get over myself

I’m not exactly sure how to get over myself, or if I can, or if I even want to. I’m all I’ve got, really.

That said – I’m really not interested in making “myself” the center of my world. It’s very boring, for one thing, and I am a self among other selves, obviously – for another.

I have a tendency to see my life in really tragic terms when I’m feeling lazy and don’t feel like doing the unpleasant things I need to do as a human being to stay alive on this planet – such as pay bills, and work. It’s pathetic, and it needs to change. Getting over myself shouldn’t be that hard – but in an effort to take myself seriously, I think I take myself too seriously.

I’m working on it, and I’m glad I’m not alone.

The universe does not revolve around me

Stop being selfish

You are blessed with countless gifts, so start giving generously

Why drown in your own thoughts, think of others

Stand in their shoes, stand closely beside them

Look through their eyes, see their world, their universe

Give generously

The divineness within me respect their divineness

There is actually no me, them, others, we are all One

I think it was being less self-obsessed and thinking that I am really different from every other human. It isn’t a very useful goal anymore because I am not ready to change. I do feel very different and I am self-obsessed but at the end of the day ourselves is all we have really especially if your single and don’t have children.

My boyfriend is still married (filing for divorce takes ages!!)- He lives with me, I pay all the bills and living costs…he can’t afford too as he still supports his wife…while she shops, has a hair done…darr dee darr!! Arghhh I can’t even afford lunch at a coffee shop once a month!! ...but I have him – he is the love of my life and I just wanna get over all that crap … i’m aonna keep trying!

I’m pretty sure getting over myself came with moving out of my mom’s and living on my own.

i have this weird thing where when i look to the side (i’m 24 now and i just noticed this even though i’ve had it my whole life) one eye goes farther than than the other and it looks kind of strange.

i realize now that’s why photos i took when i was little are kind of weird. but at the same time, i need to get over it. i’m not perfect. but i’m still absolutely blessed. amen to that.

DEFINATELY!

It’s about being appreciative of what I have. About getting rid of the greed and selfishness that sometimes inhibits me. Above all, I think its important to strive for realistic goals and to stop bashing myself, stop wanting more when I have plenty. I’d like to be happy just because I have every reason to be, instead of the other way around.

I don’t know why I always thought this, but it’s very arrogant when I realize this.

I thought I had to be the best at everything, when really all I need is to do my best. It doesn’t matter if someone is better than me at something, it matters what I can do and what I can do to succeed in maximizing my potential in life.

I dreamed of going to law school at Cornell and studying for my undergrad at UPenn. But the reality is, that might not be the life for me. And really- whose dream is that?

I am becoming successful. I’ve been studying in India for awhile and I’ve almost completed my training…

But I need to remember that my ambitions, aren’t my mother’s. I didn’t go to Harvard. My ambitions are not my father’s- I didn’t go to law school. My ambitions are my own.

And I need to focus instead on things that make me happy.
