We all go through the journey of becoming many things to many people. Mother, daughter, friend, wife..but all of these titles do not really explain the whole person. None of these titles were really me. For many years, I have been wearing myself out trying to be too many things to too many people. In the process I have lost myself. I am being too many things to people that I should not be around.
So did I forget who I am?
Yes, I did and I did this by being around people who are doing absolutely nothing with themselves and in the process I started to do nothing again too. I was complaining and being passive aggressive. Two self destructive emotions especially when trying to achieve so many personal and professional goals in my life. I surrounded myself with people who are negative, selfish, and self serving. I got lost in others' bullshit and forgot myself.
So did I forget who I am?
Yes, I did and I did it to myself. I throw down my map to becoming a happier and better me and started follow the crowd of negative haters. I had more people in my circle that are not really lifting up to the level I know I should be. Sadly this was my fault. I fotgot my goals and my destiny.
So How can I fix it?
I getting back to my goals and not being suck into other peoples crap. I am focusing on moving to a new place, keeping great positive people around me, and letting go of negative people. I am focusing on me and for the first time in my life. I am going to be selfish with my time and my emotions.
I am learning a lot about myself and the things that affect me everyday. Just being me is an evolving journey of acceptance, change, and growth. I learned today that I have a long way to go. I am learning to remember my goals, build my brand, and forgetting those that no longer lifting me up to a new level.
Seriously, Did I forget who I am?
Yes but I found me again. Now I have to get back on the road to success
Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
