An Interesting Concept

As a few of you know I work with Market America, running my own business and all that jazz. We have a really large training program which spans from in person training, online training, phone conferences, etc, etc, etc. So I was watching a YouTube clip of my friend and as the video went on, more people were introduced. A woman named Tami Gaines started to speak and she brought up an interested concept that really has me thinking about the way I have treated myself and the way I treat myself now. If people treated strangers on the street the way they treated themselves, they would get punched in the face. There are so few people out there that treat other people they way they would want to be treated, but on top of that they do not treat themselves they way they should be treated. Why are we all so hard on ourselves and treat ourselves so terribly? We are the only person we have to live for. Why would you treat yourself so poorly? We put ourselves down, tell ourselves we can't, and take away any faith we might possibly have in anything. We are so quick to tear ourselves down and I just cannot figure out why. I used to be the type of person who did this and one day I just decided I would be happy. I know that sounds like something a psychotic person would say. I know I'm a little crazy, but it is really a mind set. We all have bad days, there will always be something wrong, there will also be things that you cannot control. All of these bad things are not going to change overnight so what is the point of worrying about them?  You are not going to make enough money to pay off your bills overnight. You won't lose all that weight in one day. Things are not going to come like magic (unless you are rich...and if you are reading my blog you are most likely not. no offence) You need to work towards these types of things slowly, so why would you concern yourself with it every single day of your life. If you just had fun for the majority of your life then half the garbage you concern yourself with daily won't even matter! If there is nothing you can do, then why concern yourself, ya know? Stop telling yourself you can't go do something because of something else. Just go do it. If you want to just do it. You are given roughly 100 years (some of us not so lucky) and we waste days and days stressing about how nothing is getting any better. You can complain all you want, but you won't get that vacation until you book it. You won't try that new food until you order it (or cook it). You won't lose that weight until you get on a treadmill. And guess what! Those bills will still be on your counter when you get home. That food will stay at that restaurant when you don't show up. And those pounds will keep hanging out with you. You can wish all you want, but I stopped believing in wishing a while ago. I now believe in doing. Stop wishing yourself happy and start making yourself happy.
