First thought of the day
Published on January 24, 2005 By jesseledesma In Personal Relationships
This may sound phony. However, our first thought, when we wake up should be " Do I like myself?"


We are going to go out and confront life and our spirit is what is going to get us through it. If we do not like ourselves, how are we going to make it?


Well it is going to be rather hard. Every negative thought is going to keep weighing on you until you are completely frustrated and exhausted.


Therefore, consider your true-life experience. How bad can your life really be. You have a home, food eat, and means to earn a living.


Now it may be possible that you do not have a job. Well those are easy to get. The first step is to apply. Of course, remember to go looking your best.


In life it is always better is you approach the every day routine with a healthy and nurturing attitude.


Be optimistic about yourself. Praise your self for the good person you are. Do things that give you pleasure and do not complicate your life.


Stop worrying about the world. Do what you can where you can, but do not obsess on everything that is wrong in society. No one person is going to solve the problems of society.


Therefore, have a healthy perspective about your compassion.


It is not hard to enjoy your life. I have written before on the value of good friends and family. They are very important in having a rewarding and enjoyable life.


There are also many things around us we can enjoy. In addition, every one has personal interest. Being an adult, with job responsibilities, does not mean that we stop living.


The reason we come home burned out and with any spirit to live is that we not living according to our natural spirit. We as an organism want excitement, adventure, recreation, love, companionship, and much, much more.


Moreover, we can have it. The first step is to know who we are, what interest us, and what are true resources at our disposal.


We also have to keep in mind that human relations are the result of our contribution and the other person. I make this statement because most of our turmoil in life comes from social interaction.


I think it is better to have personal standards that we are not willing to compromise. We should realize that we do not have the right to tell any one how to live their life.


Therefore, all we can do is live our lives and be respectful of others.


In this living, we are going to desire to be embraced, kissed, and met with eye contact.


Now some people do not know how to be involved in a relationship. Many think it is about the physical mechanics. Well get over yourselves.


Your mate is asking you for he or she wants. If you do not know how to be loving, caring, and sharing, cut it out.


It is not their fault that you are an intimacy misfit. Moreover, our hang-ups are the easiest to get over with if we are willing.


The easiest thing to do in this world is to love another person.


Staying hidden in our on mental hide out is only going to lead to an empty life. Therefore, if you have someone in your life, get in touch with that person and become an active part of their life, before you end up dumped or divorced, crying over what you lost.
