Being who you were meant to be

Have you even stopped and wondered if you were really happy with the person you are. I can say that through out the years I have done this and sometimes I liked the answer and sometimes I did not. I am at one of those points in my life where I do not like the person I currently am. I do not like my lack of patience, excuse making and overall attitude towards life in general. I am the one that has to make the choice to change these behaviors. They have not been pointed out to me by other people rather I was able to recognize them by just sitting back and reflecting on my life. I am not happy with me so I am the one that has to change - no one else. I have to find that center in my life where I was peaceful and content. The journey to get to that point again I believe will be a painful one but one that has to happen. If you are not happy with the person you are then you are the one that has to make the changes. One cannot expect other people to change their behaviors or attitudes. To think that will only aggravate you more and keep you from being at the place you want to be - that center. So my challenge for you today is to ask yourself "Do I like the person I currently am?" and if the answer is No what are you willing to do about it. Remember you make your own version of happiness!
