Enjoy yourself!

"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  [13+]
Vincent Van Gogh said, "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint', then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." What is your 'you cannot ____' voice always ragging on you about, and how good are you at silencing it?

’You cannot enjoy yourself’ is something I often experience. It has something to do with growing up in a dysfunctional family. I try to silence it every day by trying to enjoy myself as best I can. I even have a Weekly Goal of Enjoying myself here at WdC, a reminder that I am worth it to enjoy life. But because of my background, I find it hard to see the bright side of life. I am what you may call a pessimist because of it. The glass is always half empty. Surrounding myself with optimistic people here at WdC is part of my plan to see Life in a better, brighter way.

That’s what I love about Americans, by the way, the most optimistic group of people I ever encountered. Some call it shallow, I call it great. I love that. We as Europeans tend to brew at the inside. Not a very healthy way of living. So I am still learning to overcome that.
