Time flies. I can't believe I'm already half way through week 11. I have one more week to go, and I still have so much I feel that I need/want to learn about myself. New discoveries are happening quickly and at a rate that I haven't felt in a long time. My sense of patience has multiplied a thousand fold and for that I am truly thankful. I feel more empathy, compassion, and love, not only for other people, but also for myself. I don't know why I'm so hard on myself and why I feel the need to meet everyone else's needs, but not my own. At what point did I decide that I should come in second place in my own life? More then once I've had someone say sarcastically, "And you're so humble too." In actuality, I am rather humble, but if you don't pat yourself on the back everyone now and again, or be your own biggest fan, how can you expect anyone else to? I guess that sort of is the same as, "if you don't love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?"
I've finished all the tasks for week 11, which is great for me. All too often I've been running around Saturday and Sunday trying my best to get everything around. This weeks chapter was all about picking yourself up when you feel thrown down. It's exactly what I needed this week too. In a sense, I feel kicked to the curb and I needed a reminder to stand back up and keep walking. The chapter challenges you to ask, "What's next", instead of, "Why me". It also challenges you to look for a lesson in what's going on, instead of just assuming that you are not in control of anything that is happening in your life.
Well, what's next?
