Love is not complicated – relationships are complicated. – Michael Lipsey

“There’s too much negative energy out there.  Slouched shoulders.  Puppy eyes.  Excessive exhales.  Too many people with fixable problems that they don’t want to fix.  For some reason people love to identify themselves by their problems.  They just don’t know who they are without some major issue.  They love to say ‘I cant.’  Or: ‘If I was this, then I could be that.’  Or ‘I’ll always be this way because of xyz.’  But that kind of thinking never ends.  You’ll always have another box you can check.  You can always qualify for victimhood.  There’s always a reason to opt out of self-responsibility.  Because God forbid the problem is you.  It’s toxic thinking.  I can’t be around it.  It’s too draining.  I’m trying to grow.  I’m trying to be great.  I’m trying to be thankful for all that I have.  So when I feel negative energy, I’m looking for an exit strategy.  I’m not going to give up on you right away.  I’m going to speak my truth.  But if you have no interest in helping yourself, I’m out.”

im rereading cognitive behaviour therapy by avy joseph (page 61)

“My high school wasn’t very challenging.  I never had to struggle.  I was 15th in the class.  Section leader in my marching band.  Top of this.  Top of that.  Where I grew up, not too many people go to college out of state.  So when I got accepted into West Point, I assumed that I’d continue to succeed.  But I finished my first semester with a 2.5 GPA.  Not only was I barely surviving, but I felt like I was trying as hard as I could.  I started thinking: ‘Am I dumb?  Can I even do this?’  My second semester I had a physics teacher named Major Bowen.  He was honest with me about my faults.  He told me that I needed to get more sleep.  And that I had poor time management skills.  But he also told me some nice stuff.  He said that I was a good student to have in class.  And that I was definitely smart enough to succeed.  It’s nice to hear that stuff when you’re surrounded by so many naturally talented people.  Major Bowen showed me ways to become more efficient.  I started using calendars.  I started studying in groups.  I began tutoring people in calculus, because teaching is the best way to really learn a subject.  Six weeks into the second semester I got my first test back, and it was an ‘A.’  It was a ’90,’ but it was an ‘A.’  It was like: ‘Oh, wow.  I can do this.’”
