| Ineffective daily affirmations I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia. I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault. I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself. Unless of course I want to stay employed. In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all. I am grateful that I am not as judgemental as those censorious,self-righteous people around me. The first step is to say nice things aobut myself. The second step is to do nice things for myself. The third is to find someone to buy nice things for me. Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots. Only lack of imagination saves me from imoblizing myself with imaginary fears. Does my quiet self-pity get to you? Or should I move up to incessant nagging? Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than 'I told you so'. False hope is nicer than no hope at all. A good scape-goat is almost as welcome as a solution to the problem. Just for today, I am not going to sit in my living room and watch tv all day. I will move my tv to the bedroom. Who can I blame for my own problems? Give me a minute.......... I'll find someone. I will find humor in my everyday life by finding someone to laugh at. The next time the universe knocks at my door, I will pretend I am not at home. To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it look like I am giving as much as I am getting. I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them. |
