No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Finding fault with everything you see

We all know people who just like to complain. It seems that no matter how good they have it, they’re always spreading negative energy. Even the best, most painstaking listener can have trouble with someone who finds fault with everything around them. You can shine even in the worst situations if your character is strong. If you’re starting to see the dark side too often and find yourself blaming your circumstances on other people, take another look. If you think a change of scenery will solve all your problems, think again. Change can be good. Moving on to new things can be an exciting chance to stretch yourself and break a rut. But it’s important to start with yourself when you’re finding things to improve. No matter where you live, work or play, the only constant is you. You can’t escape yourself. Change on the outside will have no effect on your happiness or fulfillment unless you change on the inside, too.

You have a lot of things to do today yet the most important may be keeping up your appearance of being a strong leader at home or in your community. Unfortunately, you might not know how to make that happen. Forget about the how-to book filled with rules and don’t worry about what others think. It’s time for you to trust your instincts and claim your power.

Ahh, if only I could stay motivated and energized long enough to get everything done. Things are tough but lots of great things are happening in my life.  I made myself the promise to leave Corvallis before the end of the year and I definitely will be. The plans to move are already in progress… I will do a longer, more detailed update soon when I’m feeling inspired.  I need to stay STRONG. Wish me luck!

& while I’m at it, Oregon State plays at UNLV tonight at 8 PM.  I wish so badly that I could be in Vegas with all the other Beavers. As seen on Facebook, “BEAVA LAS VEGAS!”

GO BEAVS!
