Can't. I hate that word.
It only exists to bring us down. Nothing is impossible. Not a single thing. Think of something crazy and out of the box. Has it been invented yet? Yes? Told you it was possible. Not yet? Find a way to do it! If you 'can't' find a way you'll just have to look harder. There's always a way. Who would have guessed that we could one day fly across the ocean in a matter of hours? Who would have guessed that we would ever have everything a computer, a phone and a pager have on one small device? Who would have guessed that we could ever live video chat with someone on the other side of the world? It's normal to us because we live in this generation. But how about 400 years ago? 1000 years ago? 3000 years ago? They would probably have put you in a dark room because they thought you were crazy. You can. You just have to believe in yourself. You can do everything you set your mind to. You have no idea how to cook but your biggest dream is to open a restaurant. Just because you 'can't' cook right now doesn't mean that you'll never be able to cook. You just have to set your mind to it. Make it happen. Can't = insecurity. Can't = not believing in yourself. Can't = not seeing your own ability to shape your life and yourself to what you want. What is it that you believe you can't do? Please let me know in the comments. What is it? Why do you believe that you can't do that? What makes you believe that you are not strong enough or smart enough (...) ? I know for a fact that you CAN. But you have to take a step back. Do you WANT to? Because that's where it happens. If you want to do something, with all of your heart, you will do everything to change that 'can't' into 'can'. It's all a matter of believing that you can. I know that there is nothing that I can't do. I keep saying that I want to lose weight and that I want to eat healthy but then I come up with excuses. 'But I like to bake.' 'I don't have time to go to the gym.' 'Eating healthy is expensive.' Imara, cut the crap. That's what I'm telling myself. I love to bake, sure. Just bake for somebody instead of yourself. I don't have much time to go the gym. But I can do squats and sit ups in my living room. Eating healthy is not that expensive if I'd leave the chocolate and the ice cream and the tiramisu at the store. You have to sacrifice. But I'm not really into that so I just don't. That doesn't mean that I can't lose weight. It means that I don't really want to lose weight. You can, stop saying that you can't because you can. Say that you don't want to. Say that you don't care about it. But be honest. Because you know what, you are lying to yourself and you deserve better!

I've been fighting my negative thoughts for a very long time. But there came a point where I got sick of them and decided to change the way I thought. I work really hard to think positively but the last few weeks I've been losing that battle. The examples in this video might not line up with what's going on in your life/mind but it's the bigger message. Listen and pay attention. Meditate on it! Changing your mindset is the first step. So take that first step and make YOUR life better for YOURSELF! This message is exactly what I needed to hear. At first I just wanted to write about it but I decided to share the video with you. Do something with it. Please, share your thoughts in the comment or talk to me on Twitter/ Facebook/ Instagram. -> links are in the sidebar.
You know you can also send me an email by going to the contact page to send me an email. Let's do it together. Let's leave our negative thoughts behind and make life a little easier on ourselves. I got a phone call this morning from somebody I cut off months ago. They want to meet up and have a drink.
My first thought was 'whatever' but after giving it some (real) thought... I think I should go. Why? Just because I've been hurt by this person in the past doesn't mean that they can't change. It doesn't mean that they're out to get me or are trying to hurt me. I don't believe that is even a possibility so therefore I will give them another chance. Jesus told us to forgive 77 times. So that's what I'll do. I'll do my best to make peace with the past and forgive so I can give them another chance. I don't know what will happen. I don't know how it'll make me feel but I have to give us a chance to make it right. Part of me is happy that we might be able to fix things but a different part of me doesn't even care. That part of me couldn't care less. But let's be open minded and try to fix it. At least try to be open to it. That's the only way this thing between us will ever change. So let's hope so... I hope so. I'm so sick of not being able to write! I've been staring a a blank page for hours and I have nothing.
I've been re-reading the last few chapters of my book over and over again but I have nothing. There is so much going on in my head that I don't know how to think straight anymore, ironic right? All I want is a clear head. All I want is for the fog to clear up so I can look at my life and see what's really going on so I can work on it and fix it. But this fog seems to get thicker by the hour and at the end of the day, my eyes hurt from squinting. I rarely say this but I hate this. I hate feeling the way I do right now. It stops me from working on myself. I don't have any patience and all I want to do is sleep. But I want to be productive but whenever I focus on one thing, everything else seems to fall apart. I don't even want to complain. I want to be positive and I know that it will eventually pass and I'll feel better but I don't want to wait. I need it to get better now. Every time I get knocked down I feel like this is what's going to keep me down. I always feel like I can't take anything else and I feel like giving up. But I can't. I can't give up because I don't want to. But I have to be honest, it's not always easy to keep going. Right now I feel angry with myself because I'm trying to pull myself up but I can't. Whatever I try, doesn't work and it irritates me. I am tired of fighting because I feel like that's all I ever do. And I'm so sick of these tears that I can't control anymore. i was watching a movie yesterday and it wasn't even that serious but I had tears in my eyes and that's something that doesn't happen. I don't cry for movies but I couldn't stop it yesterday. I just want to be happy, that's all. |
