Okay, so we've looked at the value of having confidence in your own abilities, we've looked at what happens when you really, really start believing in yourself.
The final part of this trifecta of postings is about the infinite value of having a positive attitude with how you relate to yourself.
A Positive Self-Talk Life
If I say to you the words "talk to yourself" what are some of your more immediate responses?
I'm betting not many of them are positive, right?
Why? Because popular film and television culture says that the person that talks to themselves must be mad, right?
Right?
But what if I told you that I'm talking here to you with no guarantees that anybody is actually reading these words on a screen?
Does that make me mad?
Living This Crazy Life is Easy
Anybody who knows me will know that I'm not like your average Joe and in fact you can argue that somewhere along the way of my upbringing, I kind of deviated from the norm as far as society is concerned.
In fact, you might say I'm a little bit wacky (ED - alright, come on now, TLP! You are more than just a little wacky!)!
It's like I always say; you cannot stay on the sane train if you've lived the life that I have lived these thirty four and almost a half years! :-D
I think it's pretty obvious by now that I am seriously an opinionated individual, right?
I use this blog to get my words down so that I can see just where I am coming from and hope to learn from them.
Just like I have learned from what my... friend... said to me not so long ago!
He's made it clear that he does not approve of what I am doing and he has tried to cast me off on more than one occasion so that he can run his own race, which is fine because right now I need nobody else!
I'm not saying I'm not to blame, I am in part, I see that now because nobody likes to be around a person who is always negative all the time.
That is why I became sporadic with my attendance at church because I knew just how bummed out I was becoming since my crush told me that she doesn't like me that way, which I kind of forced her into saying if I'm honest.
Why?
Because I can be a persistent little beggar when I want to and believe you me, I wanted to know her better than I already do.
I still do, but it's not my main focus anymore.
I'm continuing writing on this blog and I hope you can begin to see now why I have been as persistent as I have with my postings; I'm trying to bleed the poison that is my depression out of my system.
The good news though is that I have not seen it since last Thursday evening, so we're almost coming up to a week and no sign of it!
Talk to Yourself to See Yourself
But what I'm really getting at today is the fact that all of this potential "self-talk" that I'm engaging in whilst writing upon here, it's starting to have an effect on me as a person.
It helps me see just whether I am practising what I am preaching because to not do that would make me a hypocrite.
Sometimes you have to write things down, but sometimes you just have to listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth to see just how far off slant you are going.
You might not be going off course, but equally you might and until you catch yourself saying things that just are not you, then nothing will change for the better.
Final Thought
So, having written these three posts for you to read, or not, depending on whether my existential comment from a little earlier in today's post has had an effect, I am looking forward to see what the future holds for me.
I know I have a date with the most amazing young woman coming up in the future at some point.
However, it's only one piece to my future though, one tiny and almost insignificant piece if I continue to do what I'm doing and look at my cross!
Don't ask me who, how, why or when because I cannot answer all of that as it's all a mystery right now. Well, alright, it's not a mystery but I've got to wait, play my cards close to my chest and see what happens with life.
Always remember to be listening to the words that you are saying in order for you to catch yourself in either: -
- a lie (as in making a factually inaccurate statement about yourself); or
- speaking negatively over your future
You reap what you sow and I would rather have positive things coming my way as much as possible, wouldn't you?
Watch the skies!
