There is a saying (i think) that kind of means that - the more you chase something the farther it goes. It is only when you give up chase that it will find its way to you.
Well, specifically I am talking about my need for recognition/acknowledgement and to be understood/the need for someone to believe in me. Believe that I am indeed capable of doing great things.
My boss believed in me. My mom believes in me. That's it. I wish I could say that of my husband - he knows that I am but he can't quite give it to me yet. That is my lesson to learn - to not expect even from sources that you are expected to expect from. I probably hurt him with my expression of dissatisfaction and with my need for him to agree with me against his mother.
Things that still hurt me are people attributing qualities and propounding theories about me that are not just less than flattering but outright untrue and relinquishing any personal responsibility in the matter. I guess it is always easy to just blame someone else.
Honesty is both a luxury and a burden. Ooh - and I just read this - The only keeper of your happiness is you. Stop giving people the power to control your smile, your worth and your attitude - neither husband nor mother-in-law.
So I am gonna quit complaining..
Have a good day.
