Even as I am racked with doubts over my life choices, I realized that I needed to cut myself some slack. I really feel like I have made the best decisions for my life considering the circumstances. I have been thoughtful and critical and weighed many options before I have committed to any decision or direction. I can no longer continue to constantly doubt myself. Life is too short and precious to spend most of it doubting yourself, thereby ensuring that you won't find happiness. I will not be open to opportunities that present themselves in the present if I am always focused on what I did wrong in the past or am always looking forward to the future. I need to focus intently on my present moment.
I have a lot of things to be grateful for, and I have chosen to focus on what I am doing right. I have altered my career path for the better. This is a very big leap in my life. I have decided to make my home as peaceful and pleasant a sanctuary as possible, beginning with me. This new attitude has really been helping my boyfriend and I begin to heal some deep relationship wounds. I am putting my family first. I make keeping in touch with my family and being there for them a priority in my life. And I am working on continually improving myself moment by moment to be the kind of person I can be proud of.
I also have a roof over my head, groceries in my refrigerator, and my boyfriend and I both have a source of income, and we aren't overburdened with financial obligations, so we are really A LOT better off than millions of people.
I have chosen to be content with the path I am on. I am taking responsibility for the choices I have made--and actually, it has taken a load off of my shoulders. I am focusing on my present, not doubting my past choices, and optimistic that the future will be bright.
