How long are you going to hold on to the things that are not working in your best interests? Things that are not fulfilling? Things that are no longer productive? How long are you going to deny yourself, your feelings and your power in order to live up to the demands and expectations of others? How long are you going to over do, over give, over indulge, trying to convince yourself and others that you are worthy? Perhaps today is as good a day as any other to let go of them and grab onto your Self. Perhaps today is the day that you will find the courage and the strength to stop doing worthwhile things and start being worthy.
Life is not about holding on. Nor is it about pleasing others in order to get by. Life is not about doing what will make others believe you are worthy. Nor is it about denying yourself to make others feel better. Isn't it obvious that life is moving on while you seem to be stuck in a holding pattern? Can you not see that you are carrying so much "stuff", perhaps so many people that you can hardly move, let alone make any progress. In fact, doesn't it seem at times as if you are being left behind, by the very ones you stayed behind to help
Life is about moving through, moving on, growing up, and growing through each and every experience. Life is about examination, elimination and re-creation. Perhaps today is the only day you have to examine your life, to make some adjustments and changes, so that you can take full advantage of the opportunities this day offers. Today sure seems like a good day! If it's not today, what will it take?

My biggest problem in my life is knowing these things and not being able to do it. I can't let myself be this way as no one has explained to me, or shown me the way, to take care of myself and not have to be alone.
When I have taken my own path, I walk alone and I'm just not totally ready for that yet, but getting close.
This is my truth.
Peace
LOVE this reading, Mel!
Especially this part....

Yes, life is about movement.
Thanks for sharing this awesome reminder, dear lady!
Ok ok. I'll throw out all my too-big trousers.
Er, tomorrow though - the charity shops aren't open today.
