You can't go around being what everyone expects you to be, living your life through other people's rules, and be happy and have inner peace.
Live....be you....enjoy....love
Jealousy is really a demand that someone love you a certain way, and you saying, "It isn't fair" when they don't. It comes from a lack of self-confidence.
A lot of people have bumper stickers that say "This is the first day of the rest of my life" I prefer to think "This is the last day of my life, and I'm going to live it as if I don't have any more"
Try to learn from the past, rather than repeating it and making references to it all the time.
You can never please everyone. In fact, if you please 50% of the people, you're doing well.
Each experience in your life was absolutely necessary in order to have gotten you to the next place, and the next, up until this very moment.
Self-esteem comes from the self, not from acquisitions and approval.
With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself, or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. YOU get to choose.
