Start of day 4
Been thinking about how my mindset can try and deal with letting go of what I have been through. Wasted days, hours, not putting 100% into relationships at times, the financial losses.
I am going to tell myself I maxed out on a big trip away, a long trip. It was a reckless purchase, yeh. The trip wasn’t worth it, it took me to some crazy places, where I spent lots of money. So yeh, ultimately it was a waste of time and money.
I learned things on the trip though. Things about myself. That I need to improve myself but not be too hard on myself all the time. I need to try and let go of things. Stop looking at what other people have got.
I have learned some big life lessons the hard way. The most important thing I learned is that gambling gets you nowhere but down.
I can relate it to other things I have done. Sometimes we visit places, hotels, restaurants, cafes whatever. If they were no good we don’t go back there right.
Now I have returned from the trip. It’s time to rebuild some stuff, improve all the time, never ever, ever be complacent. Get on with living a life.
Life is short. I have told myself that before. This time I want to try and make the most of it. Money or no money in my account it doesn’t matter. What matters is a healthy life in as many aspects as possible.
Onwards and upwards. Maybe sideways sometimes! But never back down.
