Failure is an event, NOT a person.
***ZOOOUUUCCCHH!!****
As Tiffany would say, I’m back from Oblivion. This past period has been, well, wonderful and yet, its also been a time of stretching, growing, and realising that the path you’ve planned for yourself (so perfectly I may add) may not end up being what God intends for you. (Gosh I sound so spiritual don’t I??).
Failure is an event, and is NOT a person. So you may say that you failed at doing something. True you did, but it was something that you did in the past. YOU, the Person, are not a failure. Guard your thoughts well!!!
I know this doing this hurts, and it’s a painful process, one that takes time, but the main thing is to pick yourself off the floor, or off whatever deep hole that you’ve dug (oh trust me, bottomless pits count as holes too!!!).
Dust the self-pity, anxiety, worry off and tell yourself to remain calm, relaxed and just breathe. And you learn, and you’ll grow from this. This is what makes you a stronger person, and I guess how God moulds you into the person He’s purposed that you will become. And learn to trust and depend on God and not do your own thing in your own strength…. Also, take cover and refuge in people that love you and want the best for you – Family and Friends that support you and love you for who you are.
Anyway, on a lighter note, Thanks to all of yous for remembering my birthday! (Fine I know this is belated but oh well its not too late is it!?!) If you didn’t remember my birthday, I still like you anyway but WHERE ARE MY PRESENTS!? LOL
Josh bought me The Coffee Machine. Note, its not A coffee machine, but THE coffee machine – the Nespresso Delonghi N 99 model. Well, he actually bought the wrong model, and I exchanged it for this!! I am still in awe of my “The Coffee Machine” and its brightly coloured pods. And the Milk frother is to die for.
On 20th Sept 08, we added another member to our family. His name is Charlie, and he is a Maltese/Shit-tzu puppy born on 21/07/2008. He is the most adorable and gorgeous little being I’ve ever known, though I will admit that he is Bloody Hard Work. I spent about 3 hours in the pet shop with Joy, just worrying and deciding on whether or not to get him. And then at night I had a major freak out because I was just thinking of the responsibilities involved (
Not that I hadn’t already thought about it, you know how when things just hit you sometimes??) But anyway, he is settling well with his brother Milo. They have fights and chase each other around the room quite a lot, but im sure in time they will settle down more. (AWWWWWWWW) LOL
I just wanna say how much your support and love has meant to me. Its actually literally carried me during those times at night where I feel like I couldn’t possibly do anything else but lay in bed and cry.. Thanks for being there, even coming over at 12am and then going home at 1.30am when I know you have to work the next day.. I have a million things to say to you but I’m not going to increase the size of your head any further – it may swell up and burst and then you’ll die (and then ILL be sad cos its ALL ABOUT ME isn’t it!! LOL)
I just wanna say that you are my rock, and you are my world.deb's outta there..
