taking responsibility

Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the

hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing.

Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel—and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good.

Abraham Hicks

I'm going to take my own advice right now and just start writing and see where I end up.  It's amazing how much I have struggled with writing.  I have been so critical of myself and I let that stop me.  Writing has always been an outlet for me to see where I am and to work out whats going in my head.  Ive had a growing spurt.  Ive experienced a very difficult loss.  My bubby boy, Boscoe who's been with me for the last 14 years was put down a few weeks ago.  He was the glue for me that kept me balanced.  It's amazing how much I am learning about myself just experiencing the loss of him.  I became a better person having raised him. 

So here I am, in school full time, letting go of my computer business and ready to embrace this next chapter.  I see myself writing more.  I see myself coaching people to find their passion.  It lights me up to think about it.  That's what I'm passionate about, helping you find your passion.  

It's so easy to get caught up.  It's so easy to forget.  We don't need to struggle.  We don't need to find fault in everything and everyone and most of all we can stop making ourselves wrong for not being where we think we should be.  We are exactly where we are supposed to be.  We don't need to figure anything out.  Freedom happens the moment I can release the expectations that I have on myself.

Today I am grateful for the ability to start again.  We can all begin again.  Today, begin again, don't look back.  Start with what you have and with where you are.
