“If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.” ― Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
I stole the quote above from my friend on facebook and I needed it!
Wassup Ya'll! It has been awhile so I'm sure you're wondering what I've been doing with my life:
Trying to Get my life and emotions under control - Reading Iyanla Vanzant books hoping it will be as effective as her knocking on my front door telling me that my family will be on "Iyanla Fix My Life". Since that is highly unlikely, I'm hoping I can learn something to change my outlook on life and love permanently. I say permanently because how many times have we heard a sermon, read a book, read a status, etc that HAD to have been catered just to us... We digest the message and thennnnnnnn MOVE ON! Or, if you're like me, you hear it, know it's for you, change for about a week, then it's back to your old ways. I want something else, I'm seeking something else, I have no idea what it is BUT I know it's deeper than something I'll do for 1 or 2 weeks. I thought my quest to Iowa/Illinois was it (I am still learning a lot) but I still don't feel complete :-/
Needless to say, I've been spending time putting my 5 year plan together and just trying to figure out what it is that I'm missing. Because this missing piece is sending my emotions through all kinds of roller coasters smh... I guess, my solution is to quit assuming and ask God the right questions...
Hope this helped someone :)
