Day 1644: Quitting my food police job and letting people be

6 Replies

You can’t make people love, value and take care of themselves – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 12 : 05 PM on day 1644 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,    read Ezekiel 4, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, learn one new thing – The Great Barrier Reef, measuring 2,000 km in length, is the largest living structure on Earth. It can be seen from the Moon. – promote my  Educate Generations campaign  – Catherine Cook who has donated six times before donated $25 yesterday (thank you SO MUCH Catherine your ongoing support means a lot to me 🙂 )   – which brings my total raised to $2 435 only $65 more to raise to reach goal – feed myself   Idli and Chutney for breakfast, listen to music and continue reading  The Diary of A Young Girl: The Definitive Edition by Anne Frank .

 

Yesterday I realized that I can’t make people love, value and take care of themselves so I’m going to try not to be the food police and accept that people can and will do whatever they want no matter how bad it might be for them.

Day 1338: Whatever Will Be Will Be

Leave a reply

I finally learned to say

Whatever will be will be

I’ve learned to take

The good, the bad and breathe

‘Cause although we like

To know what life’s got planned

No one knows if shooting stars will land

Vanessa Hudgens, “Whatever Will Be”

 

It’s 12  : 00 PM on day 1338 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Psalm 25,   publish my Disability of the Day feature,     feed myself boiled egg and bran flakes for breakfast,  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings and promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still on 80% so far today.

 

Yesterday I was struggling with something until I adopted a whatever-will-be-will-be attitude I figured I had no control over what was going to happen anyway so why bother stressing about it. Are you stressing about things that are out of your control or have you adopted a whatever-will-be-will-be attitude?

Day 1273: Relinquishing the control I know I don’t have

All you can do is all you can do you can’t make people say what they don’t want to say or do what they don’t want to do – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 1  : 25 PM on day 1273 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth, pray,   read Job 7, go to church – the sermon was titled “Temptation” the reverend said something I’ll never forget he said the devil tempts to ruin; God tests to triumph I hope I remember that the next time I’m tempted to do something even a little bit wrong –  publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature,   feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – Dawn O’Brien donated £23 today (thank you SO MUCH Dawn) which brings my total raised to $414.20 (thank you God I KNOW you were working through Dawn to answer my prayers I REALLY appreciate it).

 

This morning I realized yet again that all you can do is all you can do you can’t make people say what they don’t want to say or do what they don’t want to do.  Do you try to make people do what you want them to do knowing the only person you control is you?

Day 1175: I don’t have any control over my life?

You and only you control how your life is going to turn out – that’s what I realized yesterday.

 

It’s 12  : 00 PM on day 1175 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, read 1 Chronicles 8,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature,   feed myself  boiled egg and All Bran Flakes for breakfast, pray and work on my book called Life: My thoughts on everything from faith to beauty – the book consists of some of the blog posts I wrote before I started writing about my journey towards independent I’m compiling this book to pass on some of the lessons I’ve learned in life hopefully people who read it will learn things that will spare them the pain and confusion I felt a few years ago.

 

Yesterday I realized you and only you control how your life is going to turn out and in that moment I decided that I was going to succeed in life –be independent in every way – because honest to God you get treated like crap when you’re constantly dependent on other people. Do you find yourself blaming others for the way your life is turning out?
