As you may have noticed by now, broken heel moments like broken heels are reparable. What I have noticed when encountering broken heel moments is that you can be better prepared to face them if you have certain key rules down pact. With the new year around the corner, I decided to create some rules that we can all refer to when faced with broken heel moments.
I hope they are able to help, even if a little, please let me know your thoughts !!!!!!!!
1. Remember to love and be loving at all times, NO MATTER WHAT, even when (especially when) it hurts. If you keep this in mind when facing hardships, I guarantee you they will seem less bigger than they really are.
2. If you want to receive %100 out of a person or situation, you must first be willing to give %100 of yourself. You will get what you put in, at all times.
3. Believe in yourself and your potential at all times. If you don’t no one else will.
4. Never take anything in your life for granted, be grateful for every opportunity, every person. Remember it could always be worst. The moment you begin to take things for granted in your life, they will be taken away.
5. No matter how bad it seems, always remember that it will come to pass. Obstacles are placed in our way to help us grow and learn.
6. Never be afraid of taking a risk (well calculated of course), you may never have that chance to have the same opportunity twice.
7. Life doesn’t wait for anyone, remember to make the most of every moment and live every day to the fullest.
8. Dream big and dare to make your dreams come true ALWAYS ! You only have one life and you don’t want to wake up with a bunch of regrets, wondering what could have been.
9. Don’t waste any of your precious valuable time on anyone who doesn’t deserve it. If they don’t recognize your value or worth, keep it moving. Don’t try to argue or understand why, it will only cause you to doubt yourself.
Although this is the last rule, it is the most important one. Without this rule none of these are possible, so last but not least.
10. ALWAYS put yourself FIRST, if you fail to do this, you will most likely fail at a lot of things. It is impossible for you to care about anyone, excel at anything if you refuse to take care of yourself first. All too often we forget this rule and it creates a lot of chaos when we do.
Being willing to take risk is a big one… especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
*sigh*
Looking forward to 2010!
Thanks for sharing and I for one will try to follow these rules. I’ll let you know how it goes. Here’s to a New Year filled with new expierences!!!
Thank you Carolyn, I am glad you like them. Keep me posted, I will def. be trying to follow them myself, part of the reason why I wrote them out. Happy New Year, best wishes !
Thank you for commenting Keli, I struggle with all of these I have written. Happy New Year ! Best Wishes for the New Year.
I love Top 10 Rules for 2010!! My favorite is #4 on the rules list. It took me a long time to understand the concept of gratitude. I would always compare myself to others and was so unhappy. I was told that at your funeral they will never talk about your resume or all your material belongings but what kind of person you are. That is the most important thing. Life is not a race to get to the finish line. I just decided to take a different route with a great scenic route which I am so grateful for.
Thank you Linda, I am still grasping that concept as well. It is so easy to complain about what we don’t have without taking into account what we have. Your example is so true. Glad you liked the rules. Happy New Year !
Thanks Krissy, this was like a big affirmative hug
Reminds me of the scene in the movie Shirley Valentine where she is looking in the mirror and says, “I’m Shirley the brave, Shirley the marvelous, Shirley Valentine” 
Your welcome Lorraine, glad you enjoyed it ! *hugs* lol Happy New Year !
