    @3rdWheel -

    I live paycheck to paycheck - I just don’t dwell on that fact as The Determening factor of the measure of my life

    The biggest breakthrough I had is when I embraced my life for what it is and decided to enjoy it

    I no longer live in the vicious cycle of berating myself for failure or not being rich enough to be worthy of praise and self esteem. I don’t conditionally give myself permission to be happy only once I am successful enough. I don’t measure myself by someone else’s standards about what I ought to be, or ought to do or ought to feel

    Instead, I whistle while I work, when I worry and can’t go to sleep I count my blessings instead of sheep

    If you don’t like making a decision between a phone service and (whatever else was supposed to go there) spare a thought for those among us who have to make that decision between medication and food. And show a little gratitude you don’t count yourself among those

    I can tell you are bitter about your circumstances and that’s bad for you. Nobody else cares if you’re unhappy with your life or not. Not internet strangers, not motivational speakers

    I offer you this as someone who was were you are and moved passed it. It might not be what you would like to hear but it is a view point that comes from a place of experience and sincerity

    You do with that what you will

    PS don’t fall into the trap of believing an ism will solve your problems. That’s a fool’s errand
