Lesson # 2: Like Attracts Like

During the whole of fall 2006, I spent most of the time being confused. I was always introspecting, mulling and, well, complicating relatively simple things. :) Then, I raised my hands up and said, "Screw it! I will handle life as it comes." But in the process, I also affirmed myself that I am a good person that deserves good things. After that, things started on a positive roll.


First, I met really good people who provide me with the positive energy I need. Second, I finally figured out what I am going to do not just next year but the years to come. Third, I generally have received simple yet very much great blessings.


What I concluded from this is that in order to have the best, you have to believe you are the best. Of course, I do not mean arrogance. Having a high sense of self-esteem often means that you are also aware of your weaknesses and are able to deal with them up front. It also means being aware of what causes these weaknesses and insecurities. This year for instance, I allowed my brains to surface some of my repressed memories. It was a scary thing to do but little by little it has helped me deal with situations and myself head on. It has also allowed to see the good in me -- to realize that I am the best person I can be. :)


Every now and then my whole I am the best attitude is challenged. However, because of the help of loving people, I have been able to push through them. Plus, I have come to realize how important it is to have faith that my God, whom I consider a part of me, loves me and only wants the best for me. :)


So summa summarum - in order to attract the best, you have to believe you are the best. :)


So this is my second learning for the year that was. I will try to write something about the third one very soon. :)


In the meantime, hugs to everyone and happy new year!
