Denise and I have a new mantra. To be used whenever you experience a hurt or disappointment, or if someone lets you down or pisses you off. Or any other negative situation.
“Just keep working on yourself.”
It doesn’t mean that you won’t hurt or you won’t cry or you won’t feel disappointed or sad or whatever you’re feeling. Nope. You’ll still probably go through those emotions.
But.
It’s like the grown-up version of picking yourself up and brushing yourself off after you’ve fallen off your bike as a kid. You might still be sniveling and snarfing, but you pick yourself up and brush off the hurt as best as you can and keep on keeping on.
Just keep working on yourself.
Because when you keep working on yourself, you do become stronger over time and even when things hurt, you learn to pick yourself up a little bit faster and with a little less pain and resistance to moving on. It becomes easier to accept the things that others dole out, and to let things roll off your back like butter on a hot teflon pan. Plus it helps you to focus on you and your growth and what you need, not to the offending party who may have done you wrong.
When people disappoint or when life in general kinda blows, just keep working on yourself.
Say it to yourself like a mantra.
Just keep working on yourself. Just keep working on yourself. Just keep working on yourself.
Trust me…it helps. Give it a try.
Timely.
No kidding. Was using it profusely last night, which is why I decided to write about it!
It’s worth a try….thanks
