Things I Believe In

Aug 14, 2008 23:33

I posted my first entry 2 days ago at the recommendation of a friend...Jeff! I have to admit that the response and welcome committee was quite overwhelming, however, much appreciated! Jeff told me of the warm and supportive sense of community that he's experienced while participating in LJ. He also told me that he's actually met some of his LJ ( Read more... )

affirmations, believe

I love the list. It reminds me of when I was an undergrad working for the Housing Dept and we'd go on a staff retreat. We'd take one of those personality tests and talk about how to work as a team and to how to be better in general.

*HUGS* back at ya!

Thanks man! It's what I live by literally! I'm not perfect and I'm no martyr, but I try my best to be the absolutely best Jeff I can ever be! It's a very powerful feeling to know that you don't have to lower yourself to someone else's standards. You can set your standards higher, not for external validation or to make people think you're this great guy, but for yourself and your spirit or soul! Sometimes, it's quite painful because others think that I'm self-righteous(not sure I spelled that correctly). It doesn't really matter what others think as long as I'm happy with myself, my actions and the way I think and react! I appreciate the wonderful comment and I am really looking forward to meeting you! This is way cool! Got a cool story to relay to you about myspace over lunch! **BIG HUGS**

I understand! Hope you're having a great time in Jackson. I am definitely coming to Gulfport sometime in Sept. I'll let you know the dates for sure! **BIG HUGS**

Ok, number 24 is from "Affirmation," Savage Garden! I recognize that line! :-)

some of those lines are great, I need to start using them! Hope you are well!

Really! Most of these have been passed on to me from friends who I've met that are on a journey of self discovery like myself! I can quote the person who made the statement for a few of them, but not all of them. Never heard of "Affirmation" Savage Garden. Is that a book? I know Savage Garden is a rock group, maybe Affirmation is a song? Not sure! Anyway, these are things I live by. I feel as though they pack a punch and really grasp any given moment in a nutshell. They are my commandments so to speak. I'm glad there was a connection! **BIG HUGS**
