I feel sorry for no one………….
I know that sounds so
heartless but it is true. Hell, I don’t even feel sorry for myself at times
because I realize that despite all of the hardships I encounter, I encounter
those hardships because I allow myself to encounter them. Many times, we neglect
responsibility for our actions. People nowadays feel as though they “deserve”
things, when in actuality you deserve nothing. At the end of the day, every
adult is where they are because of the decisions they DECIDED to make.
I use to feel sorry for
myself………. I use to blame everyone for my problems except myself. I blamed my
current situation on the way in which I was raised, the family’s financial backgrounds,
and also on the others who surrounded me……In a sense, that does affect you when
you are younger, however, once you become an adult that really doesn't matter.
I realized how foolish I was for casting all blame on others instead of looking
for blame within myself.
If I was unhappy, it was because I allowed
myself to be unhappy.
If I felt unloved, it
was because I refused to love my own
self.
If I was constantly losing
jobs because I was running late to work, it was because I needed to correct
myself and figure out a way to get there on time.
LIFE IS NOT AS HARD AS
WE SAY!!! So many times I hear people say they are poor because they don’t have
cable tv. I hear people say that there aren’t any opportunities in this world
for them, when I see opportunity knock constantly on their door and they deny
it access into their life… People are……well.......People are stupid at times.
We say we want to be
surrounded by those who love us, yet we seek the attention of those who do not.
We say we want better
opportunities in life, yet we are too afraid to venture into the unknown.
We say we want more time
to handle the important things in life, yet each morning when we are granted a
new day to live we waste it doing meaningless things instead of what we really
love…..
But why? …………
You know…….. Life is
truly what you make it. And if someone says that they have a horrible life I
really do not feel sorry for them…. Life is what you make it. Whether you make
it a Disney adventure or a slow ride in hell is YOUR CHOICE. Once you become an
adult, you have to start living your life for you. Sure stuff happens! STUFF
HAPPENS TO EVERYONE. But the difference is how you let that STUFF affect you.
So many people wallow in their own grief after a breakup or some other unfortunate
event, and never take the time to look at all the positive around them. When
you look at all the negative things in life, that list of negatives tends to go on
and on. However, when you look at the
positives….that list stops short, but why?
I guess what I’m trying
to say is… Pick yourself back up and stop feeling sorry for yourself…… There
are so many great things in life that you miss out on by having a negative
mind.
Stop worrying about
those who don’t like you.
Stop worrying about those
times that you failed.
Stop worrying about all
of the things that make you unhappy and START LIVING!!
YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY!
We all do………… So we need
to stop letting our minds keep us from that….
At the end of the day,
life is truly what you make it. Your life is a concoction of your expectations,
decisions, and realities. You can decide to add a little bit of sugar to it to
make it sweet, or you can throw in some Tabasco to make it fiery hot…but at the
end of the day… That is your life.
So stop feeling sorry
for yourself… And just live
Have a great day,
Monica Renata
