Are you Lending your Energy to the right thing?

I want to start of by saying I share my thoughts on the struggles i myself are battling through in hopes that others might get something out of it. :)

I think we all strive to be the best version of ourselves we can be, but sometimes in the process we focus our attention on the wrong things. I’ll come out and say it, our short comings. The things we can’t do accomplish at the moment or expand our reach to grasp, due to certain circumstances. I personally am really bad at that. *Raises hand. My reality is I’m a stay at home mother, and military spouse that makes for some very limited and restricted free time. I love being a writer. Each and every one of you mean the world to me, and I always try to do everything in my power to show how much I appreciate you and your support. If I had one wish, it’d be to attend more conventions to meet you guys in person. The truth is… it’s near impossible to plan around an every changing schedule( The Marines’) and unexpected moves. For a long time, I focused too much energy on that fact.

Then a light bulb went off. I may not be able to travel as much as I’d like to meet people one on one, but I can make my voice be heard, and offer up what I can, how I can. The minute I switched my focus, the weights I’d placed on my shoulders were lifted, and light flooded in through the darkness creeping in around me. It’s funny. We all want to be happy, but it can be a very elusive state to achieve. Is there a negative thing you’re focused on? How can you flip things around and lend your energy to something more positive? I challenge you to mute those negative voices day by day, and next Friday tell me how it impacted your life.
