I wasn't born to be liked. I'm totally cool with that. What then keeps the path from crashing into a pole? It's human nature to want to be accepted. What is it that you want people to accept? Your old self from yesterday or the new self you grew into today? Before you can answer that question you have to be aware of your mind games first. How many of us begin our day is through the halls of thought. How often does a voice in your head or heart take you out? Knowing how you are makes you aware of who you are. So instead of allowing the thought to fuel invisible fires ready to strike out at others. Put a positive thought out there first. How can you be positive when a negative thought kept you awake at night? By getting control of the bad thought the moment it enters the vision of your inner eye. I've been asked to keep away from people because they aren't in the mood for my positive outlook. If my choice is to be positive. What then is the negative that I chose to keep away from your next step? Be aware... Through it's strength you will grow beyond your present place.
