There's no better happiness than seeing people I love smile
True love is loving someone where they are right now.
I can only live in one moment at a time. Might as well.
I hope everyone has a happy holiday, and I hope that the new year brings you all that you need and want. You deserve the best.
Love,
Kathryn
