me is up to me

Reflecting back on 2018, I have learned that my life is up to ME! 

"Stop. Stop whining. Stop the self-pity. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop complaining. You want to have a good life? Then you go out there and make your life good! You want to be happy? Go out there and be happy. Smile.   If something bad happens and you feel like breaking down, then fine, break down. But make sure you don't stay down. Get back up. Put yourself together, and walk out with a smile on your face. You are strong enough. The only person that can decide what your life will be like is you. You are the only thing standing in your way! So stop waiting for a change, and go make one yourself."

God is not always going to carry me through life... He will always be right there to help, love and support but He's not [always] going to do everything for me. So I must "Pray like it all depends on the Lord, but work like it all depends on me."

Or as Stephen R. Covey always said:

After practicing my personal yoga, and implementing A LOT of mediation, these insights have come to me. For that, I am very grateful.
