Life update:
I had my first Guinness beer last night. Yumnn.
Any-who, today's topic is: self esteem.
I haven't met a single person who hasn't struggled with self esteem at one time or another.
From what I've found, it's all about your state of mind, your attitude. You can be the fiercest, meanest sister out there if you simply think you are.
You can also be the most unworthy, stupid, useless stain out there too if you think you are.
When I've felt like the latter, it's because I'm under the influence of others.
Don't let people on the outside control or influence you.
Are you a bad mammajamma?
I am constantly living on two edges: Gandhi mentality and Godfather mentality.
Trust vs. Distrust
Non violence vs. Violence
Inclusive world view vs. Singular Survivalist view
Life has made me distrustful of everyone I encounter but it's a survival and coping tactic.
So what do you think:
(QUESTION OF THE DAY)
Gandhi or the Godfather (perhaps Scarface is more appropriate) mentality? Can you have both?
We are our own worst enemy. Coincidentally, we are also in charge of making our own reality.
ReplyDeleteOthers can get you down... if you let them! But who are they? They are not you. You are... all that matters...
Inversely, realize that you are connected to everyone else. We are all one sharing in life. Alone but together. We recognize each other and with that comes joy; but without remembering our SELF we forget and that leads to darkness and destruction. Self-doubt and denial. Instead, work to see the light; be the light; share the light.
