Ponderings...

    Continued ...

    Once I recognized the power that this had on me I was able to take ownership of it rather than blame others,
    including my mother. My  mother did the best she knew how to do. I decided to revisit this from a different
    perspective – I can appreciate the drive my mother instilled in me, I can also be grateful for the ability to survive
    and thrive, to test waters where most wouldn’t risk, to know there is always a better way. Without that teaching,        
    I wouldn’t be who I am today. I can view it in an empowering perspective or one that dis-empowers me.

    The chronic TV watcher button doesn’t have the same effect. If someone chooses to be a TV expert, I’m OK with
    their choice it isn’t one that works for me.

    Life is great, huh! Freedom is finding what pains us and releasing it. While in our heads analyzing it’s impossible
    to get to the source of the pain. We become data dumps waiting to spew our knowledge on anyone and everyone
    and we are pretty good at convincing ourselves.

    Hiding behind a shell is a method of survival. I’ll bet if you’re like me, a life of quality is a priority. I encourage you  
    to look for the gold within your pain and allow your true self to manifest something greater than you’d imagined
    possible.

    May your thoughts be empowering!

    Smiles to you!

I think the biggest thing is that
you helped me tap into what I
knew was inside of me. You
are a big part of gaining my
confidence back as a person
in the work place and as an
individual.  I really appreciate
all you have done.  The time
and effort you put in was very
much appreciated and
respected.
