Rambling Mess of Sense

I truly believe that you make your life what it is. I realized this concept back in 2006 when I picked up the book The Secret. I might drive people in my life crazy with my positivity and always looking at the bright side of things....even in the darkest moments, but I believe that this attitude is what makes my life so wonderful.

Don't get me wrong, life is far from perfect for me.  But thankfully I have learned through reading amazing books from people like Jim Rohn that we set our sail.  The same winds blow on us all.... honestly, the rich experience the same things as the poor.  The happy experience the same things as the unhappy.  The thing is, when that wind hits you, YOU have to choose how you react to it and how you embrace it into your life.  

I know people that are from my past read my blog {hello blog tracker - kinda creepy that I have stalkers from the past}, and I'm sure they're going to read this and frankly I don't care.  I have experienced extreme disappointment from MANY people in my life.  And due to that I hold a nice wall perfectly around my heart.  I don't let many people close to me, because amazingly when I do they can't appreciate my honesty, and I'm only honest because I love them.  I can't stand their negativity and I have had to learn how to close my ear to it, because I love my life and I know if I focus on the bad things in life... more bad will come.  I can't stand their excuses.... every excuse you give to prevent you from growing as a person and stepping outside of your comfortable little world is only hurting you.  

Some of the closest people in my life are no longer in my life, and guess what.... it's the negative people, the miserable people, the people who can't stand the positive outlook I see on things.  People, come on!  Complain about being broke over and over and over again without doing a damn thing to do something about it gets really old.  These past few days I've actually reflected on some of my relationships with people who are SUPPOSED to be unconditionally there.  I've thought hard about what good things they've brought to my life and you know what, I can't think of 1 thing.  I think about my phone conversations with these people and holy negative!  

So, yes, this was one rambling mess, but I'm actually extremely happy with the people that are in my life, the people who are not in my life and what I am doing with my life.  

And for you amazing special people that are so close to me and have an amazing, positive imprint on my life I love you, and YOU KNOW WHO ARE!  Yes, Celeste, you're included!  You have become one of my very best friends and I couldn't imagine my life without you ~ we HAVE to always be next door neighbors....
