Places I want to go and do research for trips
Love part 2
this is the 2 subsequent post to "Love"
What Drives You?
It can be a painful memory. fear. a belief, or guilt. It could be running from regret and be manipulated by shame. It is products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.
Many people are driven by anger and resentment instead of forgiveness. Rehearsing it over and over in their heads. I, and others have a tendency to blow up and others internalize.
Powerful Words: Resentment
It hurts ourselves more than the offender. Do not hold on to bitterness. The past is the past. that can not change. The hurt holds no power over the offender. It only hurts if us hold onto the pain through resentment.
Fear:
It can be from a traumatic experience, from unrealistic expectations, growing up in a controlling home, or a genetic predisposition. These people miss out on opportunities because of fear. It is a self imposed prison. Use faith and Love to push through fear.
The Need For Approval:
We do not want to let down our parents, teachers, spouses, and peers. The pressure we are worried about is what others think. God says, "no one can serve two masters".
Knowing Your Purpose Gives Meaning To Your Life:
Without God life has no significant purpose or hope. Hope is need to cope. If there is something wanted...there is hope.
Knowing our purpose and living our life with God's plan for us, can simplify our life
What we do and don't do is guided by God's purpose. Use it to evaluate activities. It gives our life a foundation to base decisions, allocate time, and resources. Do activities that matters most. Productivity can be driven without purpose.
Ponder:
What would our family and friends say is the diving force of our life, and what do we want it to be? If everyone understood that life on earth is really a preparation for eternity, how would we act differently? According to the bible we will be sitting in judgement of God. He wants to know of our acceptance of what Jesus did for us, and did we trust him. This will determine where we spend eternity. God wants to know what you did with what God gave us. What we did with our talents, opportunities, and energy. Did we spend them on ourselves and did we use them for the purposes God made for us.
This will determine what we will do for an eternity.

I am reading a fantastic book called a purpose driven life. It is fantastic, and touches on ideals I already apply.
From Love yesterdays post
personality
I am abrupt, have a propensity to be nasty if I am hurt. I am venerable, but confident. I am strong minded, stubborn, and determined. I am loving, kind, and generous, I smoke, and cuss,I am dependant, and independent. I have the wisdom to keep on going when all else fails. Sometimes I do not try hard enough. I am scared and on edge for reasons I have not begun to understand. I feel helpless and unable to help myself because I do not know what I am scare of. I do not know what keeps me going, I do not know where I am going. I feel I have let my children down, by my choices. The pressure on me to change this and have not let it guide me. My mother and father stayed together through it all. I feel there is a reason for enduring this for all. I am unclear of what it is. I love to talk and giggle. I love to be silly, and sincere. I can carry myself with grace and dignity when I have to. I am very nosey. I hate not knowing....
background,
I have struggled with father issues. The manic depression, and health had huge consequences for me. I was a rotten teenager and took advantage of my parents and family. I left in more ways than one. I would get out as much as possible. I made very poor choices at the time without giving a thought to the consequences of my actions, and who it would hurt. I depended on my parents to much. I was 27 by the time my financial dependency was severed. It left me with a constant sensation of impending doom. I do not know why I struggle with this. My fathers death was the worst pain I have felt in my life time. I can not imagine what it will happen when my mother...I can not even . I was not as close to my father as I feel with my mother. Emotionally depend on her. She is my rock. I feel safe with her. She knows exactly what to say to make me feel better, she tells me when I am wrong and makes me think about my errors. I am doing that with my kids. I am trying to show them how to be happy does not mean depending on others for it. After my mom I depended on my husband for my happiness. I will never forget sobbing on the floor for hours uncontrollable, so hurt by him not understanding how he could hurt me so badly. It was in my early 30's.
appearance-
I am about my nose of all things. I am insecure of my thighs, hips, and stomach. I have always even while bigger have lots of comments, interest, and looks by men and women. I know that I can not waste time feeling insecure about my physical flaws and know that my husband likes me the way I am and that men in general do not view me the way I think they do. That was a huge burden I used to carry. My husband taught me that. I was almost ready to pop with my son on an anniversary and was wearing what I called jokingly my tent dress at a restaurant where the bathroom was in the bar. I noticed crossing through that several men were admiring me. I relayed this to my husband and said I did not understand how they could eye me in my tent dress. He looked at me and said the nicest thing I ever heard. 'honey, all men like to go camping'. As funny as it sounds it was the biggest boost my ego ever had from the man who changed my world.
