Change Starts With Me

I believe Lao Tzu was right.  In order to change the world for the better, I must start with self-transformation.

It seems Mahatma Gandhi had the same idea.

He said "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

 

I think that these two were onto something.

(AHA Moment)

So let me get this straight,

I have to change the way I feel about myself

by learning to love all that is me unconditionally,

accept who I really am, and become

consciously aware of my existence.

In turn, this will give me the confidence
and freedom, for me to develop the ability to

positively influence the people around me.

(Self-Realization Kicks In)

 

Change in the world really does start with me.

 (AHA Moment #2)
 

I will take the necessary actions to

accept every aspect of my being.

I deserve to be loved by me.

I must take care of me first.

This in turn will make me able to take

 care of others effectively.

Change will be accepted by the world.

 

I know that loving myself will bring me inner peace,

therefore improving my existence,

making me a good example to follow. 

 

Change will have a genuine impact on the world.

Now the work begins. 
It is going to be tough for me.
Yet, I know that this is something
I need now more than ever.
Negativity, be gone!
No more apologies for who I am.
I am me.
I can truly make a difference
in the world around me.

Love will be my gift to the world.

Let the transformation begin!

**Desired Outcome**
If I love myself, the world will love me back

Plan B

Day 5 of the 30 Day Blog-a-Day Challenge

 I am officially putting together a Plan B in

case my primary plan: Expecting a Miracle,

doesn't work out right away. If you don't know

by now, my car died, my living situation

is less than ideal, and my life just sucks. 

Now I can choose the sit back miserably,

do nothing, and wait for the miracle or

I can choose to do something about

my miserable excuse for a life.

But I need to go easy on myself because

change can be very difficult and not

 to mention scary as hell, especially

since I lack patience, motivation,

and plagued by fear of failure. 

I am doomed before I can ever begin again

.

Time for some tough self-love:

Suck it up Jamie, Get Yourself Together,

and Just Do What You Need to do.

Well said, I might add!

My pep talk
(disguised as
an affirmation)
 is now session:

With that done and said, here is what I have come up so far.

Plan B, "My Life Revised":  A Work in Progress

***First and for most, I need a car. 

With no support financially and bad credit,

I have to come up with the money for a down

payment and sales tax. I have $500 need about $200 more.

I will take $100 from each of my next two paychecks

then maybe by July 19, I can get my car.

Flawless, maybe but can I wait that long?

***Secondly, I will focus on ways to leave
 my unhealthy environment behind for good.
I will research resources to help me with
first months rent and deposit. 

***Thirdly, I am revamping my whole financial
situation by writing up a budget, finding ways
to spend less and to cut costs, to
start an online store, and to file
bankruptcy, if needed.

WHEW! That should keep me busy!
