I Try to Remember that,
Evrybody doesn't have to love me,
Not evrybody have to love me,
Or even like me.
I don't necessarily like evrybody i know,
So why should everybody else like me?
I enjoy being liked and loved.
But if somebody doesn't like me,
I'll still be ok,
And
still feel like im an ok person.
I can't make somebody like me, any more,
Than someone can get me to like them.
I don't need approval at all times.
If someone does not appove of me,
I will still be okay.
It is okay to make mistakes,
Making mistakes is something we all do,
And im still a fine n worthwhile person,
Even when i make them.
Ther's no reason for me to get upset,
Whenever i make them.
Im trying, and if i make a mistake,
Im going to continue trying.
I can handle making a mistake.
It is okay for others to make mistakes too.
I will accept mistakes in myself,
And also mistakes that others make.
I am responsible for my day.
Im responsible for how i feel and do.
Nobody can make me feel anithing,
If i have a rotten day,
Im the one who allowed it to b tat way.
If i have a great day,
Im the one who deserves credit for being positive.
It is not the responsibility,
Of other people to change so that i can feel better.
Im the one who's in charge of my life.
Tis is my life.
I can handle it when things go wrong.
I dont need to watch out for things to go wrong.
Things usually go just fine,
And when they dont,
I can handle it.
I dont have to waste my energy worrying.
The sky won't fall in,
Things are gonna be okay.
I dont have to control things.
I will survive if things are different,
Than wat i want them to be.
I can accept things the way they are,
Acccept people the way they are,
And accept myself the way i am.
Ther's no reason to get upset if i cant change thigns,
To fit my idea of how they ought to be.
Ther's no reason why i should have to like evrything.
Even if i dont like it,
I can live with it.
I can change.
I dont have to be in a certain way,
Bcos of wat had happnd in e past.
Evry day is a new day.
It's silly to think i cant help being,
The way i AM.
Of course i can.
I can change.
Only if i want to.
