I DON'T NEED ANY MORE DISTRACTIONS!
Saw this quote and had to share...
Worry about loving yourself, instead of loving the idea of other people loving you!
Ummm nailed it
I don't need you to love me, but I do need to love myself and please God in every way... I care what HE thinks of me.
Pauline and I had a Bible study last week on zoom and I told her I needed to work on my thoughts... I think others are always judging me.... So she asked me today if I have been doing my homework and I was like ummm... Sooo I am doing it now.
This personal development book... Think Like a Monk has me thinking about so many things about today's world, social media, and the feeling that I NEED and WANT others to like me... Because I have a Fear of rejection... A Fear of judgment, etc...
But when I saw that quote, it was like a breath of fresh air. I needed to hear that. Like in my soul needed to hear that.
So Galatians 1:10... I am reading that.
I need to clear away the dust in my head and really focus in because there are lots of distractions.. There are negative thoughts, so when I was reading in my PD... It was like Monks practice having a space of stillness and silence so they can hear themselves. Only then can you hear yourself.
When you focus on the negative.. You never hear all the positive things you are about yourself. I need to find my significance.. My joy... My seat with my name on it but I got to drown out those negative thoughts and focus on the good things.. Like how I can help people...
That I am good at when they are willing and ready. I am good at being a good listener and really dialing in what I think the problem could be... I could be a therapist but it is also my weakness, because I want to fix problems. Fix people who aren't ready for what I bring to the table. #alot
That is ok, but I got to be really ok with that, and that is where I struggle... Because when it is them that isn't ready... I turn it into it must be ME... I am the problem.
So that is what I want to focus on... Me, my self love, my family, my faith, my coaching biz and the ones who are really ready, because I need to have the courage to want God's approval first.
