Taking a quote that I've heard before, but someone pointed out to me again tonight, that goes "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." To this I say, NO MORE! I am going to let go of all the negative in my life and choose to live life on a positive note. Sure, there will be things that get me down from time to time, but I have the power to choose how events affect me and affect my life. It is MY choice to be happy, MY choice to project that happiness onto others, and MY choice not to let negativity in MY life. I have goals, that I plan to attain, and I have one goal in mind in the short term. I want to make positive changes in my life so that I can be happy, and be a father that my two sons can look up to. I've always tried to blame the fact that my own father was not around when I needed him most as a reason for the way I act, only taking care of myself and not worrying about others. This is the reason that I have two failed relationships with two children that I hardly see anymore. I say NO MORE to that as well....I have a choice to make....keep blaming the past and others as the reason I can't be happy, or to let go of the past, and pave a new path in which happiness is my ultimate goal.... If all a man has is his word, then this is what I say today, and with that you have my word. I will make every attempt to not be negative from this day forward. NO MORE!
I'm going to make it a personal mission of mine to change the way I view relationships in general. Not just relationships with women, but relationships with friends and family as well. I've never been close to a lot of my family, and although I don't regret that, it is something I could have done differently in life. I choose today to lead healthy relationships in all aspects of my life, and make as many new friends as possible. You can never have too many friends, but I'd rather have a few very close friends than a million acquaintances.
So I guess this is where I close....I will try to update my progress on my mission to lead an emotionally healthy life and create lasting bonds with new people as well as strengthen existing bonds....I'd like to close with a quote though....because I believe friendship is a key to a healthy life.
"A Friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of Nature."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
