It´s Friday!!! To be honest: I´ve been looking forward to this day ever since I did the first "5 Facts For Friday" last week. There were some amazing answers! I really enjoyed reading all of them. This week I´ll be sure to reply to them a lot quicker. ^___^ Today I have some more challenging questions. They came to me all through the week and I just wrote them down somewhere, so I won´t forget. Here we go:
1) Can people change?
2) Are you able to let go and trust the universe or are you trying to bring things under your control?
3) Are you a leader or a follower?
4) On a scale of one to ten, how much did you like yourself today?
5) Today the best thing was ____?
1) Yes, I do believe that people can change. Yet hardly any of them really do. It might seem like a superficial change often, but in reality they aren´t really able to let go of the "old-you". They like to trick themselves into thinking that they changed, but actually they did not. It takes lots of energy and a lot of self-reflection to make progress. This is tiring, so most stop after a time.
2) From my experience I can only say: The more I try to control it, the more it gets out of control. The more I learned to let go, the more the universe acted to my heart´s desire. I didn´t always get what I wanted, but I always got what I needed. I am grateful for my life.
3) I guess I´m more a kind of a leader. I like to teach. I like to talk to people, the more the better. But it´s not like I want to push myself to the fore. I want to be with everyone, not above everyone.
4) Hmmm, I guess I´d give this day a 9. Used the curling iron after ages again to save my bad hair day and it worked perfectly. I skipped dinner for 4 days now and I feel brilliant! The one point off is because of my skin. I am detoxing my body, not eating chocolate or sweets, and now all the bad stuff comes out through my pores. Classic initial aggravation. I know it will get better.
5) Tuna salad! I know we aren´t supposed to eat tuna, since it is really endangered. But 2 of my colleagues made the salad today and it was so very delicious! My body craved tuna for ages, but I never would have made it for myself. But since it was already there... So yummmmmy!
Oh, I´m so curious!!! Please post your answers to the comment section!
Looking forward to your answers. *^____^*
5 things I am grateful for today:
- My curling iron. This sounds so superficial, but honestly: It´s one of the best inventions. ALWAYS makes hair look pretty, as messy as it may seem at the start.
- Getting lots of work done, but somehow easily and without tiring.
- My sleeping schedule that is filling me with new energy. I just tend to forget what sleep does for us human beings sometimes...
- Being able to cure headache through massage.
- listening to Super Junior on the train. They just have amazing voices!
Happy Friday to you!!!
XOXO,
1) Can people change?
ReplyDeleteYes.
2) Are you able to let go and trust the universe or are you trying to bring things under your control?
I'm trusting the universe most of the time because you can't control and predict everything.
3) Are you a leader or a follower?
depends on the subject. I'm doing my own thing without being preachy about my way of living.
4) On a scale of one to ten, how much did you like yourself today?
8
5) Today the best thing was ____?
meeting new, like-minded people, eating lots of delicious food and spending the evening with my loved one.
1) Can people change?
ReplyDeleteYes, but it is hard to let go of bad mental habits. I've been reading Martha Beck books. Her exercises help, but it takes awhile.
2) Are you able to let go and trust the universe or are you trying to bring things under your control?
Trying to let go (Martha Beck exercises!).
3) Are you a leader or a follower?
Definitely not a leader, but not really a follower either. Is there something in between? I don't like to be in charge, but I can take charge of a situation. I don't like to follow, I'd rather do my own thing.
4) On a scale of one to ten, how much did you like yourself today?
(For yesterday-Friday) 7 due to eating sweets. I need to give up sweets, too.
5) Today the best thing was ____? Getting huggies from Steve. ((heart))
1. People can change, but as you say it is not easy. I think we need a crisis or a deeply touching expirience which initalize the change.
ReplyDelete2. Half, half. I think in "carreer life" I try to control but in "private life" I like to let go.
3. Leader
4.9, because I could reach an old friend and help my parents.
5. mashed potatoes from my mum :* I love you mum.
I really like your new layout.
1. Yes. But only if they really want to change, and they are conscious about it, and try to find what do they need to change. It is not easy and it takes time and effort like everything in life. In essence we'll always be the same person but we can work with our weakens and flows through life if we want.
ReplyDelete2. Sometimes the more you try the less you can. Things flow better when you take an easygoing attitude, of course that doesn't mean I leave everything to the universe, I do the best can, but the most of the time I trust the universe.
3. Honestly, a follower the most of the time. I'm working on becoming a leader, above all a leader to myself.
4. 9. 've been on a diet for 3 weeks and my pants still being a little tight.
5. Having breakfast with my friends and feeling social again because I want to.
Oh my, wanted to answer these questions but just found no time the last week – so now here I go:
ReplyDelete1) Can people change?
I would not say „can“ – normally they DO, if they want or not. Change is something that is normal for our lives.
I guess this question is somehow irretating and most people would never really believe they changed. It is not the question about the change that is important – it is important to ask if people always are TRUE. If you want to be really yourself it might bring you to changes every now and than, and that is good.
It is bad if you do not want to change an old habbit and „grow“ yourself. That would be very bad, you loose yourself and your dreams.
So I try again to answer your message short: People CAN and SHOULD change, as long as they follow their heart. But following your heart is not easy everytime and for everybody – and than people often tend to not change because they are afraid.
2) Are you able to let go and trust the universe or are you trying to bring things under your control?
I am often trying to control many things – but I learned that sometimes it is really better to let things go and let destiny mix your cards. It was not always easy for me to accept that some things just cannot be controlled and need their „freedom“. But I learned that hard lesson, and I am glad about it.
I try to listen to my heart and the universe to find out, if control or letting loose is the right way to react. :)
3) Are you a leader or a follower?
I would say I am totally a follower – though, that is not the whole truth. I feel comfortable with the role of the follower, and I am very good in making the „hard work“ behind others.
But I found out that I am a great leader too – especially when the „leader“ is missing or does not do his job properly. There is nothing I hate more – if a leader is just talking and nothing is going forward! I hate that. Just talking and never acting does not help anyone.
There were some situations like these where I took over the role of the leader and where I found out that I have big potential in it.
But I am still glad if these situations do not happen to often – being the leader all the time would make me sick I believe.
4) On a scale of one to ten, how much did you like yourself today?
Totally a 10!!! :D
5) Today the best thing was ____?
The best thing IS that the sun is shining! <3
Sorry for my long answers. XD
