You read my mind, Pearl. This is exactly how I am feeling right now. Had somewhat of a revelation in May and have been trying my hardest to make changes and get me where I need to be. Have spent some time pedalling backwards since then, but I am still pushing forward.
The truth of life is that until you love yourself, you will make it impossible for anyone else to love you. Well............that's my truth anyway. lol
It took me 34 years to figure it out. lol I finally came up with a game plan tho. Just have to stick to it and not let anything or anyone make me stray from it. In the long run it will make for a better friend, person, lover etc.
These threads are great cuz it just confirms that there are others in your boat and you aren't just rowing it alone. Thanks!
The analogy I use is that of a car engine. I can be tuned up a bit, but there's no way I'm going in for a major overhaul. This vehicle has too many miles on it.
when whatever a person is doing becomes to painful.....then change comes......one has to step out of the comfort zone to change......scary stuff for some of us to do......
I try to change something about myself when I feel I cannot achieve some goal or even keep going unless I do change/adjust a particular aspect. (Adaptation for survival, like any animal really... LOL) Also some people in my life (some of my teachers, for one thing) have been great inspiration and motivated me to change just by being what they are, and I hope to meet more people like this in my life...
I suppose when one gets tired of the same old outcomes and figures out that if you want things to turn out differently...You have to do things differently!!!!!!!!
