And it’s passing all the time.
I am not a regretful person but I’ve allowed myself to fall prey to certain kinds of indoctrination that, when you really look at them, do not help.
Regret is pointless – you can’t change the past.
Learning from bad behaviour – that’s where the treasure lies!
Piece of advice (it’s not an advice people!) – start saying No more.
Other people will behave the way they do, inevitable. It doesn’t mean you have to agree with it or go along with it. Define boundaries.
Therapy, yes or no? I’d say mostly no. I’m really starting to understand how self-indulgent and laborious therapy is, it keeps you trapped. Whenever I hear someone has been in therapy for years, I think that person is simply too scared to get out into the real world and get the fuck on with things.
More and more people seem to be looking for an externalised source of ‘permission’ to live their lives. Are you one of them? The truth is, 99% of the time you know what you think/feel, you know what to do about it but you need some reassurance – give yourself permission, stand up for yourself.
Any amount of therapy will just give you answers for things you can’t it.
Again, time’s passing.
Do you want to think about your life or do you want to live it?
Why live in resentment of other peoples’ success, go out and do something – make a contribution, no matter how big or small.
How?
I will say it again, do the things you love. Just allow yourself to enjoy what you do as much as you can and, believe me, you’ll fall into your natural groove, you’ll gain confidence, you’ll give less of a fuck and you’ll leave room for the blessings the Universe has in store for You.
