Trying!!!

Have you ever felt like when you have a certain type of relationship with somebody, you tend to try more than normal or make yourself too available? Like you are willing to do any and everything in your power to make another person happy and yet it doesn't seem like it gets you anywhere. Having someone tell you that they appreciate you compared to feeling appreciated are two different things. It is as if they do not realize everything you do for them big or small based off their actions. Actions do speak louder than words on so many levels.

Whether the relationship is like, lust, or love, something keeps you trying. People believe in love at first sight, but how do they really know that it was love instead of like or lust. If you start off a relationship believing its love but in all reality its lust you are doomed. If you are under the mindset or even convinced yourself that it is love, you are in for temporary happiness. Once you really know what you are getting yourself into then you proceed.

What is it that keeps you trying though? It could be the way you feel for that person and you are looking for that to be reciprocated. Like the way you feel could have you looking stupid when it's all said and done. In many situations you may have felt like throwing in the towel, but something kept you there. It could just be the idea of having that relationship or what the relationship means to you. Just think about it.

Be Careful Where You Invest Your Energy

Putting energy into certain situations, conversations, and relationships can be very exhausting when it's misplaced. Investing time and effort into things that don't deserve your attention depletes you of your resourcefulness, and essentially, your happiness as well. I think a lot of times it is easy to feed into a situation that is petty or negative. It may not be that big of a deal, but you don't find that out until after you've blown a fuse. Problems arise when emotionally based responses start taking a toll on you physically and mentally.

Being positive and investing the best parts of you into places where you will reap benefits plus interest actually energizes you. As opposed to taking every chance you get to point out a flaw or be negative (which depletes you). Be mindful of the situations you put yourself in daily. Slowly but surely they will start to have a long lasting effect on how you operate and perceive things and people. Just be sure to constantly motivate yourself and pay attention to those who bring positivity into your life. Remove yourself from situations that bring you down.
