is what i've been doing since sunday. dc1 gave me this revealing book to read about reprioritizing and values in this world. even though it was written in the eighties, it definitely applies to today's society.
there's honestly no reason to fret and worry about all of the things we don't have control over. my cousin alex said that out of everything, all of the events, we have control of about eight percent. i'm sure i take on about forty-three percent of things in my life. in any case, he said what i can't handle, the simplest answer is to give the rest to Him. it's tough at first, but it soon becomes a way of life.
i'm also working on talking with people who need to know how i really feel. i want to be able to go to bed at night not angry, not carrying burdens, not troubled. i shouldn't be afraid of what i feel, nor should i hole up all of my emotions.
i'm really starting to feel at peace.
i just want to get my bearings, my confidence back, so i can carry out my purpose on this earth.
