Getting over the hump...

"We do not realize that those who genuinely wish us well want us to be happy and are prepared to accompany us on that journey"
-Paulo Coehlo

So here is the deal...

I have given a lot of lip service to some great ideas without any follow through....

I own that

I realized that I am one of those individuals that thrives on positive reinforcement...

I own that too

When my big ideas are not met with enthusiasm or i when they are immediately met with negativity, I buy into that mindset and become discouraged...

Yep, still owning...

I was sharing some thoughts with a dear friend of mine today; and, after  patiently listening to my rant about relationships(romantic, platonic, familial) with individuals that really are not on "Team Dani" he offered this,

 "you must not be afraid to cut your losses"

As I navigate through, I am learning when you begin to "be about it", and put action to your words...

everyone is not going to be excited to see you actually doing what you have been talking about for so long....

Why?

Because they do not truly understand you

or support you....

in some cases they may not even like you (if you really want to know the truth).

I have entertained the superficial and given too much attention to things that do not add any value to my quality of life;

I have allowed myself to get caught up in the daily minutia and have made several detours on my journey....

Today I learned that those road blocks that force me to make detours must be moved  out of the way,

so that I may continue on my journey to fit the pieces together...

Be Well
