Dear Self,
I want you to know that I empathize with you. There are many days when I wish I was not influenced by the petty tyrants in my life, and I wish I were further ahead. That is when it is important to realize all that has been poured into you, and to proceed with great self-respect.
The enduring wisdom is unalterable: one’s world reflects whatever the mind harbors. What you can alter is the focus of your own mind. Harbor constructive thoughts. Grow your wisdom. Deepen your faith.
Set the despairing thoughts aside. Press forward with great self-respect.
The truth of the matter is that sometimes it is difficult to become removed from the clutches of being with the wrong job, or place, or people. The truth is that you have grown beyond the point where this job, that context, and those people seemed “right”. Some pools are hard to climb out of. Don’t confuse that difficulty with your right to extract yourself, or the probability of your eventual success and happiness.
When you “get” what I am telling you, you will open to the small moments of peace and happiness that are yours, now, today, even in the stuck place. Focus on those!
Set the despairing thoughts aside. Press forward with great self-respect.
I believe in the leader you are becoming. Reconnect with me whenever you wish to be.
Love
