It's all YOU!

“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. 

Only you can be responsible for that. 

If you can't love and respect yourself

no one else will be able to make that happen. 

Accept who you are - completely; 

- the good and the bad -

- and make changes as YOU see fit - 

not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
 ~Stacey Charter

 

A quote I found that reiterates what I was trying to say the other day.  We can't keep seeking approval from others in order to feel good about ourselves, or in order to be happy.

I'm going to be 53 years old soon.  

I've been married three times; and divorced three times. 

It's time for me to stop believing in fairy tales.  

Life - the way it is right now -  is how it's going to be.

Accept what is, and stop wishing for something that isn't. 

If or when I want something better, then its up to me to make it happen.   

And lately, I've been thinking that what I need to make happen

is something other than waiting for life.  

I should be working on my photography every hour I'm not at work.

Because that brings me the greatest joys.

And isn't that what life is for?  being happy?

Just sayin' .....
