I CARE enough to tell ME NO~

 One of the biggest fears in MY life was disappointing people. I had a hard time telling others No and I went above and beyond to see others smile. All the while, I was losing ME and forgetting that I existed.

Like a load of bricks, it hit me one day," Chile stop". If I wasn't happy in the process, what was the purpose.  When we do things and we do them from the heart we find joy and it's peaceful. However, when it's done just to be done, there's no real fulfillment.

Wisdom and age has taught/is teaching me to make me a priority(MY life & Respecting MY decisions). I know it's easier said than done and sometimes it's a battle but the only way to do it is IF I care for me.

I have been surrounded by a number of different people while living here in the South. Many people have the Southern way of living confused with being small time. Yes, it's true it's not as fast but when you adjust your mindset and your way of living, you soon learn it's what you make of it.. In the process of my relocating, I realized in order for me to become better for my daughter, I had to become better for Me. In order to receive what's been set a side for me, I had to care enough for me. And in order to care for me, I had to discontinue some of the things I was doing. It's a proven fact that sometimes, what we think is so good for us is the most detrimental. It tears us from the inside and works it way out. And before you know it, you're sitting around looking like Miss Celie, somewhere rocking to death (I digress).. Sitting in jail( your detrimented mindset) about done rocked to death.

When you learn to care for YOU:
You will stop:
Blaming others
Seeking attention
and Embrace YOU~

None of us live perfectly but all of us can live in our own personally harmony.

Today, find time to look inside of you:
like.U
love.U
be excited 4. U

Care enough for you to say No and make those changes when and where necessary.
Signed,
She Cares
