31 Day Reset: Day 2

I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul. ---William Ernest Henley (From the poem "Invictus")

Day 2: Conduct A Life Assessment:

  1. What do I LOVE about this area of my life?
  2. What do I HATE about it?
Lifestyle: I love that I am single with no attachments. I have my own apartment and car. So, I can do whatever and go wherever I want. I hate that I am limited because of funds and that I don't have more people to kick it with.
Work: I love that I have a job. I hate that my boss has cut my hours and he keeps hiring more people.
Education: I love my educational background. I feel I have been taught by the best and have attended the best schools. I hate that I let some opportunities slide by while I was in undergraduate. I feel like I could have gotten so much more out of the experience but I was a hindrance to myself.
Finances: I love that I have enough money to get by. I am surviving on my own.I hate that my finances are not in order. I need to pay off two loans, and stack my money for the future.
Health: I love that I have never had any major health problems. I hate that I am at risk for major health problems. I would love to lose some weight so I won't be at such a high risk. I also want to be closer to God. Spiritually, I feel empty at times.
Family: I love my family for who they are. I hate my family for what they are.
Relationships: I love the people who love me. I hate how I sometimes push people away because of the wall I have built around myself.

I feel as if I should reflect on my responses. I am pretty aware of what I lack in my life. I am slowly working on these things just one day at a time. Who doesn't wish that they could just wake up and everything would be fixed or different? I know I do but the first step for me was realizing I only have control of myself. The events that are occurring around me are out of my hands, but I can control how I respond. Like I said, one day at a time. If it gets to hard, then I will take it moment by moment.
