For many years during my life I stopped or prevent my self from doing things .
Not because I had disabilities , Just because I put disabilities in my head .
I told my self why not instead of why yes .
Every day , I am working on “the word of the day ” . At the beginning I thought that I will not be able to do it due to my level of English . I fall in love with this part of the program . I am getting to know my self better every day .I am also able to work on my self and strength some areas in me .
The word of the day is Willingness and it is one of a positive attitudes.
Willingness
Prompt to act voluntarily or without reluctance
Willingness applies to my growth and healing because I now understand how important it is for my progress and to succeed at the program. I now understand that if I don’t do the self work I will not be able to change and strive .
In the past I would stick to my comfort zone . The word I cant was my main one I would use in certain situations .
Recently I have been pushing to get out of my safe zone and to challenge myself more. It is part of the Program as well.
I feel that like an onion , the layers are slowly and successfully pealing away to get to the Roth of the issues I need to work on. Like the layers , one by one my fears are easing their way out of my life. I have been started taking part and doing things that I didn’t dream of doing before. I continue to challenge my self by speaking in front of the community with a microphone in my hand in a foreign language . I am willing to overcome my pride and shame and ask for help when I need it
I am strengthen my self esteem by daring more. I am fighting my fears and finding more peace. My ” I cant ” has been changed to ” lets try “. I have benefited from working on that behavior by taking actions in this journey . A journey for better , smarter , kinder me . This journey today will prepare me for better tomorrow and for future success.
I want to challenge every one of you who is reading it to get out of your comfort zone and for the next week instead of thinking ” why not ” change it to ” why Yes “. Also , in the following week , challenge your self to do something that you THINK you cant do , like sing in a karaoke ,dance , go for a walk , quite smoking for a day .
You will be surprise , what a little bit of Willingness can do to your life 🙂
