I have learned numerous lessons while trying to conquer the world by myself. Now before you starting thinking too much about that statement and say, “Why do you need to do it yourself?” Of course you can “try” and count on others for your success and happiness, but I have found that when we start to count on others for our success and/or happiness, we seem to blame them for our disappointments or growth.

I’m not saying we have to go through life not depending on others for our feelings, but if we become disappointed in someone for events that we didn’t want to happen, is it really that person’s fault? We have a choice on the feelings we feel. These feelings are great lessons to learn from. When you become sad, upset, or angry….Look at who all is involved, is this person(s) good for you to be around? How many times has your mood changed and the same person/people are around you?

The reason I say we are a one man/woman band is because, we can only blame ourselves for the way people treat us. We make excuses to forgive them when we really need to look in the mirror and say, “I deserve better than this feeling I am having.” Do not make excuses for them or for yourself for your mood and behavior….. Change you life so you are with people who bring out the best in you and make you happy, because then, and only then, can you wake up each day feeling good about yourself.

Don’t isolate yourself because you feel no one can make you smile, there are millions of people out there that want the same thing you are looking for. Positive people draw positive people and negative people draw negative people to one another. Your mood is up to you. You are the lead singer… Build an amazing band behind you.

Trust the Journey,
