Reminder to self.

It is not my job to keep marriages together.

I'm not in charge of making sure other people love me or hate me.

I'm not in charge of making sure other people love my paintings and photos.

I don't have to drive all over town to the other end of the universe like ev-er-y night. I did that for someone once and I didn't find it fulfilling in the end.

I Promise Myself

To be strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
the last one ( ... )

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!

Doing what feels good is the right thing 99.9% of the time, in my opinion. It feels good for a reason... you should listen to yourself above all others! I also think it makes the lives of those around you better... we should discuss this further over mochas and bagels now that I have funds once again.
