It seems there are many people that just reach (or jump on) to consume other peoples' energy rather than find their own way. Like you, I have chosen not to allow anymore 'Crazy Penguins' to consume any more of my energy or time. Thanks for your reminder. "We are all surrounded by crazy penguins. It’s up to us if we want to allow them to jump on or not." I have had my fair share of crazy penguins and like your message.

So many don't even take a shot and give up before trying. Maybe this will inspire others to give it all they have. As you shared: "What I discovered is that not doing anything is far worse than pursuing something and failing at it." Great post! So many don’t even take a shot and give up before trying.

You brought a lot of consistency to the world around you. Many may have noticed and I am sure some took you for granted but the bottom line is your gave it your best. Your life has changed and being a single mother (parent) has it's challenges yet the list you share makes a lot of sense and those single parents out there should take notice of these important ways of living life. Keep it simple, as you point out and do the best you can without taking things too seriously. "You can survive anything." Playing by the rules doesn’t really pay off the way we were taught.

Thanks for reminding me this. Yeah that sounds like a cliché at first but it’s true, you really have to remember what other people live to feel better about your life. Thanks for reminding me this.

We have a hard time (maybe even harder!) accepting praise as we do accepting blame. Good point. @CashewStyle So true Alicia.

Additionally, when I do something amazing, it's easier to accept praise and congratulations, something I used to brush off before.

]]> Comment on A Path With No Obstacles… by AJ Ogaard http://helenmryan.com/blog/2011/08/11/a-path-with-no-obstacles/#comment-64 AJ Ogaard Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:10:57 +0000 http://helenmryan.com/?p=1274#comment-64 Great way to look at lifes obsticles in a different way. Asking "why me" as you put it doesn't make the sitiation any better but pulling back and asking yourself how can you make this challenge into a benefit speaks loudly. Hitting the pause button and asking "how bad do you want it" will open your mind and help create new ways of finding the right path to obtain your goals.
