Lifes a Journey....Ry hom in sy MOER in!

I had a hectic time the last 2 weeks... It was Hennie's brothers wedding on Saturday, and all my close friends know that Im a little shy, and paranoid when it comes to these family gatherings, I really dont know why actually, I have this theory that everytime I go somewhere all the people are talking about me, and that the things theyre saying is ALL bad... but I decided this time i was going to go and actually enjoy myself... Ive been reading a book "Battlefield of the Mind" explaining that everything were afraid of, and stress about, is all in the mind, and we control our own minds so we can make the worry go away.. and I tried it, and by GOLLY GAWSH! it worked!! (hehe) You only have one life right, why not enjoy it, live every single day to the absolute maximum! My dad always tells me, that I shouldnt feel bad when people are talking about me, its when the talking stops that I have to start worrying, coz then I'm not important anymore! (Clever man my daddy) So thanks guys! The wedding was great! had a lovely time! Wish you were there!

Batlefield of the mind.... Thats a very good book...

Yeah I'm sure everybdy is talking about youwhen you enter a room, but I can garentee you its a hole lot more good than bad.... How can someone say bad things about you??? Just not possible...

The mind is more powerful than you think, and yes all is in the mind...

That Battlefield of the Mind book sounds good. I don't think I really need to read it, cos every1 talks good things about me anyway.

Hehehe, eish.

Haha, I just don't stress at such gathering because I'm friendly & comfortable with myself and I don't believe they have anything to criticize because I've done them no wrong. And if they do say stuff and it's negative, they're sad for wasting their time looking for niggles in someone they don't know.

So chill out girl, you know your qualities and if they don't know you, they don't know squat about you & should mind their own business.

It's only people you've had bad experiences that might have things to say - and you need to make a conscious decision whether they matter or not.
