What Do You Want?

We all go after the things that we want in life. It’s defiantly not a bad thing. It can be the driving force to our dreams. Although, sometimes the things that we want actually prevent us from getting the things that we need. You can pick apart this topic with a fine tooth comb and it could go either way. I have realized that sometimes people are too focused on what they want materially, that it causes the things they need to slip further away. Especially if the things you want put a strain on you financially. If we just stuck to the things that we need it would be easier to afford necessities. Other than material things, people also spend time chasing someone that they want. We put a lot of energy into building relationships with our significant other. That is great when it’s an equal relationship. If it’s not equal and one person is doing all the work then it’s easy to see that you are wasting your energy on pursuing someone that you want in your life, but may not necessarily need in your life. While putting all your energy into someone who doesn’t reciprocate you are actually putting yourself on the back burner. This happens all the time. Everyone has had feelings for someone who might not have felt the same way about them. It’s normal, it’s gonna happen. You have to realize that while your pursuing someone, the energy that u are wasting on the person that you want may cause you to slip away from the healthy relationships that you need. It could be your family or friends that you are putting on the back burner, while u go after the person that you want. In an unfaithful relationship people cheat on the person that they love because they meet someone that they want. They don’t need that new person in their life; they just want them in that moment. Really take time to separate the things that you want in life and weigh them to the things that you need. Don’t spend outside your means on the material things that you want and end up coming up short on the essential things that you need. If you have feelings for someone, really think about the person that you are pursuing. Do you really need that person in your life? Don’t jeopardize the relationship you have with the people that you need in your life for someone whom you are just infatuated with. If you are in a relationship really think about the person that you are with. If you love them don’t jeopardize it and cheat with someone that you only want because you are attracted to, knowing that there isn’t any substance there. We live in a world with so much temptation. It’s easy for our wants and needs to get lost in the mix of things. I can think of times when things that I wanted caused me to miss out on things that I actually really needed. I’ve learned to really be decisive and focus more on the things that I need in life. There are less distractions that way. Try it. J

Self Approval

There is nothing that will hold you back in life more than waiting on other people’s approval. You may never even see the day. The only approval you need is Self-approval. We all have flaws and have done things that we feel guilty for doing. Don’t harp on those things. Focus on making sure that whatever you did wrong never happens again. Use the situation to mold yourself into a better person. People make mistakes and not everyone may forgive you for what you have done. Unfortunately, that is just the consequences of your actions. Forgiving yourself and asking God for forgiveness is what’s most important. Some people aren’t always going to “approve” how you look. Everyone has something that they are self-conscious of. It could be their weight, height, nose, ears, toes, hands, hair, acne, Etc. Some people dwell on it more than others. Sometimes we become self-conscious because of what other people say about us. You might not have ever thought anything was “wrong” until someone pointed it out to you. I use to always have bigger feet than my friends in middle school. They would always make jokes about them. I started to get self-conscious about my feet, so I would never wear sandals. Now I look back like "was i really self-conscious about my feet"? Something on my body that I obviously can’t change and have no control over how they look. Now I love my feet. People tell me all the time that I have really nice feet. In the summer I’d rather wear sandals than any other shoe. So sometimes you have to look at the reason why you are self-conscious. Is it really because it’s something you don’t like about yourself or is because someone influenced you into not liking something about yourself. No matter what your outside appearance is always know that you have a talent that no one else in this world has. There is something big or small that you can do better than anyone else can. That is something that no one can take away from you. Always know that you can do anything that you put your mind to. You don’t need anyone else’s approval. Take all the necessary steps that you possibly can to achieve your goals. Do it right the first time. Cutting corners will only set you back in the long run. Educate yourself. Sometimes the best teacher is yourself by learning through trial and error. I believe all you have to do is choose what you want to be in life. Follow your heart, and take the first step. Have the faith and confidence that you can achieve all your goals. As you achieve one goal you will create new goals and you will eventually reach the success that you want.
