Life

I can feel your fear scared, to walk out your door afraid of what, people are thinking what do they think of me, the fear mounts Yet what does it matter what they think, they are strangers their thoughts have little affect on your life People will like you people will hate you you can't please, all the people so let go of your fear, live for yourself What do you like about life what do you enjoy perhaps each day, is full of self doubt fear and anxiety, playing through your mind Head to the second hand book shops pick up books about jokes read the jokes, allow yourself to laugh replace your fears with laughter Granted there will be days of pain days where you have to face your problems yet the more we laugh the more we enjoy life you can set yourself tasks tasks to improve your life learn to play a musical instrument learn to build a career Learn to overcome, that alcohol problem learn to beat, that drug problem you can do it, the only person, that limits you, is you, you have the strength, to beat yourself The only drink, you have to beat, is the first one if you never have, that first drink you overcome, your alcohol problem the same goes for drugs, yes it's hard but it can be done self talk and fear, can destroy your effort sometimes the fear of failure, stops your effort afraid of not succeeding, you give up trying yet, that's when you need to develop, positive self encouragement, tell yourself, I can do this tell yourself time and time again give yourself rewards, a small chocolate bar, that special cd, a picnic at the park Family might have lost faith in you, but learn to build faith, in yourself with each success, your confidence grows don't let others, destroy faith in yourself build your sense of humor the more you enjoy live the more your attitude attracts other people Laugh and the world laughs with you cry and you cry alone learn to keep yourself out of debt granted it easy to get loans but ounce, you are in debt paying those never ending bills, that depressing, when week after week, you fight, to climb above that debt Stop blaming others, stop getting onto the round about of arguments your parents did not force you, to take drugs the more we accept responsibility the more we realize, we control our life the more we control ourselves the better life, we can create for ourselves

Great words. The more we live our lives, the better we'll feel about ourselves. Life can be rough, but in the end, we write our own stories.
