A time comes in your life -The continuation

Here is the continuation 

You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside,smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.you learn that feelings or entitlements are perfectly OK..and that it is your right to want things and to ask for the things that you want...and that sometimes it is necessary to make demands. You come to the realization that you deserve to be treated with love,kindness,sensitivity and respect ;and you wont settle for less ...and in the process you internalize the meaning of self respect. 


You learn that your body is really your temple , and you begin to care for it and treat it with respect.You begin eating a balanced diet ,drinking more water and taking more time to exercise.You learn that fatigue diminishes the spirit and can create doubt and fear.So you take more time to rest .and,just as food fuels the body ,laughter fuels our soul .So you take more time to laugh and to play. 


You learn that for the most part in your life you get what you believe you deserve...that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for ,and that wishing for something to happen is different from working toward making it happen. 


More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction,discipline and perseverance .You also learn that no one can do it all alone and that it is OK to risk asking for help. 


You learn that the only thing that the only thing you must truly fear is the great baron of all time:FEAR itself .You learn to step right into and thruogh your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it ,and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your terms.And you learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud if impending storm. 


You learn to think that life isnt always fair ,you don't always get what you think you deserve ;and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting good people.On these occasions you learn not to personalize things. 


You learn that life isnt punishing you or failing to fulfill your dreams.It's just life happening.And you learn that negative feelings such as anger ,envy,resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate  the life out of you ,and poison the universe that surrounds you. 


You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls .You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted,things that million of people upon the earth can only dream about:a full refrigerator ,clean running water ,a soft and warm bed, a long,hot shower. 


Slowly you begin to take responsibility by yourself,and you make yourself a promise never to betray yourself and never ever settle for less that your heart's desire.And you hang on a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind. And you make it a point to keep smiling ,to keep trusting and to stay open to every wonderful opportunity. 


Finally with courage in your heart and a deeper understanding ,you take a stand; you take a deep breath ;and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you can.
