#17 of "30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself"

Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them, 

but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny. 

#17 - Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself. – Life’s curveballs are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you.  You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough.  But reflect back on those negative curveballs thrown at you in the past.  You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation.  So smile!  Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.

Life's curveballs are the worst and on occasion you never do ever fully understand why. If you look at it honestly isn't there a curveball in your life one way or another most every day!? Just sometimes they curve more than others. Yesterday was a curveball kinda day. Not that we weren't expecting the call but it still takes your breath away once you here the words spoken out loud.

I have had plenty of curveballs in relationships too. My best advice to myself is to listen and learn from each and everyone of them. Life isn't perfect and even though we would like to think we are... neither are we and I definitely am not. Life's curveballs make us stronger, if we are willing to learn from them and move forward. Living in the past or harping on things that can not be changed is not healthy and it just makes you miserable. So smile, pick your self up, brush off the dirt and swing at those curveballs you'll see life is so much easier, happier and brighter when you take the risk, swing away and just let GO!!! It's not going to kill you to try! Believe in yourself... you may even surprise yourself just how much better life can be :)

Believe in your dreams and they may come true...

Believe in yourself and they will come true!
