More Good Advice…

Just wanted to share…and this is something I really need to start practicing and not feeling bad about it…

“When a thing has served its purpose, it will go away. Sometimes it will break. At other times, it will simply die off. Then, there are those times when for no reason, it will simply fall apart. If you try to hold on to something that has already fulfilled its purpose in your life, you are going to hurt yourself. If holding on is disturbing your peace of mind, it makes sense to let it go.” – Iyanla Vanzant

Good Advice…

Just wanted to share…and this is something I really need to start practicing…because I really just shut down and/or shut people out…

“Have you ever been so angry with someone that you shut down on them? When you become so angry with a person that you want to shut them out of your life, you need to know that there is something going on with you that has nothing to do with them. At this level anger is a response to your own judgements; the failed satisfaction of your own expectations; your failed attempts to gain control or, your subconscious response to fear. If you want to establish and maintain peaceful relationships with other people, surrender all judgments of who they are and who they are not.” -Iyanla Vanzant

Good Advice…

Just wanted to share…and this is something I really need to start practicing.

“Regardless what you may know, believe or have experienced in the name of love, loving you is an essential ingredient for experiencing and expressing love to others. Loving you means holding yourself with unconditional positive regard. It means giving yourself the time and space to make poor choices and bad decisions, knowing that you are learning and growing through it all. When you love on you, when you trust you, when you honor you, you set the standard for how others will love you.” -Iyanla Vanzant

Motivation

Sigh…I need a little motivation at the moment.  I have a couple of papers due and I have no desire to write them.  When I say no, I really mean…NONE, ZILCH, NADA, ZERO…I don’t know what to do.  I thought take a few days off from work would help my writer’s block, but it hasn’t.  I am just not being productive right now.  And I’m not going to lie, I rather enjoy doing nothing.  Double sigh!  Clearly, I need a little help…

One Year Anniversary

I guess it is time to do a year in review, since I started this blog a little more than a year ago!  Wow, I can’t believe it has been a year already.  I looked back at some of my old posts and realized I am still going through some of the same things that were bothering me in 2009.  Seriously, I need to make some changes.  I do not want to go into my 30′s with these same issues.

On a brighter note…I am very appreciative of all the advice and support I have received throughout this past year, as it has been essential in my growth as a person.  Here’s looking towards more improvement and growth in this upcoming year (since my birthday is coming up)!
