Today's Reflection... You know this mornings reflection reminds me of the many faces we wear when telling our story.. some of us can tell it with an honest look inside.. while others wear a mask that keeps us in that spot we are in.. ___________________________________________ I will realize my own worth when I accept... the story I tell is the story I live. Excuse me, but nobody wants to hear your story again! No one wants to be rude, but you've been telling everyone and anyone who would listen whey you did not, could not, have not, moved beyond the situation you are in and say you no longer want to be in. Quite frankly, no one wants to hear about it anymore. It seems as if you have been trying to convince others and yourself that something or someone other than you is responsible for all that you have and have not done to move yourself beyond this predicament. No one is convinced by what you are saying! Obviously, neither are you! Perhaps that's why you keep telling that sad story, the sob story, the ticky-tacky dramatized version of your life. Enough! Your villain is not bad enough to do all the things you say have been done to you! Your central theme is missing! Your plots and subplots are tangled! As a matter of fact, your story sounds more like one big, fat excuse than a reasonable explanation! It sounds like you are telling the story you hope will excuse away your fear and your failure to take responsibility for making your life what you want it to be. Credit must be given when credit is due. You tell a good story! Action-packed! Full of adventure! Plenty of victims needing to be rescued! However, since only you can determine your own sense of worth, here is a suggestion for you: REWRITE YOUR STORY! This time, please don't start with "Once upon a time!" Until today, you may have been telling the same old story about yourself and your life. You may have been making excuses, trying to convince yourself that something or someone has been holding you back. Just for today, be committed to telling yourself a new story. You can begin by writing one that starts with the words Today I am... Be creative and continue from there. Today I am devoted to taking the time to re-write my story! ______________________________________________ At first when I read that.. I went WOW! Ouch! That's pretty harsh words there.. but as I read it again.. I realized that .. working on self worth is not an easy task.. and so many times we keep OURSELVES in that poor me role.. or perhaps we think the only way to 'win' people over is to stay in a spot that we feel helpless.. do you really want someone to rescue you? When reading this.. it came to mind that.. the author is really trying to put responsibility of our life where it belongs.. with one's self. I don't know about you..but gosh.. I hope in my journey and process through life.. my Backbone is always intact.. so I may stand up and be responsible for my life..day after day.. Thanks for reading.. Have a great day.. Gina   ___________ Find the humor each day holds.... Gina |

This is a great reflexion. I honestly believe that there are a lot of people who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. I think the world would be a much better place if we all did.

Gina, The day you decide to stop being a victim is the day you start rewriting your story.

Hi Gina, What a wonderful post! It is so very true. Only we have the power to rewrite the story and make changes and move forward. Yes, if we keep telling the same story, people will tire of it. We must first seek strength from the Lord and with that all is possible. Have a great weekend, Aloha, Anne
