Reputation is what men and women think of us. Character is what God and angels know of us ~ Thomas Paine
Saw this quote on twitter tonight. It is a quote that I have heard more than once in my life but I am coming to think of it more often. I wonder why I think so much of what other people think of me. Why does it truly matter to me? Does it affect what I think of myself? No...Does it affect what my family thinks of me? No....So why should I even worry about it. I worry about it because I have always been taught that perception is the key to everything. I worry about it because I feel like negativity towards my business will hurt my business. I shouldn't worry about it because I know myself. I know the negativity is not who I am or who I ever will be. I am proud of who I am and how far I have come. I am proud of where I intend to go. I will not let anyone take that away from me. So there are mountains put in front of me for me to climb....I will not ask for them to be moved, only for the strength to climb them. There will be valleys I am sure....again I will only ask for determination to withstand. Only I can let myself down. I will not allow others to do that for me. Opinions are yours to have. I will not let them tear me down. We have been doing some stuff locally to build up our business, only to be told that our work isn't good enough. That is your opinion. I have seen your work, although I dont agree with your opinion of mine I am sure you wouldn't agree with my opinion on yours. We work very hard on the images that we put out there for our clients and as long as they are happy with them that is what matters. keep trying to tear us down... I feel that in the long run you will only hurt yourself. God dont like ugly. I would appreciate it if in the future if you have issues with me or my work then you bring it to me. You do not discuss it with our clients. Karma is a much bigger biotch than I will ever choose to be.
On another note....I have spent the last few days taking care of my mother in law. I truly wouldnt trade her for the world. but that is another blog entirely. As for my weight loss journey, I am kinda stuck....we have been so busy that we havent slowed down to eat right or exercise. so as of today I am still 219. but I am ok with that. I know that it wont be forever and we will be back on track. Life has just gotten in the way currently. But I wouldnt have it any other way. I am thankful that I have been so incredibly blessed with a family that has taken me in as if I am their own. and I love them so much! After all it is my life and what I make it and right now I am making it about family!! See you soon on this journey again...hopefully this week sometime!!
