Identify the things that are messed up, and change them! That's also something I'm trying to do more of in my life. It's a cliche, but you really do make your own reality! So much of what is great, and horrible in life is based on perspective. Finding the silver lining can make all the difference.. (this sounds like a zodiac reading. lol)
I really believe in taking responsibility for your own life, and how you act in situations. The cool thing about doing this is your success and your failures are your own! And even if you fail more than you succeed, it's a great feeling. It's easy to look at life and say "Those are the cards I've been dealt" and relinquish control to fate, or blame the situation. But I think the reason most people do that is to make it so it's not their fault how things turn out!
I'm honestly tired of coddling people who view life this way. It's fine if you want to give up power in your life, but when that impacts me, that's when things have to be resolved. And the bad side about this way of thinking is you don't let what others do effect you. Like if someone does something effed up, and it negatively effects me, I rarely blame that person, and instead look at what I did or didn't do. Which let's that other person skate away blame free.
So I'm resolving myself to continue to take responsibility for my life, but also to hold people to certain standards when it impacts me.

Don't stop ranting. Yeah, I agree you always need to look at yourself. But you should hold people to the same standards you hold yourself to. I notice that most people who are self-absorbed or whatever, seem to hold others to a higher standard, while they can act however they want!
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more! I think they have to preserve the little "me first" world they've created in their heads.
