Hard Decisions

In our lives we must make hard decisions.  These decisions can make or break us, but it doesn't make it any easier to make them.   This last week I have made some bigger decisions.  I am setting goals to follow my dreams.  I know the road ahead is rough, but it is well worth the journey to know for once I really am where I am meant to be.

In order to truly be me I have to make sure that I follow the person I am.  Somewhere along my life's journeyI chose to hide who I was. I try to act like it doesn't matter when people comment on my weight, my attitude, or my flaws, but truly apart of me dies each time.  100% of the reason I am the way I am is because I chose to allow people's opinion be my beliefs and views of myself.  Luckily for me Heavenly Father put some pretty amazing people in my life to help me change it.

I am beautiful.  Yeah I have some extra weight on me,  but I am so much more then the weight.  I have amazing eyes that show my soul, beautiful lips that help support and encourage, strong arms to hold up a friend, strong shoulders to carry the weight of the world, and an overall amazing body that houses the wonderful true me.

My attitude..well that makes me the me I enjoy.  I have my good attitudes and my not so good attitudes.  My good attitude pushes me to be more then I ever thought I could be, helps others to smile, and pushes others along the way.  My bad holds me and others back.  I am consistantly improving that aspect of me as well.

My flaws are my flaws.  I am here on this earth to work on them.  It takes time to buff out the flaws.  The point is I am working on the flaws that I need to work on.  They are mine and with the help of the Lord I will finally be able to overcome each of them.

No longer will I forget these important truths.  No longer will I allow others the power.  I will continue with the strength I have in the Lord to be the me I want to be and know I am.   Today I made a hard decision.  Although I know it was the right thing it still sucks.  I will be okay and I know others will be okay to.  Hard decisions sometimes suck, but they also give us the greater push to overcome!

  2. No it doesn't define us. Not even people define us. We define who we are.
