Life Lens - Entry 49

Nonchalance & Self-Respect Here’s what I’ve figured out about myself: I used to dislike people who didn’t seem to care much in relationships. You know, those people who don’t text back for a day or don’t make an effort to see you. But then I realized that I’m kind of like that too. If someone doesn’t message me for a while, I won’t rush to message them. And if they’re not making an effort to…

En estos tiempos en donde los planes se frustran o cambian cada 15 min, la motivación no está precisamente a tope y el encierro de repente pega en el estado de ánimo, ser amable conmigo misma y darme chance de experimentar todos los sabores y colores de mis emociones, sin juzgarme, ha sido clave para mí. No siempre estamos de buenas, felices y motivadas, y eso está bien, eso es ser humanas. Lo importante es conectarnos con nosotras, revisar qué pasa y darnos mucho amor en forma de pedir ayuda, darnos una pausa, hablar con personas que nos quieren, hacer algo placentero, conectar... lo que sea que nos haga bien y ayude a seguir adelante💜 ¿Ustedes cómo se tratan cuando son amables consigo mismxs? #kindnessquotes #tratatebien #respectyourselffirst #ilustradoramexicana #ilustradoras #ilustradorasmexicanas https://www.instagram.com/p/CKh1aJmDOs7/?igshid=i8k58s4c15d5

"Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to RESPECT and use your own brains and instincts: hence grappling with hard work." Adrienne Rich 28 years ago, This young girl was put into riding lessons in hopes that it would get horses out her her system. Was told horse's aren't a sport too many times to count. Worked extra hours to be able to buy secret lessons as a teenager. That young girl was me, and yea, I still get those looks 🤔🙄🧐 when I tell people that I wash & repair horse blankets, and have designed my own horse and pet laundry safe soaps....but I respected myself, and my dreams enough to never give up. I know i can't be the only one who has had this happen! Can you share with me a time YOU took that responsibility for yourself, and respected your own instincts when someone told you not to?? #respectyourself #respectyourhorse #respectyourselffirst #younghorse #youngrider #beforecellphones #28yearsago #englishriding #horselovercorner #youngentrepreneur (at Suffolk, England, Uk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYIfNqngRh/?igshid=em79yeowckej

Tuesday Perspective & Thoughts

 Full transparency, I’ve been finding it hard to write lately.  There have been topics that game through my mind, but the inspiration or creativeness hasn’t caught up.  My wife related it to writer’s block but not sure if I would consider myself a writer; more like a storyteller 😊.  When the blog idea came to mind over four years ago, it was to share the journey we are on.  All the good, the bad, the challenges, the growth, the messiness, and silliness. The idea was to be genuine, truthful, sometimes brutally honest with where we were, where we are, and where we are headed; with the most important thing – who was it that we were becoming along the way.  We wanted to share this and hopefully help others understand that none of us are alone. We’ve been fortunate enough to learn from a lot of great folks out there and want to share those lessons and pay it forward.  

 Lately I’ve been coming up empty on ideas but, have also been distracted.  Summer tends to do that and with business travel picking up and getting ready for a daughter in her senior year and sports travel picking up for both girls – my wife and I have been working to navigate those commitments just like so many of others out there.  Last week, I listened to Jay Shetty’s podcast with Darren Prince.  It was the first time in several months that I was incredibly moved by a podcast that I jotted down notes.  Points that I felt compelled to share thoughts on because they were raw, showed vulnerability, and incredibly powerful.  

 Here is the link to the podcast and I encourage you folks to give it a listen.  Darren Prince has a wonderful story.

 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-purpose-with-jay-shetty/id1450994021?i=1000530722474

 These were several of the points Darren Prince shared that had me thinking. Figured I would put them out there for you all as a summary with some thoughts.

 “We need a course in school that teaches self-worth.” – This alone is powerful and so true.  Growing up we all have challenges and obstacles we are working through.  Fear and anxiety of getting made fun of, making a mistake, giving a wrong answer, losing a match, getting rejected?  All normal back then and still exist today, for adults as well. That said, I didn’t truly now what “having self-worth” meant until I was an adult.  Sure, there was confidence and maybe at times, cockiness, but did I know what my worth was when I was a teenager? Do any of us at that age? How valuable would it be to teach that quality in those formative years?  There are times now that I have thoughts of being inadequate.  We discussed them a few weeks ago on the podcast and in the blog a few times too. Yes, we want to believe in ourselves and have confidence, that self-worth that we can do something; that we can be something.  That said, I do believe there is something to be said about questioning if we are able to do something.  I want to be crystal clear here thought – just because we may not think we can do something, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t.  When I toe the line to run 100 miles, I would be lying to you if the thought of not finishing comes into play.  That is normal.  Taking on a new job, starting a new business, even taking a test – there will be sometimes you question your abilities.  I think that is normal.  However, it in no way shape or form should prevent us from taking on that challenge. When that fear, uncertainty, and doubt stop us from taking that step forward, that is when our self-worth is questioned.  

 “When others love and respect you more than you love and respect yourself.” – Good follow up to what is above.  I think it is hard to love and respect others when you don’t love and respect yourself. There will be times, during different stages of life, it comes into question.  That is part of the peaks and valleys of this journey we are on.  There are times, when I’ve dealt with depression and yeah, those moments of inadequacy, where that love and respect come into question. During those deep moments though, as we build ourselves up to move beyond those feelings, I believe our love and respect for ourselves becomes stronger.  Once again, these thoughts and feelings happen but do they prevent us from moving forward?  When we battle through these moments, we grow through the experience.  I also think our love and respect for ourselves grows. That then produces a stronger ability to love and respect others at a deeper level.

 “Turn your pain into purpose.” – What is that pain you are feeling? What is it that is creating those feelings of inadequacy or lack of self-worth? What control do you have to change it? It is there, we just have to find out and turn it into that which will move us forward.  My biggest purpose is my daughters and working with them to become great adults.  When I have my battles and my feelings show through, this can impact them and potentially create challenging environments for them. Unfortunately we can’t turn off those thoughts or just flip a switch and have those feelings go away.  We can, however, dig into those feelings and share in that fight.  Sharing our pain is being vulnerable.  Of course, there are moments that are best to share your insecurities.  We have to pick and chose them.  What I’ve realized, and I have mentioned this before, when I have become brave enough to share those insecurities, owned them, I’ve been able to move past them.  Those mistakes, failures, and moments of messiness that I spent so many years hiding, created the opportunity to grow from and live from.  We learn from our mistakes and those insecurities make us who we are.

 We will end it with this one.  It is one of my favorite quotes and a great way to think about what we discuss here, relentless forward progress. “I’m not exactly who I want to be. I am not yet where I want to be, but thank God, I am not the person I used to be.” – Having gratitude about where you are, who you are, and what you have is important. Appreciating the moments we get to experience and the journey we get to take is fulfilling.  Even being content, to point is wonderful.  But it is also okay to have awareness about where you may be on your journey.  Meaning, maybe you are not who you want to be……YET. Maybe you may not be exactly where you want to be……YET!  However, and I am fairly certain about this, if you look back on your journey, a few weeks, months, or years – you are definitely not the person you used to be. You have made progress.  You’ve have learned through pain, failure, and it has been messy.  But you’ve grown and become callous in certain areas. You have become better and that process will continue.  Let’s keep showing up.  Let’s keep being persistent.  Let’s keep moving forward, enjoying the ride, sharing our journey – we are all in this together.

 Scott Jurek – “Perspective can be both humbling and inspiring.”

If you are in a SITUATIONSHIP, or struggling to get over or let go of someone, here is a game changer: It’s not how you feel about them that matters right now… it’s how they are making YOU feel about you. If someone makes you feel unappreciated. Not good enough. Not worthy. Rejected. Disrespected. Any feeling whatsoever that makes you feel anything less than amazing… remember THIS. That’s what matters. And that’s what’s going to help you get out of this. Make a “bottom line” statement, and hold on to it. When your brain goes into overthinking mode, say STOP. And repeat your bottom line statement. Own it. And above all, TRUST IT. “At the end of the day, they leave me guessing…” (and I deserve ______) “At the end of the day, they make me feel like shit…” (and that is enough to make everything else irrelevant)… If you are stuck in a situation-ship that’s no longer fun for you, or find yourself going back and forth to an ex that you KNOW isn’t for your greater good, remember this: How you feel about someone is not as important as how they make you feel about you. Because you know what you deserve. And it’s on you to protect that. And the second you do, that’s where the magic starts to happen. #boundaries #takeresponsibility #breakuprecovery #breakup #situationship #situationships #youdeservebetter #ideservebetter #clarity #gamechanger #breakup101 #toxicrelationships #relationshipgoals #roadtolove #findyourlove #findingyoursoulmate #findyoursoulmate #soulmate #loveyourlove #youdeservelove #breakuptips #breakupbandaid #healing101 #egoboost #confidence #selfconfidence #selfrespect #respectyourself #respectyourselffirst #relationshipcoach (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ8AmcXPEcj/?utm_medium=tumblr

WHAT I THINK OF YOU DOES NOT MATTER. WHAT YOU THINK OF YOU MEANS EVERYTHING.  Spiritual texts teach us that as we think of ourselves in our hearts, so are we. If we think negatively about ourselves, that thought manifests or shows up in our behavior and lifestyle.  People take us at the value we place on ourselves. If we think highly of ourselves, people will believe us, respect us, and treat us with the level of respect that we have provided ourselves. If we think negatively about ourselves, people will believe us, respect us, and treat us with the level of respect that we have provided ourselves. It is up to us. The Universe has gifted us this amazing power. The moral of these principles is your mind does not know the difference between a real experience and a really well-imagined experience. I hope you can hear that. If you can, you can change your life whenever you need to change your life. You possess power. Use it. WHAT I THINK OF YOU DOES NOT MATTER. WHAT YOU THINK OF YOU MEANS EVERYTHING. #spiritualhealing #thinker #brokenhearts #heartmemes #negative #negativethoughts #manifesting #manifestyourlife #behavior #behaviors #behaviormodification #valueyourself #thinkofyou #thinkofyourself #believeit #respectyourself #respectyourselffirst #treatmyself #favors #favored #provide #provider #universetoday #universallaw #amazinggrace #amazingfacts #moralofthestory #moral #principles  (at Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_czPDxFToa/?igshid=1e87p24pmynk0
