Wisdom of a lifetime, accumulated from what I’ve read, been told and learned from experience:
- I think too much;
- I never think;
- I feel too much;
- I am selfish and don’t have enough consideration for other people;
- I care too much about other people’s feelings and what they think about me;
- My expectations of life are ‘through the roof’;
- I don’t expect enough from life – I should dream more, decide what I want and go for it;
- I need to get out more and meet people;
- I am happier on my own and should keep away from other people because being with them makes me stressed and frustrated;
- I need an occupation that will give purpose to my life and focus my energies;
- I need to do less and stop running myself ragged all the time;
- I need to try harder;
- I shouldn’t have to try at all;
- I need to write every day – doesn’t matter what about;
- I need to be focussed in my writing and finish what I’ve started;
- I need to tidy up after myself, because how can I focus and be comfortable when I’m surrounded by chaos?
- I need to stop beating myself up about the chaos and learn to be happy as I am;
- I need to organise myself, make lists, set goals and get some structure into my life;
- I need to take each day as it comes and be spontaneous;
- I need to sort myself out;
- I need to be less self-centred;
- I need to be more self-disciplined, to stop floundering about and getting nowhere;
- I need to stop being so hard on myself.
I agree
