You're in control.

Just so those of you who read this know, I started another bog today. A Music Paige.

Now, onto what I wanted to discuss. I got my vanity today!! It was a fantastic experience. We opened the box and the table was all in one piece! Didn't have to put together the drawers, put together the rest of it and then lug it up the stairs and into my room. It was such a pleasant surprise. :) So easy, so right.

And on to a deeper topic - I was watching Castle this morning and heard something that has stuck with me all day.


"You think it's a weakness, so make it a strength."


How awesome. So much of us lose that concept. Wait, we can do that? Yes, yes we can. I know I personally have struggled with that idea. I've had what I thought to be a weakness and let it be just that - a weakness. That's not ok. Why 'let it be' when we can make it be so much more and so much better? Yet we all do it. We allow ourselves to 'live' with things because it's 'just apart of' who we are, when that is not truth. Maybe NOW it's a part of who you are but that's only because you've allowed it to become that. 


We seem to think that we have no control over anything. Lie. Maybe if we all stopped lying to ourselves we'd be in a much better, harder spot. See, I have turned my blog from "I like to rant" to "Let's drag all this crap out in the open". While dragging it all out may very well be the harder "I don't like this as much" way, it is much more rewarding in the end - even though I haven't gotten there yet. If nothing else the dragging it out and getting rid of it makes me feel better. It makes me feel more at peace, because I'm doing something about all those things I previously thought I had no control over. I found out I'd been lied to and so I now have the mindset of my three year old nephew. He believes he can do anything because, as my father so wisely stated, "No one ever told him he couldn't." Well, in some ways I have found myself going back in time lately. To be honest, I've rather enjoyed it. It's refreshing when you start to look at things like you can do anything because no one ever told you otherwise. Sure, people have said otherwise to me... but most of it was lies. :) If you don't believe me, just look at my life. It's all the proof I need.
