Changing Our Lives

 First of all we must love ourselves however we must realize that we can change things in our lives as well. None of us is perfect by any means.

I am not talking about our personality because that is the best part of us. In some cases we may have to tone things down but in general personality keeps us going. I am one that enjoys talking a lot and telling jokes however I have realized over the years that I don’t have to talk much as I have and to listen to others. For some people they may have to learn to talk a lit bit more. I am speaking to those who primary are very shy. Let you know that you do have something to share and offer to other people. I know that I certainly could hear from you.

I have to say that most areas in our lives that can change come from our past. We all have hurts and insecurities that we still have to overcome even after many years. The key is to figure out what they are and be willing to change. As we all know is that change is not easy for most of us however we have to decide to do so. You see we will be better and happier people. I have mentioned before that being happy is a choice and the same thing goes for change. We must decide we are going to change and make the steps necessary to do so. At the same time continue to love ourselves in the process.

An area I feel that we need to change the most is our hearts. The Presidential Election in the United States has shown me that. We have two primary candidates that most people don’t really want to be President however they willing to go vote for one of them. I decided to do a write-in candidate and I know that many will say that my vote doesn’t count for anything and they may truly be right however on the other hand if people really voted for whomever they truly wanted then the race may look a bit different. I had someone on social media say that I sold out for voting a candidate that doesn’t have a chance to win. I can understand what they are saying and I am sure many of you reading this post may feel the same way. I could come back on that individual saying they sold out by voting for someone who they really don’t want to be President. The whole thing I have heard over and over again “lesser of two evil”. I heard another person with the good point is that they are still both evil.

So my point here is that we need to change our hearts. Where our hearts are at right now is not in a good place. I know some will say I have a good heart. If so then you are in a better place than a lot of people. Certainly a better place than mine; I am not saying that I have a really bad heart but there is a place of improvement.

So recognize the places that you know that can be changed and go for it. I look forward to the future where I can share where my changes have happened. Currently I am dieting hoping to lose some need weight. The goal is to lose four to eight pounds a month over the next year and then maintain the weight. So for the month of October I have lost five pounds so I am right on my goal. What I have done is eating lesser portions along with different choices of food. I look forward to making other changes in my life too. I hope you are looking to making changes in your life too. The best of luck and keep on loving yourself.
