Self-love Never Hurt A Greyhead, Yet


DISCIPLINE and SELF-LOVE = STRENGTH and POWER

Too many times women, even men, of Grey Divorce (who I often call Greyheads) suffer needlessly in the areas of esteem, and various self-disciplines. Their strength wanes until they are not much good for themselves, let alone another. However, I've learned that SELF IS FIRST, not a new 'other' or the one who left you behind!

Let's face it, divorce over forty, fifty, and beyond, is a grungy place to end up. It's like living under an eternally starless night. What a weakening place to be!  
But, THERE'S ALWAYS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL 
(but you gotta keep walking)

THERE IS FRESH AIR IN THE MIDST OF SMOTHERING GRIEF, TOO.
(but you gotta dig for it)

  THERE ARE STREAMS IN THE DESSERT
(but you must trust and believe it)

And, THERE IS STRENGTH and POWER IN LOVING YOURSELF
(but you must [we must] never give up)

These possibilities all point back to you and me, however. There is no proverbial six-pack, or real one, without discipline, which is nothing more than self-love. This is a lesson I'm learning with you!

When I ran across this article How to Grow Self-Discipline, by Robin Sharma, I had to share it with you. Take the meat and leave any bones, of course, but check it out nonetheless. Don't just be inspired there in your seat, either. Get up and do this in the name of self-love. That ballerina above didn't get that way by giving up, lacking discipline, or not loving herself, that's for sure. Let's do this together!
