what would you do?

[sabrina]

You have always lived your life the way other's want you to and now you've had just about enough because you realize that you're not happy, you're not doing what you want to do. So what do you do, your passion is going back to school for a career that in the long run will prove to be beneficial to you and your children, but others are telling you to get a job something that you know won't make you happy because it's not what you want to do if it's possible you can work and go to school at the same time but there are others telling NO! Get a job. So what do you do what makes you happy, or do you continue doing what makes others happy even if it means you being unhappy and possibly your children as well?

"Do You" - to quote Russell Simmons

[Tanya]

We must create the life we want for ourselves first. I think that is we do what brings us joy and makes us strong...we are more able to share and give to others without depleting our spirits and energy. A happy Mom has more positivity to spread. Who are the others that we are trying to please. We must ask...Do these "others" add to the quality of our lives? I have learned the hard way that is is critical for my daughters to see me vibrant, healthy and happy. I am determined to do whatever it takes to stay in a positive happy place. I believe that we create our reality by the thoughts and feelings we hold. Happiness attracts happiness. Natural Law. Do You!

Hi Sabrina,
I have been having the same types of thoughts and feelings lately. It seems like everyone has a "opinion" of what you should be doing and how to do it. I just started to really realize that it should be about me. It is truly impossible to make everyone happy all of the time so why not make your happiness and what makes you comfortable the number one priority? Why should you not be happy? Don't you deserve it? Life is too short not to enjoy it. At the end of the day do not make others happy at the expense of losing yourself. Go for your dreams. Just take it one day, one hour , one minute at a time.

Wow, now if I can just follow my own advice :)

Someone once told me to not let people SHOULD on me. In other words people are always telling us what we should do. The only voice we need to listen to is the voice of God - only He knows what is best for you. Pray for guidance and allow Him to order your steps.

Here's a secret... You have a purpose. Instead of giving others the power of what you are to do with your life...ask God to guide you. Read Jeremiah 29:11-14

Sabrina, You must realize that people enter our lives for many reasons, however whether they stay in our lives is up to us. Sometimes in life when you are at your worst , and not achieving your goals the more "friends" you seem to have. The moment you decide to express your dreams and make plans to broaden your horizons, your "friends" seem to dwindle. That's when you will know that you are doing the right thing. The road to great things can become lonely as you make your way up, but trust me there are many more waiting for you when you make it. Live your life so that you can be proud of you first and foremost, seek God in all your decisions and he will surely guide you.............

We only get one life. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow's not promised all we have is today! My thoughts to you my sister, is to first "count the cost", by your own assessment. Consider whether you have the energy, finances and time to accomplish your goal. Only when you've prayed about it and feel at peace in your heart that you possess the determination to bring this to pass.....with you whole heart go for it! Remember, all we have is today....yesterday's gone and tomorrow isn't promised. You're in my prayers! Stephanie

Hello I saw this and wanted to get in on this discussion. I had the same problem two years ago. I was under my mother and grandmother's control for I don't know how long. I had them telling me I could not do certain jobs that I applied for and I could do certain programs in school because I did not have the study skills. I also had them tell me that I wasn't capable of raising my child by myself. After a while I got tired of being their puppet. I did things because that is what they wanted me to do not because I wanted to do them. I finally left my hometown and moved to another city 2 hrs away. Not saying that you have to do the same thing but you need a piece of mind and quiet. In order to make the decisions best for you and your children you have to block out them and what is right for you and your kids. Believe me ever since I left I feel relieved that I can think for a change and I am living my life for me and my child. I don't let them know the moves I am making I keep them wondering. It took time and a few obstacles but I am getting on my feet. And you can do the same just stay focused on you and your children and what you want.
