repost from my private journal
From an entry I wrote I little while ago.
Came across this today,
“Know that just because things are difficult now doesn’t mean they will be like this forever.
Recognize that every uncomfortable situation and painful experience has something to teach you.

And it made me pause and think, “what is my current situation teaching me lately?” Because I do still consider my situation to be ‘not that good’ with a side of ‘could be better.’ Today, this past week in fact, I have actually be doing better. I’ve had some motivation and have been using it to clean out and re-organize the bookshelf in the 3rd bedroom, my book shelf, and now part of my desk and night stand! (Yay productivity!) I’m actually really proud of myself for starting this good sized project and finally doing it. I’ve wanted to clean out things for a while but keep putting it off for reasons. Now I’m making progress! The dusts sucks and aggravates my throat and allergies/asthma but Dad suggested wearing one of the masks I used to use to cut the grass and that seems to help a bit. Tonight I also told Mom I should try to start using my Neti Pot more maybe. That will help clean out my nose and wash out some of the dust.
Anyway, back to what I’m being taught. Here is what I am coming up with so far. In only like 5-10mins of thought:
o How to rely on other people. To allow myself to reach out and accept their support.
o How to reach out and ask for help first off.
o How strong my inner will is. I have to be the one who wants to change. Wants to improve. Wants to better my health mentally and physically. Me and no one else. And it takes a lot of strength to do.
o Communicating
o My wants
o My feelings
o My thoughts
o It’s okay to not be perfect.
o That life isn’t a race or a competition. It’s a personal journey. Mine and no one else’s. I can take all the advice I want but no one can walk the path for me.
