Behind the 8 Ball

Instead of waiting for the day when you can say, "I don't care," release the pain today by saying, "I care. I'm just not going to let it bother me anymore."

Instead, try to figure out something that you CAN do, independent of anyone else's decision or power. If you can't think of anything, then focus on other things that are positive, and only deal with this when it needs to be dealt with, which is not 24/7.

Recognize your own worth and you won't be drawn to those who don't see it.  -Doe Zantamata Always be aware of your feelings. They are the voice of your intuition…your inner truth.  A lot of times in relationships, people are very happy and excited to be in something new, and are very complimentary and notice all the good little things.

If you notice not feeling right, don't second guess yourself or talk yourself out of it. Reflect on that feeling and what it means to you.  There are some people who feel that once a person is "hooked," they do...

For some reason, some great people bring out the worst in each other. They love each other, but just can't get along. Sometimes counseling helps, or it was just a stressful time because of outside influences, but other times, no matter what they do, the relationship just doesn't work. Often, we think that as long as we love someone, we should keep on trying to make it work, to be with them. But this isn't always true.

Self Worth

Without self-worth: "I'm doing my best and they don't like me. What's wrong with me?" With self-worth: "I'm doing my best, and they don't like me. What's wrong with them?" Remember, it's not called, "That person's approval-worth," it's called "self-worth." When you approve of yourself, you lose the need to prove it to anyone else. -Doe Zantamata
