Ugh!

I am crawling my way to the top and all I see are the possibilities and the opportunities that are coming my way.  I think that once a person realizes that you can achieve endless goals you can either get support from them or the complete opposite from them.  The praises feel good but when you feel someone is trying to keep you down that pressure starts to weigh you down.

I see it like this, whatever I am doing whether it fits a person's approval or not, why should anyone try to step in and change that person's path?  Some people have good intentions and want nothing but success and learning from their mistakes is important but constructive criticism is different from belittling someone.

I am just so tired of negativity and I am also glad that I have managed my stress in a healthy way by working out.  I recently decided to stop drinking for various reason for awhile  but my one of my reasons is that I do not want to use my frustrations as an excuse to drink.  I do not want to develop bad habits when problems happen in my life.  Learning how to cope, deal and face my frustrations is better for me than to run away from them.

All I can do is keep looking up and hope that there is better for me.  Sometimes, when in a slump, you feel as though no one is listening or that no one cares.  In my situation, I have had friends show up unexpectedly and tell me that everything will be alright.  I needed that.

Life is a bumpy road and I feel like I am driving with a blindfold on but taking a break to realize that there is nothing but happiness ahead of me is my motivation to keep going.
