lo_lo Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Through many mistakes and struggles i have learned to appreciate myself and also others. I think about it like this, i think that mistakes have to happen in order for someone to realize what they've done wrong and just learn from it and better themselves. My friends often categorize me as the individual with low self esteem, pushover, scared of facing any fears, irresponsible ( in some things) too sympathetic, and so on. Before i would really care about what others thought and what not but honestly at this point im really aware of who i am and what i want in my life. I'm not really the type of person thats going to run out there and tell the whole world what i want to do. Maybe i'll ask for some advice but i try not to do that anymore because sometimes it's better just to ask yourself what really is best. And thats when i thought about my life in general. What do i need to do to make it more "comfortable" for my self? Im doing my best to better myself not to get all sad and depressed about **** that happens in life. I am a strong girl and im figuring out what exactly had brought me down before. It's not like im giving up and losing hope. But sometimes other people dont think so! I dont think my life is about proving to others my abilities or my strength. Because in the end the one that is going to be rewarded is myself not the world. Is that so wrong??.....
Cheshire Cat Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Through many mistakes and struggles i have learned to appreciate myself and also others. I think about it like this, i think that mistakes have to happen in order for someone to realize what they've done wrong and just learn from it and better themselves. It's a really positive attitude. Sometimes you just know what is the best thing to do, sometimes you can learn looking at other people's mistakes, sometimes you have to experience first hand and learn from your own mistakes. My friends often categorize me as the individual with low self esteem, pushover, scared of facing any fears, irresponsible ( in some things) too sympathetic, and so on. Do you think they have a point? If they are real friends, perhaps it is worth listening to them - they might be trying to make you aware of your unpleasant traits. Maybe i'll ask for some advice but i try not to do that anymore because sometimes it's better just to ask yourself what really is best. There's nothing wrong with asking for advice - you don't have to follow it, sometimes it can be useful to get a different point of view. Im doing my best to better myself not to get all sad and depressed about **** that happens in life. I am a strong girl and im figuring out what exactly had brought me down before. It's not like im giving up and losing hope. This is great. I dont think my life is about proving to others my abilities or my strength. Because in the end the one that is going to be rewarded is myself not the world. You don't have to prove yourself to others - once you are happy with yourself, and you have a fulfilling life, other people will notice. Yet people's opinions about you are often worth listening - expecially if they come from people people that are close to you. It's up to you to give them importance, try to understand if they are valid, or dismiss them. I don't know you or your friends, so I don't know if their idea about you is realistic, wrong or halfway between. Anyway, their opinion will tell you a lot. Either about you, or about them.
loveinlife Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I believe you are doing an awesome job. I feel that I am on the same route at the moment. Needing to improve and forgiving my self for the wrongs or mistakes that I did. I just got tired of not letting myself become who I truely am. I want to be me. Good luck Lo Lo, those are very positive thinking you have going on. Best wishes!
