Day 4 (so I'm a little behind...what of it?)

happy things 

Follow, follow me to Charadestyle.com and take 31 days to M.Y.L.A!

"But confidence in ourselves is not always easy if we are relentlessly focusing upon our as-yet-unachieved-intentions, instead of the small successes we have already accomplished. Start thinking of yourself as a success now and your further intentions become real, within reach and deserved."

I really need to stop being such a "misery-bear."  

Homework:

♥ Be sure of yourself as a success.

Write a list of five to ten things you have already been successful in, from the smallest exam, to the perfect interview, to cultivating an amazing talent or knowledge within a subject, beginning each line with ‘I am/have been successful in...’

By reminding yourself that you are already a success, the successful mindset becomes something far more solid and real-world to you, and perhaps you see that it was yours for the taking all along.

Next, write down five to ten things you would like to be successful in, from a precise skill, to abundant riches, to far-off travel, to marriage and kids. Write these as ‘I will be successful in/at/with...

♥ I

I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL AT....

securing my dream job...
living on my own...
getting a MA...
marrying my love...
finding what i love in life...
traveling the WORLD...Italy, Spain, Turkey (if it ever isn't dangerous)
doing what really makes me happy
educating others...
finding out who i really am...
making many different friends and creating stronger friendships...

I think I am afraid of two things...actually getting what I want and then figuring out that it's NOT what I wanted at all...OR actually getting what I want and then not having anything to "misery-bear" over. Is it possible to have a fear of both success AND failure. So therefore, not do ANYTHING. What a waste. I need to get out of the mindset of "but, what if I don't like it?" Well, WHAT IF YOU DO!? You won't know until you try.
