Changing Your Life Is Only as Difficult as You Make It
How difficult do you make it?
When it comes to finding the best ways to complicate my life, I’m an expert.
This tends to come from overthinking things, overanalyzing, self-doubt, uncertainty, fear, and similar factors.
Why? Sometimes it’s because of the idea that if it looks too good to be true (or too easy) it probably is. Other times because I’ve long believed that nothing worth having is ever easy. Then there are external factors like the opinions of others, societal BS, and the like.
And of course, my own fears, self-doubt, concerns, beliefs in being deserving or not, and so on.
However, no matter what the factor is — it all comes down to me.
Nobody but me is in my head, heart, or soul. Thus, nobody but me can determine what works or doesn’t work for me.
When it comes to my life and any changes I desire to make to it — I alone can choose those.
Yes, there are factors to take into consideration like the needs and desires of my spouse, care for our cats, and other things.
But for the parts of my life that are wholly mine — namely everything within me — I alone can change them.
