WHO ARE YOU?
"The torment that so many young women know, bound hand and foot by love and motherhood, without having forgotten their former dreams."
~Simone de Beauvoir
As women, most of us are raised with a limited amount of direction. Developing ourselves is not about who ware but who we want to attract to spend our lives with. eyedelon believes the focus of maturity should be developing our individuality and embracing our uniqueness. It is an integral part of living a happy and satisfying life. So today take some time and do the list. It is never too late. A male friend once said his greatest joy in life was growing up with a dream and having it come to fruition. He is at peace and satisfied with his life. I can't say the majority of women I know can say that. More than anything eyedelon wants them to feel that satisfaction. This list is the key to doing just that.
THE LIST!!!
What you need:
All you need is a pencil, paper, and some quiet time.
What you do:
Make two columns.
Label the Left side "THINGS I DO NOT LIKE"
Label the Right side "THINGS I DO LIKE"
Start writing and you have to be honest or this will not work.
Your likes and dislikes can be anything... food, music, activities, qualities, colors, words, books, etc.
When you feel satisfied, read both sides.
How do you feel when you read the right side?
How do you feel when you read the left?
Now look at each list and add people to the list.
People you list on the right should be people you share those interests, characteristics, activities, etc. with.
Do the same on the left.
What this exercise will reveal to you:
Now look at each side, where is the majority of your life revolving, right or left?
Living on the left side of the list will bring negativity and conflict to you. Also being surrounded by people who share the left side of your list will never bring you success.
Living on the right side of your list will bring you peace and happiness. Make an effort to concentrate your activities, friends, employment, around the right side of your list. Enjoying the things and people that you love everyday can do nothing but feed you and your success.
Do this list with your children. Find out who they are and help direct them to their likes and away from their dislikes. Not only will they develop a sense of direction but they will feel their importance in this world and have a greater respect for their lives and others.
