My New High...

Sep 22, 2008

Since I was in high school, I've been trying to distinguish what makes me happy.  A month ago, we did a lesson at church and the first question was, what brings you joy.  I pondered and pondered, couldn't figure it out.  Of course I wanted to say my daughter or husband, but neither brings me unspeakable joy.  I'm just being honest.  So a friend asks, is it my career; more than anything else, but still not unspeakable joy. 
So, I came to a conclustion...I don't know myself enough; I need to make me happy and love myself first before I can even allow someone/something to give me the joy/happiness that I seek. 
Thus, I am my new high...for years, it's been about pleasing others and putting them before me (career and personal) that I've lost sight of myself... oh but now...IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!!!

The Company You Keep

It Is Better To Be Alone Than In The Wrong Company

Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are.
If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl.

But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great
heights.
A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by
the kind of friends he chooses.
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom
you closely associate for the good and the bad.
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.

Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.

An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with
negative thinking and negative acting people.
As you grow, your associates will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on.
They will want you to stay where they are.
Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl.
Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream.
Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider This:
Never receive counsel from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing
to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are
always first to tell you how.
Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.
You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange
ideas with the wrong person.
Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road
of life.
Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right
friendships.

In that time I had a baby (she's lovely!)
Everyday I think to myself, was the surgery what I expected.  I haven't reached my goal yet and it's been hard to stay on the road.  I've detoured a lot (a lot, a lot).  I honestly feel like I can't do it.  I feel like giving up.  I don't have the support that I need and it feels useless.

I know that all sounded negative, but that's how I'm feeling right now. 
I feel like a different person.  I just want to be me without any responsibilities or anyone to hold me accountable.
