Okay...

Okay--I admit it, I'm a super-duper loser with whipped cream and a cherry on top.I had a half day today at work and actually watched some of that Dr.Phil show when I got home.I usually don't watch him cause I'm so sick of the trend in America to make life antequated and try to analyze every little thing(plus he comes off as arrogant)--but I did get sucked in long enough to hear this phrase:"How much you trust someone is a function of how much you trust yourself to handle what they may or may not do."Man oh freakin' man--is that true or what????? It's not really about the other person, it's about your own fear of losing them or being hurt by them--your own insecurity.Cause we all know that we can't control another person--and you just never know what's gonna happen in life.As hard as it is to trust yourself sometimes--Lord, it's that much harder to trust someone else.But I think the point here is surrender of control.Either you love the person or you don't.What happens after that is up to the universe to answer.So for me--this means reclaiming the fact on a daily basis that I will survive no matter what happens, no matter who stays or leaves.If I choose to be with someone--it is because I want to, not because I need to or that I'm afraid.You gotta be strong in this life--you have to be your own power source.And be open to what life is trying to tell you.
