Listen to yourself. There is no one who knows you better. I find that most of the time my first instinct is the right choice or the right decision. It is when I doubt myself that I end up compromising; which leads me to do something that I don't want to do. When you ignore you basic instinct, you are ignoring a part of you. You are essentially telling a part of you that you are not good enough. So listen to that little voice.
Like yesterday for example, I was going to write a post for day twenty-seven, but my heart wasn't in it. I tried to put my fingers on the keyboard, but I knew that whatever I wrote, it wouldn't be genuine. I like to be authentic. I like being authentic. It wasn't always like this . When you lack confidence you are short changing yourself. So make sure that the time is right and be honest.
There are going to be times in this world, many many times that you are going to hurt someones feelings. Remember that that is not a reflection on you, it is a reflection on them. They need to look closely at themselves and figure out why, when you do not do what they want, why is it their issue. That is not on you.
I know it sounds harsh, but one of the reasons that I believe that there are so many neurotic people out there is that they haven't learned how to say no, but more importantly, why saying no is crucial to your well being. If of course it is something that you do not want to do. You need to look out for yourself. Am I saying to be completely selfish, no, I am not. What I am saying is that it is okay to say no once in a while. Sometimes your dependability is something of a crutch for others and their reliance on you is actually crippling them.
People need to learn how to cope without having someone else assist. You need to know how to take care of yourself. Once you have mastered that, you are able to be completely okay and honest with everyone with whom you interact.
