Sabotage

I always find it interesting that when we reflect on the things of the past; its like this giant light bulb moment. We realize the people that we trust sometimes need to earn that right. Just because they're your family doesn't mean that they get a free pass.

It's only after we review their behavior that we realize that they aren't people to be blindly trusted. That the moments that we worked so hard for are tainted by their actions. Sometimes these are moments in our life that we can't just shrug off and get back.

They might be moments that we traditionally memorialize with pictures. Once those picture moments are gone they can't be reclaimed. Just like we need to weed our life of friends and acquaintances; sometimes we need to weed them of family members that are destructive to our accomplishments.

Once we become rid of the sabotage to our lives, it's quite amazing what we can accomplish and that we start to believe more in ourselves with out others doubts crowding into our shining moments. We begin to fly and trust in our own successes; this is not ego but self-esteem and confidence.

When you become self-confident, you want to help others try to fly. You do not view others with suspicion. You cheer others victories! There is none of the petty jealousy to taint those precious moments of pride!

Success

Have you ever thought what makes you feel successful? Is it the stuff or your accomplishments? For everyone the answer will be different. Sometimes it's reaching a certain dollar amount for income. It all depends on where we came from.

Our past in some ways does guide us to our present or future. It gets interesting when we stop chasing it or competing for it. When does that illuminating moment come? In you twenties, thirties, forties, or older or never?

When do you stop needing others approval to live your life the way you want too? When do you start to feel like a grown up? I do know that when you march to you own drum. You do start to get more inner peace.

You some how give yourself permission to be okay with yourself. Because you are you! Otherwise you could be chasing fictional characters and measurements for an eternity.
