Father Knows Best

For one reason or another, I've allowed life to zap me of my positivity and energy recently. It's all been quite subtle. But I've noticed that I've been looking through the lense of a woman who seems to be losing the ability to stay on top of things and allowing every day life to get me down.

I guess there's been times when I've been punching above my weight. Taking on board too many projects and stressing out over unnecessary details. I've also not asked for help when I need help and I know help's out there but I've just been 'too proud to beg'. I've been giving advice and not taking any and worst still not taking any of my own advice. What a silly mare! Oh and I've been calling myself derogatory names like 'silly mare'

NOT GOOD.

So this afternoon, I decided to cry on the shoulder of my dad. He's the kind of man who hasn't got much time for self-pity and foolishness and he wasted no time getting to the point and he simply said:

Even if things don't turn out the way you expected, don't get depressed or give up on striving for what you really want from life. If you continue to move forward using all the excellent tools you already have, you'll get the life you deserve in the end.

Well said dad!
