Keeping Promises

I promised myself that I would write in my blog. As I sit here thinking ... "what do I want to write about" ... I realize that I don't have anything on my chest that I really want to get "off" of it. The only thing that's been preoccupying my thoughts lately has been my relationship and frankly I'm tired of talking about it.

So, today's post is going to be about keeping promises I've made to myself. I've been reading this book I picked up at my chiropractor's office a couple of weeks ago and it's about the healing power of gratitude and love. I'm only on chapter 6 of 25, but I've already learned so much from this book. The most important lesson is that my life is what I make it. I've never considered myself a victim of life, but I think deep down, I've always thought that certain things were out of my control. However, I've been doing a lot of reading and research lately, mostly about the Law of Attraction and such. I'm trying expanding my mind and heart to embrace and use the power that God has given me. The power to create my own life and not just let life happen to me. At the end of every chapter in this book, there is a section for reflection as well as realization exercises. At the end of chapter 4, one of my exercises was to list (in order of importance to me) the three highest priority goals or objectives I wish to achieve. My number three on that list was to write in my blog every day. Now, I read that chapter sometime last week and even though I didn't start right away, I realize that I need to be accountable to myself and keep the promises I made (especially to me). I see that as an important step to being the creator of my life. Doing what I set out to do. Accomplishing the things that make me happy and keep me fulfilled. Living my dream.
