Quick Thought

 Although I've heard this quote several times, I think only now it's really starting to hit me deep.

"Instead of looking to find the right person, focus on becoming the right person." 

We get so caught up looking for someone to sometimes perfectly meet our long list of needs and expectations, to find that connection on all intimacy levels, have excellent communication, compatibility, shared faith, values, life goals, interest, who's emotionally available, attractive, affectionate, warm, supportive, thoughtful, caring, and loving, etc.. 

But do we possess those traits ourselves? Perhaps we ought to be more focused on loving ourselves, and becoming the best version of ourselves because whether we're in or out of a relationship, self-care and self-improvement should be our top priority anyway. 

Asking for God's Will

I just had a good counseling session with my therapist. I've been seeing a therapist for years, but recently see her twice a month which has been very useful. 

Acceptance

If we only have this one life, shouldn't we do whatever it takes to become the very best versions of ourselves? If we only have this one life, shouldn't we want to spend as much time as we can with the people that matter most to us and treat them with the utmost love, care & kindness?

If this is our only life (and it is), we must make sure we don't waste it. Focus your time, work, and energy on what's most important + meaningful to you. Tomorrow is never promised. Don't take people for granted. Always give them your very best.

Keep Going, You Got This!

I will become stronger

I will stay disciplined
I will not take shortcuts 
I will be consistent

I will use my time wisely
I will be accountable to myself 
I will do what it takes to become successful
I will grow in ethics, integrity, honesty, and holiness
I will make better choices 
I will make healthy habits
I will choose to be happy whether it rains or shines

I will accomplish challenging tasks even if I don't feel like doing them

I am becoming more loving. More patient. More forgiving. and More understanding. I choose to be more. 

I am committed to my goals and creating healthy systems
I am focused on making progress and taking action
I am resolved to become the best version of myself

There's a reoccurring theme that I keep thinking about lately. I'm not even sure how to put it into words. It has to do with the will to fight. It's about having this inner flame within you. To become more than you are. To never give up. To better yourself. to pursue your goals and passions with hard work, drive, discipline, consistency, and dedication. I want to be the very best version of myself.
