thewingwoman Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Okay, so I got pretty insightful a while back (so I wrote the first 5 at home, and the last 5 on a bar napkin)… And I have analyzed my life and the way I live and have come up with a few commandments of my own to live by. They've helped me cope with the breakup I've been dealing with since December, and whenever I feel upset, I reread them. Figured I’d share, and I even elaborated on them to reduce confusion as to why I chose to make it a commandment. 1. Thou shalt further train thy mind, body, and spirit. – I am the only one who can make me better. 2. Thou shalt not go looking for men. – I am worth being found. 3. Thou shalt not make a priority out of an option until they prove worthy. – I deserve to be more than just a back-up plan. 4. Thou shalt not settle. – Everything I want and deserve is out there, I just have to be patient and I’ll eventually find it all. 5. Thou shalt not chase anyone that would not be willing to chase back. – I shouldn’t waste time on people that do not deserve my attention. 6. Thou shalt not succumb to lust initially. – I must give feelings time to develop before giving myself to someone fully. 7. Thou shalt enjoy the moment and not fear the future. – Instead of worrying what the future holds, I need to enjoy the now. 8. Thou shalt not seek recognition from others, but find it within thy self. – I am the only one that can judge me. 9. Thou shalt not expect lust to become love, or for love to include lust. – I cannot make something into something it’s not meant to be. 10. Thou shalt seek self-pleasure instead of relying upon others. – No man can ever give me the pleasure I can bestow upon myself. (Thanks Energizer. What, you didn’t think I could be 100% serious for the whole 10 did you?)
