Oh, Give Me A Break



My goodness. What is up with people who are always complaining that they can't get a break? Life is too hard. They are always a day late and a dollar short. No one likes them. Blah, blah, blah. Seriously??

Life is too short. Every day we are presented with opportunities to better ourselves, to make changes. We can't rely on others to determine how our life will turn out. Sure, people can provide input, offer suggestions and lend an ear, however, ultimately the choice is ours.

Do you find yourself making comparisons to others, feeling a sense of lack when you don't measure up? The path others have chosen may not be a match for you. You can't tailor your life based on the lives of others. There are too many variables that may be unknown to you. Following the stepping-stones of someone else's life could lead you down the wrong path.

Your path is strewn with many bumps in the roads. What lessons have you learned from past mistakes? What lies are taking up space in your mind and heart that aren't true about your self? Release your self from any limitations that are keeping you imprisoned. You've served your time going through the hardships associated with the trials and tribulations. Acknowledging the good in you will set yourself free of the self-imposed bondage.

Maybe it's time to give yourself a pep talk and acknowledge your strengths. Focus on the positive things in your life. When you focus on what is good and right, you bring new life into your "game". You gain a new perspective; you strengthen your character and you operate on "full steam".

Stop expecting others to give you a break. Let go of your ego. Take control of your life. Utilize your inner power source. Continue to "plug in". Focus on where you want to go and plan how you will get there. Then, sit back and enjoy the journey!
