so i have FAILED my negativity challenge.. URGH.. i will have to pick it up again. It's just way to easy to make snide comments.. and watching Jersey Shore definately didn't help.. goodness I am a mess.. haha well here is till next time.. i can't believe i couldn't even do it for a week..
Sometime I wish people would learn not to underestimate me. When I want to get somewhere or get something accomplished I am very capable of doing so. Of course there are always limitations and set backs but I know how to push through it. I lived in a time where our money was tight and we had very little but we made it through.. Just because I am where I am today and don't look like i have ever had to fight my way out of the bottom doesn't mean anything. Looks can and are deceiving. Of course I don't believe in telling what most would call a "sob" story. I am not one who looks for a pity party.. But please know that I do know what it is like to go without in many aspects. I embrace that time in my life and it has taught me to be thankful of what I have. I will never forget it but I also will never return. Was it by choice and my own doing?? Of course not, who chooses to go without? Being born into it is one thing.. but staying in it is another. We all make decision...
Negativity is a hard thing to break, girl. Don't be too hard on yourself. Just that fact that you're making an effort to change is awesome. Look at is as a minor set back, eh?
ReplyDeleteIf this whole thing were easy, we'd all be bubbling with positivity... well... some people like being negative :P But, *more* people would be positive ALL THE TIME... and they aren't.
Positivity is a state of mind. Slipping up doesn't mean you aren't positive. I know, it was part of the 'challenge'. But, seeing this as a failure... nah :) Keep it up! It'll get easier and easier ^_^ ... and we'll all be a bit negative from time to time )))
