Focus

Lately, I’ve been feeling like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.  We all know that old adage right?  Problem is, I like being square.  I don’t necessarily want to fit into a round hole.  But, life’s like that and its teaching me that things might not always be about me and what I want.  In fact usually that’s the case.  Sometimes you have to be a conformist if you will.  The last few days I’ve been repeatedly saying to myself; “talk less and listen more.”  For an even longer time I’ve thought to myself “what have you done for someone else today?”  Things seem to get muddled so easily in my brain, when that happens, and it happens often, I become frustrated.  Once frustrated I seek out happiness, contentment and a how do I avoid ever feeling this way again–type of mood  It’s a cycle, not one I’m necessarily proud of.  I guess my point here (I’m taking the long way to make it) is that maybe listening and giving is the answer.  I believe if you focus on others, helping, listening to, just being a friend, whatever the case may be, and take the focus off of yourself and your own “issues” all in all you’ll feel better.  Likely actually BE better!  On that note, I do hope I’ve listened more and done something for someone other than myself today.  The days not over I still have time!
