Joy To The World

Empowering thoughts, I have listed so as not to be affected by what other people think and say about me. This relates to my previous blog " The Creation of My Magnificent Mosaic ." You can use it, too. 1. No matter what I say and do, I cannot please everybody. 2. People are looking at life in different perspectives so what's true for me may not be true for them and what's not true for me may be true for them. This is because each of us has its own different issues, beliefs, needs and priorities in life. It is our responsibility as a human being to know what is true for each of us. And because of that, I must be open to the idea of that I could be wrong in my perspective to some degree or another. 3. I still care about what other people think because I want to see their own perspective about life, putting myself into their shoes.

After checking the statistics, I was astonished that a lot of people from all over the world read my blog. And so, before I proceed I'd like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Now going back, my thoughts looking at the stats were, "OMG! What am I going to write next?" I felt pressured, and I said to myself, "I am going to write from my heart."

And what's more painful was my own parents judged me for what I had become. I realized that those negative emotions I had listed on my previous blog were all coming from my past childhood trauma and one more was added, fear of being criticized. Anyways, I will share with you ...

Some of them consulted me with their problems because I have this quality of looking at things in a positive way. Even my father knew that I am an optimistic person because when I experienced " The Greatest Physical Battle " of my life, he said, "Joy, this is your test to know how positive you can be." And when I had this sickness, few of my friends said, "Good thing, you didn't feel depressed." And my thought was, "Should I be depressed?" I honestly did not resonate with that comment because of the positivism that I was projecting at that time. I already knew back then that your state of being (thoughts, words and actions) determines the outcome of your reality. So, my being positive helped a lot in my healing because if I was not, I'd be dead by now. After I got healed, I thought it was the end of my sufferi...
