"If you don't like your life, quit talking about your unhappiness and try to fix it, no matter how difficult or impossible your situation seems. " -Dr. Laura
My husband is always telling me that I need to be a hero instead of a victim. This has been on my mind, because he told me I was being a victim today! :( (it was totally true) This new book by my personal fave, Dr. Laura, is all about that. I can't wait for it to come out! Dr. Laura changed my life and is the inspiration behind Pristine Wives (read my story in the side column). I love when I'm in the car when she's on the radio!Exerpt From The Book:
You are what you do - first do good then feel good
"There is, I believe, no such thing as unconditional self-acceptance. Those who say so are promulgating a pernicious lie. One must first live a decent, honorable and productive life. Only then do you get to feel good about yourself. Seeking to heedlessly gratify your desires or impulses of the moment to do things (or fail to do things) your conscience knows to be contrary to your standards of right, worthy and virtuous behavior is, in a mental, emotional and spiritual sense, akin to spending capital that you have not earned, and therefore will eventually cause you to feel very negatively ... about who and what you are. You cannot in the long run have your cake and eat it too. The longer... you behave in certain ways, the more it comes to define you, not only to others, but also to yourself."
