Sono_me is having a hard time changing.

Untitled 18 months ago

It’s painful to feel time stop when it is supposedly still going on… and you supposedly are also. It’s horrible to feel like you are not in control of your life. It’s even worse to feel dead when you’re alive. How can anyone feel at such a standstill in their life and wonder if there truly is anything out there worth doing, especially at such a young age? There has to be something that will “resurrect” (for lack of a better word) me and make me feel like I am worth the space I take up on this planet.

Inner Peace 22 months ago

“The virtue of peace is a good measuring gauge or sort of a spiritual thermometer you might say, that when lost, warns us to take action, in cooperation with grace, to remedy the situation and return our heart back to its tranquil state.”
“Peace is a characteristic of a person who truly follows Jesus Christ.” It is the mark of a true Christian that separates them from the world of false peace, being pursued in self-seeking pleasures and activities.

“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27

i've gotten stuck in mediocrity 1 year ago

I’m complaning constantly about my job. I’ve pouted (frequently and excessively) that I don’t have colleagues that I can rely on or confide in.
I need to make a change, but I am sorry to report that I will need to pick myself up, orient myself and start again.

(3) Put what hinders me.. into perspective... and JUMP!! 2 years ago

I need to jump… but I don’t know how yet..
It might even be within my current job – it might be outside of it.

2. Stop Complaining to make this sustainable 2 years ago

I have realized that it is soo incredibly easy to spiral downward into a complaing, miserable night-mare… that is not to say that all critical reflection, or even just the basic act of expressing frustration is bad… but let’s face it… as a daily habit – as a way of life – it is unhealthy.

(1) start with Being Thankful 2 years ago

I want to begin to stop and smell the roses again… even when they are dried out or moldy… maybe just laugh at the thought of smelling the roses in that case…

The trick is to keep doing it.
