Instilling positivity & kindness

I just saw this & thought what a great post to share with my son!  These questions make you think & wanting him to think about others feelings, not just his own, I think this helps to get that conversation started & gets you thinking of ways to do just that!  Take the focus off ourselves & put it onto others.   It's actually a great reminder for us adults too!

It does feel good to let go...

Sad too b/c it's like I have given up on what he made it sound like we would be.  I have to remember that it wasn't going to be that, ever.  It couldn't be...he hadn't been the kind of man I need for quite some time.  I have to remember too that you can't change a person. I thougth though that I would be enough that he would want to change for me, but that can't happen either.  Not if that person doesn't really want the change for themself.  You have to want it to make it happen!  You're not going to do the work or put forth the effort if you don't really want it! 

So, in the end letting go was the only thing I could do b/c it was weighing me down.  The negativity that he had and projected out in every way, it was too much for me to bear.  It was bringing me down and that's not fair to me for such the happy and light perosn I've always been and definitely not fair to my son.  So, while I'm sad in some ways to have said goodbye, it's a door I should have left closed for both our sakes and this time it is closed for good.  Good luck and may you find the light and love that you so need in your life.  I will get mine back and keep on moving forward.  Each day the wounds heal a little more.

When I just saw this on FB, it was perfect for how it's felt for me to let go of this relationship and the negativity put off by my ex boyfriend that was seeping into me.

 

Oftentimes letting go has nothing to do with weakness, and everything to do with strength. We let go and walk away not because we want the universe to realize our worth, but because we finally realize our own worth. -

When one door closes...

Focus on the present, not yesterday or tomorrow. As Helen Keller once said, “When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us."

7 Lovely Logics

Forget the past. Forget your age. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. At the end of it, let there be no excuses, no explanations, and no regrets. - from our book http://www.marcandangel.com/book/

No one walks in your shoes

On Facebook this morning and this post just came up from Marc and Angel Hack Life - Practical Tips for Productive Living:

Live by choice, not by chance. Make changes, not excuses. Be motivated, not manipulated. Work to excel, not compete. Choose to listen to your inner voice, not the jumbled opinions of everyone else. It’s your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. – from our book: http://www.marcandangel.com/book/

 

They always have the say the best things! People judge what others do so often and what I've learned over the past two and a half years - YOU CAN'T JUDGE PEOPLE.  Seriously, you have NO IDEA what it's like behind closed doors, what goes on in another person's head and their thought process.  There are just too many variables that no one on the outside knows about.  I've judged myself and learned that it was not my place.
