I recently read this book: Self Matters
• You can’t undo the past, but you can control it. Some people are frozen in the injuries, insults, and lost opportunities of the past while life passes them by. You have way too much going for you to do that. Instead, examine your past, learn the lessons, chart out a bright future, and start moving toward it with confidence.
• The easy way isn’t.
(THAT IS WORTH REPEATING)
It can seem easier to keep going in a bad relationship instead of doing what it takes to make that relationship great. It can seem easier to stay in a dead-end job instead of doing what it takes to improve your skills and better your position. But in reality, both of these choices are much harder—and frustrating—
in the long run. Doing the hard work to construct the life you want is always easier and more satisfying in the long run!
We do things because they seem to work for us at the moment. We don’t like to take huge risks, or try to make a change. We don’t rock the boat. We hold on to what is familiar to us. It is simply “easier” to stay in a bad relationship because it is “harder” to get to know someone new all over again.
It is easier to stay stuck in the job you have now, even if you’re authentic self is dying inside. You sit and stay where you are because of your fear of the unknown.
In my humble opinion, if you don’t want change; if you don’t want better; if you don’t want to improve your circumstances, do the rest of us a favor and don’t complain that you work too hard, that life has dealt you a bad deck and that the world is out to get you. The next time you wish to share your misery, please record yourself and PLAYBACK. Make sure to hit rewind and play… and better yet, make sure that the speakers are up and loud. Now, if you feel that you have depressed yourself enough – don’t share the poison, keep it to yourself.
