I just read back to when I last posted. I will tell myself a lot of what I've read above. It's better than what I could think of myself.

di, i had a dream about that i was at the beach participating in a surf exercise/competition...it took me for-ever to finally get my board to the surf. I would not give up! When i finally reached the surf, the wave were huge and breaking wildly right on the shoreline. I remember thinking, "oh for God's sake..." while thinking "how am I going to get thru THAT?!"

Refusing to give up
Thanks for this!

Today, I will tell myself-- remind myself-- as I have posted this before--- positive thinking can go a long way, however I will add-- to be realistic with the positive thinking, and realistic does not mean to be pessimistic.. Don't expect too much but yet do not expect nothing...

Also I will tell myself, don't give up on flow just due to I seem to be able to only apply it out of no where times... if I can apply Flow at times, perhaps I can figure out a way to channel it when needing too- I am sure a difficult task for a me... but a possibility of it as well,... perhaps it is all in the thoughts while doing something?

Also telling myself, that the above blurb, i did tonight again at work--- however, I am now feeling doubtful with the achievement of it due to it will not be appreciated, however with saying that -- I realize, that is crushing flow, no after thoughts perhaps with flow is the way that I need to be? Due to at the time of doing what I did, i was not thinking of praises or being yelled at about it, I was just doing due to I knew I could, why not, and just did... but after words-- realized that it is something that I don't get paid to do either, as well as someone else sees it as stepping on their toes as well... oh well i say, if that is how they see it instead of me trying to be helpful- that is their problem-- I know my attention at the time were none of the such.

I will also tell myself today, as we all know, it is difficult to live in a world with others... however, as long as I can still look at myself in the mirror each day-- the others do not really matter now do they? (well except for the love ones others-- but ya know what i mean right, the others out there---)

For beauflow: You are not so lost. Doing good is always good.

I never expect anyone to notice or acknowledge anything I might do that is 'over and above' what is normally called-for. I have learned that in seeking that, I will only be disappointed. Instead, I've found much more peace in just letting it 'be'. No one ever has to notice. That way, I am not strung-out, waiting for something that never comes, and I save myself disappointment & possible resentment, as well---both terribly toxic emotions for me. It might be a Zen thing, or a deeply Christian thing, or even something else---either way, I've just given myself over to much healthier ways of thinking by embracing that approach.

----------------------------------

And, today, I'm gonna tell myself: Just LOOK at what you've gotten through. You did it, you made it this far. And it hasn't destroyed you, no matter what they've thrown your way.

I need to cling to this, today.
