Save Yourself

A recent epiphany that I had was the only person that is going to save me is me. I am the owner of my life and have control of my actions and reactions. I have the power to be someone else completely or I also have the ability to stay exactly the same. Either way I am in charge of the direction that my life goes.

Granted there are some things that are out of my control completely. I have no control of the actions of others or the weather outside. However, I do have control of the way that I handle life’s curve balls.

Being able to regulate and process emotions is a powerful tool that takes a lot of practice to be able to master. High emotional intelligence opens doors to building and keeping relationships and ultimately growing as a person.

In my opinion using the phrase “save yourself” is not in a negative manner. Rather it means being my biggest cheerleader, making sure I am giving myself that love and care that will allow me to share my own love with others. Saving myself also means sticking to my plans and investing time into myself especially in my interests and hobbies. There will not always be someone there to encourage me to live life so I know I have to have it in myself to motivate myself to live life.

Life moves terribly fast and there is so much to experience so save yourself and live your life, enjoying every aspect. The good, the bad and the ugly. And remember when you are going through hell keep going because why would you stop in hell? that doesn’t make sense.
