People may need you, but do not forget how important you are to yourself. You deserve some of your attention too. That is a fact, and it does not make you selfish- it makes you human. If you tell yourself that you will make time to just relax, to just breathe, to take a vacation- keep your word. If you can not rely on you to do as you promise, all of your promises are empty. Honor yourself. Remember that your promises (especially the ones you make to yourself) have value; keep them sacred.  You can not fully be a great anything for anyone else if you have not taken time to take care of yourself. Promise you that this week will be different in that you will show up on your own priority list, devote some much needed, well deserved attention to yourself, and mean it. Then, watch what a difference it will make in all areas of your life and thank yourself for it. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & www.twitter.com/_TheAnswerKey daily!

When you have been wronged or let down, you may accept that people make mistakes and move on, you may expect an apology, or at the very least, you may be looking for an explanation, clarity, and understanding.The most necessary part of moving forward is finding a resolution, letting go, and creating your own peace no matter what. It may be as simple as an apology, compromise, or merely accepting that a mistake was made, but most importantly understanding how to ensure the past does not repeat itself. Harboring pain, disappointments, or any transgression weighs you down. Release your emotional baggage. If nothing else comes of the steps you have taken to forgiveness, the most important step is to let it go. It will lift your spirits even if it does not repair the relationship, better the circumstances, or change the outcome. People make mistakes and do not deserve to be harshly judged for every single petty infraction, but you are charged with protecting yourself from thos...

Realize that whether someone agrees with you or sees your point of view or not, does not, can not, and will not have an adverse affect on you- or at least it does not have to. State your piece, present your position, and let it go. Let them do what they please with the information. If the person is receptive or not is not your problem. Whether or not they are still unconvinced should not make or break your day. Even if you know for a fact their position is wrong, invalid, and or completely erroneous, accept that and move on. The lesson waiting for them may be precisely what they need to experience to get the most out of their journey. Remember, it is not your job to save people or create short-cuts for those who want to take the scenic route- let them. Recognize and respect how precious your time and energy is. Do not waste either on frivolous things or arguments that do not really matter or affect you and your life's journey. Allow people to learn their own lessons. Have faith in ...

To PUSH (take) positive, un-reprehensible, steps to happiness, you make a conscious, intentional movement in a specific direction for your life's journey- forward. Moving forward is vital to your happiness, and the lack of your forward motion will leave to you stagnant and open to misdirection and distraction. Everyone has been through major trials and triumphs. That said, learning how to grow from even the most miserable experiences and simultaneously refusing to let them direct your life is your first step forward. PUSHing only requires that more often than not, you make choices that support the cultivation of your own happiness. ~For more positive posts check out www.twitter.com/_TheAnswerKey & fb.me/TheAnswerKey daily!
