No amount of wishing we were like someone else will make it possible to be someone else. We are who we are. IF WE HAVE BAD HABITS, THEN SO BE IT. IF WE WISH TO QUIT ANY BAD HABIT, WE CAN, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE ANYWHERE. BUT NOT ONCE A YEAR AT MIDNIGHT. THAT IS NOT THE TIME, NOR PLACE, TO SAY, WE WILL IMPROVE OURSELVES. For the mood of the moment is not strong enough to carry a desire for improvement for any length of time.
We must be committed to improving ourselves in a positive way. One that does not entail, giving something up. We must begin to like ourselves just like we are, period. That is the hardest thing people will ever face. Liking ourselves, and thinking positive things, bout us, who we are and what we will become someday, if we but begin to clothe ourselves with goodness, mercy and forgiveness. Look in the mirror, if you see, you as bad traits, or bad habits, you will never succeed to change yourself for the better. YOU WILL ONLY SEE BAD! DON’T LET THE DEVIL OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, SUCCEED IN MAKING YOU BAD, OR YOU WILL COMMIT THE BAD and also what other people consider bad for you..
NEGATIVE IS SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN POSITIVE, THAT IS EVIDENCED BY,
'ONE AWE SHIT,’ WHIPS OUT 'TEN ATTA BOYS'. TRY I T, IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME.. NEXT TIME YOU DO 10 GOOD THINGS, TO YOUR WIFE OR HUSBAND OR FRIEND OR CHILDREN AND THEN YOU DO ONE BAD THING. PEOPLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOOK AT THE BAD, NOT THE TEN GOODS AND THEY WILL TELL YOU IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, YOU BETTER NOT DO THAT THING AGAIN, OR I WILL LEAVE YOU!
NEVER REMEMBERING ALL THE GOOD YOU DID!!!!YOU KNOW IF PEOPLE WOULD TELL THE ONE BAD, THE TEN GOOD, TO THE JUDGE, WHILE TRYING TO GET A DIVORCE FROM, 'SAID INDIVIDUAL,' INSTEAD OF HOWLING IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES, THE JUDGE WOULD JUST LAUGH AT YOU AND SAY, NO WAY, GO HOME AND WORK IT OUT. DON'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING? YOUR FOLLOWING YOUR LUSTS NOT THE PERSON YOUR LEAVINGS LUST. EVEN GOD SAYS WHEN WE SIN WE ARE NOT TEMPTED BY HIM, BUT WE FOLLOW OUR OWN LUSTS! NOW GO TO BED WITH THAT AND THINK ABOUT THAT FOR LONG AND HARD MOMENTS IN TIME, AND WE WILL NOT BE SO SWIFT TO IDENTIFY ANOTHER'S WEAKNESES. WE MIGHT EVEN END UP A BETTER AND BRIGHTER PERSON BECAUSE OF THIS. AND WORK ON OUR VERY OWN WEAKNESSES.

WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY, IS DO NOT LET NEW YEARS EVE RESOLUTIONS
BE THE CRITERIA FOR IMPROVING YOURSELF. IT WON’T WORK. DO TAKE THE 364 OTHER DAYS AND SAY, YOU KNOW TODAY I MIGHT JUST SUCCEED, IF I REALLY WANT TO. THAT IS THE KEY!
REALLY WANTING TO!
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, YOU USUALLY COMMIT.
BUT DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE DO AN IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DON’T LIKE WHO YOU ARE, OR WHAT YOU DO OR WHAT YOU SAY, ANY CHANGE UNDER THIS PICTURE SIMPLY WON’T LAST..
PEOPLE I KNOW! Believe me! Not all improvement is good for you. Sometimes it turns out to be downright bad for you.! ONCE MY DOCTOR SAID years ago, "QUIT SMOKING." Well I did, everybody wanted it to happen. They thought I'd get healthy!!!And please the world to boot!
Then my weight ran rapid, 40 lbs rabidly, for that matter. It took me five years to get that rise in weight down to a livable level. And who knows what that is? To make a long story turn short, it went down SOUTH.
My Cholesterol ran up to the ceiling. all the way up to NIAGRA FALLS. So I had to go on Lipitor to bring my cholesterol down(till the side effect shot pain up and down my leg and my hip joint) then I went on PAIN PILLS FOR MY HIP, HORRID PAIN IN JOINT AND UP AND DOWN THE LEG. I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A STOKE CAUSED BY A BLOOD CLOT THAT HAD WORKED IT'S WAY LOOSE AND UP MY LEG AND HIP...... I TOLD DR. she said that happens to some people. SHE GAVE ME PAIN PILLS AND PUT ME ON Lovastatin, then I just quit taking them altogether, MY CHOLDESTEROL COULD JUST ZOOM FOR ALL I CARED....CAUSE THE PAIN WENT AWAY. I DID NOTE I DID NOT WANT THE SIDE EFFECTS, THAT WENT ALONG WITH IT---I had to take pain pills to stop that in order to sleep----, when I quit the LIPITOR AND Lovastain, the pain stopped, no more pain pills to sleep.I decided I'd live with HIGH CHOLESTEROL. BESIDES THE PAIN PILLS WERE WORLD RENOWN FOR MESSING WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE HEART, BUT MAN THEY DID TAKE THAT RUMBLING PAIN AWAY, WHEN I WENT TO BED, NERVE ENDINGS BECAME EXTRA SENSITIVE WHEN YOU GET OFF THE JOINT, AND BOY DID THEY HOWL, HOWL, HOWL...THOSE PAIN MEDS WERE SOON TAKEN OFF THE MARKET BECAUSE THE ELDERLY WERE DOUBLING UP ON THEM, FORGETTING THEY HAD ALREADY TAKEN ONE, AND THAT WAS A NO, NO. YOU SEE, THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A
"no side effect drug.'
Mainly I would suggest just not gaining weight or getting rid of it, and maybe the cholesterol will go to sleep and forget to go up.....BUT ALAS DON'T WE ALL LOVE TO EAT.....I THINK I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR.....
And my blood pressure shot out of sight.DOWN UNDER TO AUSTRALIA..
I also had to go on Atenol to get my Blood Pressure back to normal. Now it sometimes gets so low, I have to quit that. But if my Blood Pressure rises I will go back on it. .
I SAY ALL THAT, TO SAY THIS!!! I went back to smoking. After all that seemed to me the lesser of 4 evils. NOW I SAY ALL THAT, TO SAY THIS, PICK YOUR BATTLES. JUST DON'T BELIEVE EVERY TOM, DICK AND HARRY JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PH'D AFTER THEIR NAME. THINK FOR YOURSELF. KNOW YOURSELF. I KNEW I WAS GOING TO OVEREAT, I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS THAT WOULD CAUSE ME. I HAVE ONE OF THOSE DEPENDENT PERSONALITIES. I LIKE FOOD! CHANGE DON'T COME EASY TO ME. BUT IT DOES COME. AND WHEN IT COMES IT WILL BE GOOD FOR ME! IT WILL NOT BRING A BUNCH OF NEGATIVES TO WALLOW in and write about.
AND I HAVE DISCOVERED, THAT PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE ME AS I AM, WON'T LIKE ME ANY BETTER IF I GIVE SOMETHING UP FOR THEM. WHY, YOU ASK?
BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE ME PERIOD. DON'T LIVE YOUR LIFE TRYING TO PLEASE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE YOU PERIOD, OR YOU'LL GET ALL SCREWED UP IN YOUR MIND WHEN THEY TURN ON YOU, AND YOU WILL END UP WORSE NOT BETTER!, MENTALLY!
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO CHANGE, FIND THAT MIRROR AND SAY, I LOVE ME, BECAUSE THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE LOVES YOU. AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE MAKE SURE THE CHANGE DOES YOU HONOR! NOT FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S SAKE BUT FOR YOUR SAKE. DON'T END UP NO DORK LIKE ME, I REALLY FEEL STUPID ABOUT THE CHANGE I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE FOR OTHERS SAKE.
THE ONE VERSE, THAT MOST PEOPLE LEARN EARLY ON AND SOON FORGET, IS
; “for God so loved the World that He gave, His only begotton son, that whosoever believes in him, SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."
God is LOVE, GOD LOVES YOU. WOULDN’T IT BEHOOVE YOU TO BELIEVE GOD SEES SOMETHING IN YOU, THAT OTHERS CANNOT SEE. GOD SEES HIS SON IN YOU! LET THE HOLY SPIRIT BE IN CHARGE OF CHANGING YOU, GOD HIMSELF,. and Success will be sweet to you.
QUIT TRYING TO CHANGE YOURSELF TO SUIT OTHERS, IT WON’T WORK. For you could end up far worse than you ever anticipated. Just because you change, it don't spell success. You could be like me and end up with more problems than Carter's got oats.
AND IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE, WELL GUESS WHAT? I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER JUST LIKE YOU ARE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE TO SUIT ME. I THINK YOUR PERFECT JUST LIKE YOU ARE.
AND REMEMBER---KEEP ON SAYING, "I LOVE YOU" WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
EVENTUALLY YOU WILL COME TO BELIEVE IT. AFTER ALL GOD LOVES YOU, UNCONDITIONALLY! TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT!
HE AIN'T NEVER BEEN KNOWN FOR A SHORTAGE OF WORDS!
