My posts discuss a lot of topics relating to enhancing your lifestyle with nutritional and dietary supplements as well as personal care products. I really believe in the products I recommend to enhance your lifestyle.
One thing I haven't discussed lately has nothing to do with products, but if you practice it, I know from personal experience, you will truly add years to the quality of your life.
It's all about your attitude. Having a positive attitude works wonders! Did you know that?
A positive reinforcement that I recently came across said it all for me: "If you spend your time looking in the rear view mirror, you'll never see the great things that are ahead of you."
This stopped me in my tracks. I asked myself, "Why do I spend so much time thinking about things that have happened in the past? Why do I dwell so much on people that have decided I'm not supposed to be in their front row?" I mean, just because I love them doesn't mean they have to love me back. Ideally, that's what we all want is for our love to be reciprocated but in reality, that won't always be the case.
It just won't.
So I've decided-rather than going over and over past mistakes, I'm making it a personal mission of mine to move forward in love. Even if someone that I love has decided they no longer wish to be a part of my life, it's okay. I will no longer dwell in disappointment, wondering what I did wrong-especially if they won't tell me or give me the chance to make it right-I am going to honor their wishes and let them go.
Starting at this moment, if I haven't done so before, I am moving forward, not in anger, not in frustration, and certainly not vengefully, the way I used to. I'm honoring their wishes and I will move forward in love, wishing them the best that life has to offer. That's what we all want for the ones we love-even if they don't love us back.
I'm grateful for the time we had together because, if I didn't make the decision to cut you out of my life, you brought value to me. But if you're letting me go, then I no longer bring value to you-at least not enough for you to fight to keep me around-and you deserve to have people in your life that you consider 'lifers' or people that you want to have in your front row.
I know some people are reading this right now wondering, "What is she going on about?" Well, to be honest, in a way, this is a letter to those people that I've been dwelling on-one of which happens to have a birthday today and one has a birthday tomorrow (happy birthday to you both).
Sure, I didn't have to publish this but, this is my way of finally letting go. After five years of waiting, I'm finally letting go.
For the rest of you who have decided I no longer bring value to your life, it's okay. I can't bring value to everyone's life so I am going to concentrate on those who do feel I'm worthy of having around.
I'm no longer looking in the rear view mirror with regret-only ahead with joy, love, hope, faith and peace. Thank God, I finally feel like I have some peace.
Happy May Day everyone!
