The Best You!!

You should never deny what your past is because it is what made you who you are today. With out that joy or pain, memories good or bad you would not be you. I am sure a lot of you have situations you wish you could change in your life but no matter what it is you would be different than who you are today.

While not denying you should also not play victim to your past or your present. Yes some things can never be undone or unsaid but your reaction and response to those situations can be changed at any time you decide you are stronger than those events. Some of you may have been victimized or have lost someone very dear and it is extremely painful. But if you allow it to stop you from becoming the best you you can be you are allowing it to continue to hurt you.

I am not saying forget what happened or that it will be easy to say I am over it I am moving on. I am saying you have to fight to make sure it does not stop you from living your life now.

Also, don't compromise who you are to please someone else. You will be miserable and the person you are doing it for couldn't care less what you do. Because if they cared enough in the first place they wouldn't ask you to be anything but the best YOU. True love means that they support you and allow you to be who you are and don't judge that.

Now you may find that certain things in your life have affected you and you are not on the path you want to be on. That is fine. Stop right where you are, look around. What don't you like? What do you like? What would you rather have? You may not have to change the direction you are heading or find a new path. You just may have to change the scenery of the path you are on. Cut down the weeds (negative things in your life), plant new growth (YOUR dreams and goals) and create the path you want to be on, make it YOUR own. Fill it with what makes you happy, what drives and motivates you. Now continue on your path. The process may be painful because you may have to cut down things you thought you enjoyed but now realize they were just holding you back.

YOU are worth it and only YOU can change it. If you need help please contact me, I will be a listening ear and hopefully someone who can help keep you strong as you landscape the path of your dreams. You can do it and deep down you know you can.
