I don’t enjoy the thought of short changing myself, however there are times when I feel the right decision is to bail.  I’m going through some issues right now that want me to bail completely.  What’s worse, it wants me to hide into my shell.

Not a healthy attitude.

The stronger the sensation I get, the more I have to question myself why.  Feelings of dejection, not fitting in, lack of appreciation: I hate to say it, but they do still come up and I have to remind myself that these feelings aren’t legit.  We can be our worst enemies, and despite the fact that we know it isn’t healthy to think such things, the thoughts do come, and those thoughts are liars, heir to a past that no longer (if it ever did) exist.

Keep perspective, but understand…

Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.

-Proverbs 4:23 (NCV)
