SELF DEVELOPMENT:
The same way use of self development is found in both motivation and self esteem, and that is to plan using small and achievable goals.
If you have an absence of goals, you have an absence of self development.
To remind you we are not talking about huge goals but small achievable ones.
QUOTE: 'Look for more and more things in every day to appreciate. Then watch your life in the days and weeks ahead blossom before you.' (Eva).
As with any goal planning, they needed to be routed using fundamental principles. Doing this ensures that you are creating positive actions.
Today's story examines the benefits of being routed with sound principles.
FREEDOM TO SOAR
One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.
Multicoloured creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing in the heady atmosphere above the earth.
As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check. Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind.
As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, "Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!" They soared beautifully even as they fought the imposed restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. "Freedom at last" it seemed to say. "Freedom to fly with the wind."
Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze.
It fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. "Freedom at last, " freedom to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction.
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Lord gives us adversity and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength.
Restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us tug at the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained.
We keep part of the commandment and (pardon the pun) never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights our Heavenly Father has in store for us, recognizing that some of the restraints that we may chafe under are actually the steadying force that helps us ascend and achieve.
(Lessons From Life, Chapter 12 - Free To Soar - Wayne B. Lynn)
QUOTE: 'In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.

I'm taking lithium and have been for about a year almost 2 and I do get regular blood tests but recently maybe 7-8months my thyroid has been swelling continuesly and my doctor said lithium can cause hypothyroidism but keeps telling me it's not serious but it's been getting worse enough where I have it everyday n it makes me sick. I take natural viatmins for it like sea kelp which made to promote thyroid health. But idk do you think I should take more drastic measures?
I need help finding the right medication for bipolar disorder?
Right now I'm on Seroquel, Depakote, and Geodon. I hate the idea of putting drugs and chemicals in my body so I would like a pill that does not require another one to go with it (like Seroquel and Depakote). I need medication that will not cause birth defects and that does not make me sleep because I can't stay awake in my class and at work. I also hear about a bipolar medication taken in shot form that I am interested in because I rather that then taking medication orally.
Please give me a list of ideal medications and their side effects with information on them.
Thank you :)
Confused and Stressed with Life... I need help...?
Okay, so I know most everybody(teenagers) have problems with their parents just as I do. (I'm currently 16 and turn 17 in April). My parents have been divorced since I was 8 and I usually end up getting thrown back and forth between my father(That lives in GA) and mother(That lives in TX) if they get tired of me and don't want me living with them. I've been on medication since I was 8 also, I've taken Adderral, Risperadal, Lamictal, Abilify(When I was sent to the psychiatric hospital the doctor thought it would make everything better apparently so he added that), and then my mom decided it would be best if she cut me off my meds because she claims that meds just make you suffer even more(She has a history of taking medication for bipolar) and I now got put on Vibryd for deppresion. When I was with my mom I was constantly abused but I put up with it (She would beat me because I didn't go to bed or if I upset her boyfriend) and sometimes in the middle of the night she'd call 911 to get taken by EMS because she complained that she felt like her body was shutting down and she was dying and so I was left alone lots of times by myself at night and couldn't get taken to school.(There was no bus transportation for the school I was going to). Now I live with my dad who's not even my maternal father but raised me since I was born(I don't know my real dad) He always yells and mentally abuses me saying I screw up his life because if I forget to do a chore or something small that upsets my stepmother I get blamed and yelled at and get everything in my room taken away with no privileges saying I'm a terrible daughter. If I have a problem I have no one to talk to my dad will just take it the wrong way and turn anything into an argument. My dad also threatens of sending me away to boot camp or to call the cops on me for the stupidest of reasons. Whenever I cry from all the stress or when I'm upset he claims that I'm faking it to get what I want when that's not true I'm doing it because I feel empty and lost on the inside. I just don't feel loved or cared about when he claims it he just treats everyone better than me. Everyday seems like a battle and life is a war... I'm a bright student at school I understand the material and I make outstanding grades on tests and such... I don't do drugs or go around sleeping with guys. I just have problems with my family, not even a family therapist helps our situations.(It was my idea to get family treatment but when I bring it up my dad just sighs and acts upset and angry when we go to therapy claiming our family has no problems whatsoever) Lots of times I just feel like making my death seem accidental but sometimes I see it as I can make it through it and leaving my family behind and getting a great education and having a family of my own... I'm just at the end up my rope.. My grandpa recently died and the family friend is dying also.... The only thing I look forward to are my friends at school or talking to my boyfriend on the phone... I feel like a bird in a cage with all these restraints set on me for no reason I cant ever express my feelings or emotions in my own house or I get yelled and moaned at.... I'm just confused...... I really would want to just move out and live on my own but my dad says I wouldn't make it because I can't take care of myself just because I make some mistakes like not taking a shower on time or not eating right.... It's because I've been so depressed lately I started habits like biting my nails off till they bleed and now I'm biting my skin..... I feel like life isn't worth living if you have to go through all that crap when you know there's happiness at the other side but I'm not going to get to it until I'm 18 and on my own. What do I do now.......
