See, lately I have been feeling so angry and sour at the world. In fact I have been on a roller coaster of emotions, most of them negative. From anger to anxiety, bitterness to dicontentment, and worthlessness due to previous failures. It's been more like a 'tower of terror' of emotions. I'm not ashamed to admit this, because im busy tearing my facade of neatness down, exposing my weaknesses, and going through transformational change. I'm facing my demons, all guns blazing! I am planning my come back.
No matter how many lemons, how sour, you got to strive to improve yourself at all times. Don't get too comfortable in a position or a season so much that you forget to take the next step up the ladder. When you face failure and fall, you don't wallow in the mud. You get up, and improve yourself! This is how you maintain balance in life. You improve yourself step by step, so when you fail you fall back into the previous, then try again.
As a part of life you will have people who will use their time and energy pulling you down. The PHD (Pull Him/ Her Down) syndrome is real!! Now those come in two forms. 1stly, the ones that honestly want to see you fall and suffer. 2ndly, those who aren't aware of what they do to you. They are constantly passing negative comments about you, but never see the good that you do. I get a lot of the latter, and I am learning how not to listen to them. How sensitive you get when someone makes negative comments about you is a choice you make.
1 more way of maintaining balance is taking those lemons and putting sugar on them, or drink o' pop! See, lemons aren't that bad;)
