Change your clothes, change your hair, change your diet, change your mind, change your wall color, change the channel. You cannot change the fact that you take yourself everywhere.
Our entire life consists of choices. We learn from the bad, and hope to make a better choice next time. They say only "crazy" people make the same choices and expect different results, but I think any one's capable of this.
In making my mind up to move away from everyone and thing I have known, to rewind and restart plans I had mad bad choices for in the past, I have realized that you can make the same decision (and it is a good one) and still get the same result. I was not expecting this. So who's crazy now?
If we take ourselves everywhere we go, how is anything any different?
In the past 3 months I have learned these things about myself:
1. Success is not measured on a piece of gold leaf imprinted paper; success is how you view yourself. Are you happy? Do you enjoy waking up each day and getting your tasks done? Are you enjoying your life as a whole? Can you support yourself? Are you healthy? Do you feel satisfied with what you have? Do you have goals? If so then you are a true success.
2. I do not feel these things right now.
3. Anything you want in life, you can usually buy. Or find a guy to buy it for you. The things that make you a success you can take with you; memories, feelings. Everything else is just stuff.
4. While there are people worse off than myself, all I have to go on are my own experiences. So if I feel pretty bad, then it is bad. It's the kind of bad only I know, and that's OK.
5. You are not a miserable person if you allow yourself to feel whatever emotions you are feeling. You are only miserable if you carry on for days. If you allow yourself to feel, the sooner you can swing back to reality.
