PROGRESS:


We cannot afford to put our needs on
hold, waiting for another person to
fulfill us, make our life better, or come
around and be who and what we want
that person to be.

If we have decided we want a particular
relationship or want to wait about
making a decision in a particular
relationship, then we must go on with
our own life in the interim.

That can be hard. It can feel natural to
put our life on hold. That's a
circumstance that can hook our low
self-esteem.

We can get into this situation in a
number of ways. We can do this
waiting for a letter, waiting for a job,
waiting for a person, waiting for an
event.

What is something I could be doing
now to take care of myself, make
myself feel better, get my needs met
in an appropriate, healthy way?

Sometimes, we get the answer we
want immediately. Sometimes, we
wait for a while. Sometimes, things
don't work out exactly the way we
hoped. But they always work out for
good, and often better than we
expected.

And in the meantime, we have
manifested love for ourselves by
living our own life and taking the
control away from others.

Stopping living our life to make a
thing happen doesn't work. All it
does is make us miserable, because
we have stopped living our life.
