My promise to myself..

I will not apologise for who I am.,
I will not pretend to be someone Im not.,
I will no longer entertain the bad attitudes of those who project negativity towards me.,
I will not feel as though I do not matter.,
I will refuse to chase other peoples perception of perfect as perfect is a myth.,
I will live happily, as I choose to, without malice, without judgement, without comparison.,
I will continue to consider my family's best interests as my most important focus.,
I will deflect any unwanted outside opinion on what my best interests are.,
I will cherish what I have in this life, both relational and soulful.,
I will continue on my path, carving out my dreams regardless of others unhelpful opinions.,
I will strive to learn more and more each day, nothing will get in my way.,
I will continue to set goals, making them higher and higher each time.,
I will never compromise my morals, my beliefs, and what I stand for.... no matter what.,
I will not play mind games, I refuse to, life is way too short.,
I will only trust where trust has been earned.,
I will maintain my big heart, and always give, but in order to do so, I must receive.,
I will endeavour to become a better mother, a better wife, a better friend, always improving.,
I will cherish the important people in my world and tell them often.,
I will continue to teach my boys about honesty, integrity and respect.,

I will never forget those who have taught me some of life's most important lessons.,

I will always put my family first, as they are my world.,
I will never be fooled by a mirage, for they are merely a trick to the eye.,
I will always speak my mind.,
I will not be made to feel inferior, I matter.,
I will proudly stand for who I am and never alter myself for fear of non-acceptance.,

I will keep my promise...  (and if you don't like it...... TOUGH!)
