Wake Up!
Haven't you had enough of the crying and struggling?
Wipe away the tears and look at the world through new eyes.
It is time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change,
or for happiness to come galloping over the next horizon.
In the real world there aren't fairy tale endings,
and the only guarantee of happyly ever after begins with
you. Stop judging, and accept people for who they are, look
over their shortcomings, in the process you will become
content. You are not perfect, and everyone does not need
to like you or approve of who or what you are. Learn to love
yourself, and in the process you will find self-confidence
and self-approval. Stop complaining and blaming people
for things that happen in your life. It's not always
about you, and sometimes you have no support system, so
take control of your life and stand on your own two feet,
and in the process you will become self-reliant. Keep an
open mind, get rid of the old thoughts and beliefs that hold
no value anymore, follow your instincts. Learn the difference
between guilt and responsibility. Learn to say No.
Know what you want, and make a list of those things, keep
it close to your heart. Stand your ground. Be honest with
yourself, and see your relationships for what they really
are. Not how you want them to be or what they used to be. It
is a part of life to grow and change, sometimes it is not in
the direction we want, and so it is with love.
You have the
right to want and to make demands, and you deserve to be loved,
and to be treated respectfully and with kindness. Do not
settle for less. Never settle, and in the process you will
continue to grow and change. In life, you get what you believe
you deserve, and wishing for something is not the same as
working to make it happen. Realize that in order to be happy,
sometimes you must be sad. Adversity brings strength and
being alone is not the same as being lonely. Keep negative
feelings and thoughts out of your mind, they will suffocate
and poison you and everything around you. Admit when you
are wrong, ask for forgiveness, and forgive in return.
Be thankful for the little things, and show appreciation
for all that you have been given and all that you have earned.
Be brave, find the courage within you to keep smiling, keep
trying, keep loving and keep believing in yourself.
