I heard a great phrase today.........
"There is Always light at the end of the tunnel.........and it's probably from an oncoming train!!!":D
I just thought it was brilliant! Isn't it just how we think and what we expect from life? It made me laugh!:D
We always expect things to stay bad or get worse because we've always been treated badly in the past so expect the same things to happen in the future! We always seem to overlook the good things in our past and the good things we have.
One of my fathers comments when asked how he was feeling was "Not bad!" Never "on top of the world" or "I feel Great....isn't life fun!"
I can't judge though because I'm just like he was! Always seeking perfection and never totally satisfied with myself or with my life.
We're always so harsh on ourselves and yet so praising of others. We can never see the good in us because we always expect perfection from ourselves.
Perfectionism rules our lives. We have to get everything "just right". Perfectionism causes us so much pressure and stress yet we can't let go and ease up on ourselves.
Perfectionism can be a good quality to have, used in the correct way. We can use it as determination and willpower to succeed providing we focus on what we Do achieve and not on the things "not quite right". We should seek to constantly achieve goals but not focus on our failings.
We should praise ourselves more, not punish ourselves for not being perfect!
Perfectionism can be our ally or our foe. We can praise ourselves for our achievements or beat ourselves up for our failings.
We can always expect the train as the light in the tunnel believing things will always be hopeless because our hopes have always been crushed in the past or we can keep "hope" close to us believing things can get better..........but we need to learn to be patient with ourselves, and love ourselves First reminding ourselves we Always do "our Best".:hugs:
