My Vow

I am vowing to have a more happy, more positive life. Lately, I have been letting opinions of others get me down and affect me. The stress of always trying to please other people can really wear on you after a while. I have been feeling that a lot lately and finally after a super stressful week last week, I have decided that it is enough! So here are my vows:

~ Be positive.

~ Ignore what you can't change.

~ Some people will not listen to reason...No matter what!

~ Some people can not comprehend reason in the first place.

~ The only person you are responsible for is yourself.

~ The only person you have to answer to in the end is yourself.

~ Happiness is a choice.

~Turning a deaf ear is also a choice.

~ When you are mad, upset or hurt, before confronting the person figure out if there is really anything they could say that would make you feel better...if not, don't bother.

~ Some people thrive off of hurting others...Don't be one of those people and don't fall for their poor decisions.

~ This all will pass.

~ The sun will rise and set the next day even if you don't bend over backwards for someone.

~ Value your time and make down time really down time.

~ Put away things that pull you in different directions and RELAX.

~ Love yourself enough to stand by your decisions.

~ Speak up when it really matters and keep your mouth shut when it doesn't.

~ Stay out of things that aren't your business.

~ Walk away from relationships that are not a two-way street.

~ Stop fighting the inevitable and accept the place where you are.

~ Life is only as good as you make it.

~ Lean on the things that matter and run from the things that don't.

~ If someone continues to hurt you, you have the option of walking away.

~ Know where to draw the line and when to give a little slack.

~ Tone in a voice is like hearing a song on the radio...it can hit everyone's ears a different way. Don't look too far into it.

~ Consider the full situation...what are all the factors.

~ Make a plan for life but be flexible for it to change. Just because it has to change a little doesn't mean it won't ever happen...Just not right now.

~ Hold tight to the friends that build you up and make time for them.

~ A change of scenery will fix a multitude of ills.

~ When you can't see clearly in a situation, step back and know that you don't have to react immediately.

~ Think of consequences before speaking or acting.

~ Know that the world can spin all around but if you are centered in your decisions and confident in yourself, you won't spin with it.
