Acknowledge where I am is where I am

 


The ups and downs of life are what make it worthwhile and fulfilling. Where I am now shows me that each obstacle presented before me to date is now a faint image in my past.

 

Goals and dreams fill my mind and heart. I see myself with more in the future, but I avoid complaining about where I am.

 

I am proud of my accomplishments. They show that hard work and dedication pay off in the end. They also prove that I am stronger than I think at times. My decision to keep pushing is all it takes to release added strength and drive.

 

Although I am limited in my spending ability, I still feel blessed by what I have. It is much more than others who are suffering as I enjoy a home-cooked meal.

 

Thinking of the plight of others reminds me to be grateful. It teaches me to put aside selfish and material ambitions in favor of opportunities to lend a helping hand. Being in a position to provide outreach offers real fulfillment.

 

I know that there is a reason for my current relationship status. I stay away from feeling envious of my friends who are happily married. Instead, I am happy for them. My feelings of loneliness are replaced with joy when I focus on how happy my special people are.

 

Today, there is little that I want at this point in my life because I have everything that makes life worth living. I am happy for what I have and where I am in life.

 

So ask yourself: 

  • What am I most thankful for?

  • In what ways do I offer my help to others?

  • What plans do I have to achieve future goals?

And remember you are beautiful. You are lovable and you are worthy!

How to Streamline Your Daily Schedule and Increase Efficiency

 Do you usually feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you need to do? Sometimes it seems like the laundry or the dishes will just have to wait until later. I know for me, when I let things accumulate, I get overwhelmed, and then I either don't do anything at all, or I look for a distraction, usually food or shopping. The thing still doesn't get done, and it's a perpetual cycle.    That's why   as hard as it is, we must do things when we need to. Otherwise, they don't get done at all. Or we find ourselves having to do them when we truly don’t have the time for them. Then, inevitably, something else has to be put off.   This scenario also applies to work. When a project has a deadline, it’s important to devote all of your undivided attention to it, or it won't get completed. Time management is a critical aspect of every job – from planning to executing.   Your schedule needs to be structured to support efficienc...
