So as I read J.O this week, I think he was really calling me out on something.
In his book he talks about how you should not allow someone to make you angry in any way. When you wake up in the morning, you are supposed to wake up with joy in your heart. But of of course throughout the day someone may say something to you or do something to you that causes you to become angry, mad, irritated, or upset. You can not allow someone to steal your joy away from you.
I'm definitely guilty of this, especially one person in particular in my life that has been constantly stealing my joy and I have allowed that! So no more!
J.O. also made mention that you dont need to seek approval from anyone. Now I really needed to hear this because I have been trying to gain the approval of this particular person for the longest and I have now realized that no matter what I do this person will always have something to say, so why am I trying to seek approval from you or for anyone? So I am done with that and the only approval I will be seeking is my own!
Have you been allowing someone or something to steal your joy?
Or what about trying to gain someone else's approval?
Think about it...then change it. Your joy is what keeps you going everyday and without it your mind and soul is brought down tremendously. Remember you won't be able to please everyone, so please yourself.
Stay (I)nspired, Misha J
