Stay True to Yourself

Never take on someones else's problems and choices upon yourself. In other words: Don't take blame or feel guilt for the choices other people make. We all rise and fall in life. How you handle that raise and fall is up to you. You can guide people and try to help people but you can't make people see the light. You can only do that for yourself. Stay true to yourself in everything you do because its tough sometimes making good choices and being the good person. Sometimes you get hurt and that sucks but always remember especially when you are feeling your worse: It's always a means to an end. Everything happens for a reason. We never know in the mist of it what the reason is but we find out sooner or later. It's always revealed. If you can hold out that long you will feel relief.

Don't ever hold yourself back from feeling the emotions. Emotions are important. In some cases they remind us of what we should and should not do. Sometimes they remind us that we are human. They guide us on our way through life's experiences. Have you ever been heart broken? Remember how awful that felt? Because you felt it you worked harder at your next relationship or you searched for a different type. Over all you learned a lesson. Overall you may simply be grateful that you were loved. Whatever the feelings allow yourself to feel them. Then move on! Don't dwell! That's bad for you!

Finally, no matter what don't ever feel bad or allow someone else to make you feel bad for trying your hardest. Anything worth having is worth working hard for. Do your part and when you find you have done enough whether it's appreciated or not praise yourself for having the guts to put your emotions on the line. It takes bravery to do such a thing. Someone I admire once told a group of students that, "A hero is not brave because they don't get scared. They are brave because they face their fears." Always stand up for yourself no matter the consequences. Ultimately, feeling good about yourself is the most important thing and if you don't feel good about what you have done and how you have handled something fix it. However, if you did what you needed to do to stand up for yourself and someone feels the need to punish you for it. Let them go! It's not worth it! You are worth more than that!
