Single Mom Striking Out

You don't have to be anything but yourself. I know this to be true because I was formerly an entertainer and as an entertainer, one would have bend forward, backwards, sideways and under just to please the audience. It will take a toll on you if you allow other people to usurp your power to be just you.  I spent a large number of years trying to prove to others  that I was capable of things and that I was worth much more than they gave me credit for. I have never felt so alone and given-up-on in my life. Those years forced me to be stronger, become more aware of what I am made of and the kind of power I have inside of me that I wasn't making use of. I cared so much about what others thought about me that I forgot to like myself. I abandoned the idea of taking care of myself, and instead started proving to others what I am made of.  Don't. Forget it. If they don't see it in you, see it for yourself. Enjoy your own company and love whatever mistakes and flaws...

If you believe you control everything, you are putting yourself in danger of exhaustion. You will lose control of some things in life. And if you continue to believe and have a positive perspective, you prosper. I needed to remind myself to look at each task, one at a time and stop thinking about everything as a means to an end. That's life. You only need to handle the little piece of life that the Universe handed you. I don't need to be Super Human and control everything in front of me because not everything in front of me is within my control and it is not my business to meddle with it. In fact, even when you are in control of something, there will come a time when the Universe decides that you are done with it and you have to move on to the next thing the Universe hands you. One thing at a time will soon come together, like pieces of a puzzle.
