My Afternoon Epiphany

What a day, What a day! However, it was not a total wash out.......... in my effort to practice breathing before speaking I did discover that sometimes you just have to let it run through before sharing.

In my silence I had a thought:

My thought: Hum, you know it's time for me to remember who I am.
Not you (who will remain nameless) gets to define me. I
define me!

What a thought! And then it just kept going. It was an epiphany in the afternoon. The bright light started shining on me and I heard harps. Suddenly I realized it wasn't important to me and I wasn't going to argue about it. Whatever the decision I would go with, move on, and make my decision based I what I feel is important and what I know is fair and impartial. Either way, I will not let others define who I am and what I'm about.

This is what I'm about:

Family, Friends, Laughter, and trying to always do my best in any situation
that presents itself. I will do everything I can to help and I would do it with only
the hope to be treated the same in return. I am loud, I am opinionated, I am strong,
and I am a Proud! I'm not looking to cheat or hurt anyone. I make mistakes. I AM
capable of CHANGE!

For so long I have been letting other people define me in all areas of my life. I have forgotten I already know who I am. I'm not easy sometimes and I don't always know the right way, but I'm a quick study and I have the heart to make it worth the effort. So please quit treating me as though I don't know that there is room for improvement. Instead tell me what you want and give me the opportunity to get it right (if I choose too) but don't chastise me like a child and create conflict where there is no need for it because in the end I am going to do what I feel is right. You can count on that......

It's time for me to quit focusing on what other people want me to be and start focusing on what I want to be. If you don't like it, it's OK. I would not want anyone to be anything less then themselves and I hope that you have a lifetime of wealth, health, and love, but GET OFF ME! I'm doing the best I can. I know there is room for improvement but Rome wasn't built in a day people! I'm just saying...................................,
