I have been doing a lot of thinking since I got the happy new year good luck your fired bomb dropped on me. This unemployment thing actually feels much better then it sounds. However, it is not the ideal situation for the pocketbook. Events that will alter your life require you to have porcelain heart. You have to make a decision and open your heart to important decisions and life altering experiences. If you don't expose your heart then the vigor and zest of life is totally sucked out of you. Many people choose to live life like that, but there miserable existence permeates there surrounding with a negative funk. Many senior citizens choose to live life like this. They have hardened their heart so much they don't want any one else to be happy either. In order to be truly happy you have to get all the way down to the core of your existence and what makes you happy. Once you do this you must take out the trash. Forgive and forget all the negative experiences that have shielded your happiness. Refocus on the positive circumstances, relationships, and blessings that define your life. We have all had less than perfect lives, we're all human. If you haven't emptied the garage out of your life, act now. Once you do you can move closer to the life you always desired and your relationships, attitude, and zest will be restored. Many people have locked away and carried emotional baggage since childhood. If your parents weren't there all the time, or mistreated you must forgive them and move on. i can relate to this and took me up until my early twenties to quit feeling sorry for myself. Everyone always thought I had the most desirable and perfect childhood growing up. Unless money and materialism are the definition of happiness then this notion is far from reality. I'll admit I was spoiled growing up with name brand things thru the later part of life, but my life was also deprived of time with my parents. I can count the times on one had that my dad was at one of my ball games or a PTA meeting. my parents came from nothing and worked 90 plus hour weeks to try and make a better life for themselves. Luckily I got the advantage of having to grow up fast and interacted with more adults than children. If I had it all over to do again I would appreciate more time with my parents, but I wouldn't change anything. My life circumstance define who I am and have ejected me into a beautiful life of happiness. I am truly blessed and thankful for Gods grace and mercy. I know many people that sit around and wonder why they are the victim of failed relationships. The answer is very simple, they aren't happy with themselves and until they are, they can't be happy with anyone else. If your parents left emotional wounds in your heart then get over and move onto a life of happiness. If you haven't forgiven your earthly parents it will hinder your relationship with your heavenly Father. If you maintain a porcelain heart than you have a fighting chance to embrace life by the horns and enjoy the ride. There will come a time in your life when God will break and shatter your heart, send you on an emotional roller coaster, and then reel you back in with a new respect for this journey. I hope you have a porcelain heart as your compass, God as your light, and the Bible as your map. This trinity will transcend you to a blessed and happy life.
God Bless!!!!!
