The sun sets on another day…
Sunset? Yes, it was there high above, but the clouds obscured the view, or did they? The sky was painted as though with cotton puffs dipped in greys, making the landscape seem surreal and stunning.
I’ve been thinking. It’s a dangerous pastime, I know. Perhaps that’s all I need to say is I know. It’s not that I know anything, or everything, but more that I know nothing and want to know more every day. When it comes to me though, i am the only one who knows.
Why is that always so hard to believe? So many people are ready to accept the opinion of someone else about themselves, but only they know for sure. So many people look for validation in the world, but it is only available in themselves. So many people want to be accepted, but they have a hard time accepting themselves. It is a series of difficult statements, follow me through them.
No one needs to validate you in the world. You believe in you, and everything will be OK. There will be those that know you that truly believe in you, and there will be those that don’t. It’s not really rocket science; it is just that the first step to believing in yourself is eliminating the need for validation from anyone else. If you look in the mirror, you are who you want to be. You should be stunning, but it is your choice. If you look at what you do in life, you are where you want to be. Everything is based on you but in reality, you are amazing because you can decide you are amazing.
I know a lot of people that try to be accepted for something they are not; this is not very good. I accept you here and now for who you are here and now. All I ask is that you should accept yourself for who you are. If you don’t, perhaps it’s time to change. Perhaps it’s time to look at the world a little bit differently and make the change that you want, not for anyone else but you.
As far as what you do, as long as it doesn’t hurt other people, it’s great. If you like it that’s amazing, if you don’t, look for ways to change. Change can be tough, but I know you can do it. You can be anything you want, and you can do anything that you want.
The world begins with you. Let me say that again in a different way, your world begins with you. No one else truly has the power to take over your control of your world. No matter how good or bad your situation is you controlled the outcome until you let go of that control. If you have let control, go to someone else, maybe it’s time to consider taking it back. Perhaps it’s time for you to make decisions and decide who you are, who you want to be, and who you will be remembered as. I believe in you.
So as the sun sets on another day, I would love to talk about this in person with people who are passionate about life. I know that this is a little bit controversial, but I believe that we all have the ability to define ourselves. Not just for a moment or a day, we can control ourselves always by controlling our knowledge of ourselves. Find the way to believe in yourself. Find the way to be happy with yourself. Find the way to exceed your own expectations. Mostly, find your way every day to the best day that it can be, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and believe in yourself…
