Thursday Thought

So I didn't blog again yesterday. That's two Wednesdays in a row. Which means....I don't like Wednesday Word. So i'm changing it. To what? That I don't exactly know. I'll get back to ya. ;)

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
---Eleanor Roosevelt

How often do we let others. . . .control our lives. Our
thoughts. Our feelings. Even our actions. It's pathetic, but
we are all guilty of it in some way shape or form. We have all
succumbed to the pressure of letting the way someone else thinks
of us alter how we view ourselves. Why? Well, who really knows?
If we knew the answer to that question, we probably would not let
ourselves do it in the first place. I mean, this issue can easily
go back to stereotypes. Being a cheerleader, I have learned
this in my own life. People generally view cheerleaders
as stuck-up, high maintenance, unintelligent, trashy,
girls who care about nothing but themselves, what
is happening in Hollywood, boys, and the mall.
So I tend to think people see me as some
of those things even though I know that
they aren't true. But not everyone
sees me as things. I did it
to myself. And I think
that we are all
guilty of
this.

So here is the lesson....YOU are in control of your own life. You decide who you are and you demand respect for that. Don't let the fact that someone else thinks you aren't nice, or smart, or skinny change how you really feel about yourself. Do YOU think you're smart? If the answer is yes, then you ARE in fact smart. What others think doesn't matter.

Life is a mental battle. The majority of all we feel is mental. That goes for both the physical and the emotional. Someone doesn't make you mad. You CHOOSE to be mad about what they said or did. Same theory. So be in control of yourself and your own thoughts. Don't let someone else dictate your life or shape your mental view of yourself. If you get hurt by something someone said about you, it's because you let it hurt you. Be confident. It's one of the hardest tasks to accomplish today. But it can be done. :]]

P.S. --- Thanks Nat. I figured you copied me a bit...I could copy you. Love yous.
