Are You the Peace Maker or the Peace Breaker?

Before you answer, give some deep thought to your response. Be honest with yourself. You deserve the truth!



Many of us get caught up in the need for drama. Just when our lives seem to be filled with peace we look for breaks in it and if we don’t find any we create DRAMA. Perhaps, too much idle time some might say.



Yet, for others it is a lot deeper than that. Self-awareness is so important. Though, there are few people who are actually self-aware. There is a void that needs to be filled when you have a constant need for drama. For some, it is a lack of attention, love, recognition, confidence or even respect.



To overcome the need for drama you must start the self-evaluation process at once. If for some reason you cannot be honest with yourself consult someone close to you. Someone you trust to give it to you straight. Choose someone that has your best interest in mind.



I hope that you have surrounded yourself with quality people. These are people that keep you motivated, listen when you talk, applaud your strengths and more importantly honestly acknowledge your weaknesses. If you don’t have a quality person in your life, that must become a top priority.



Learn to love yourself and all the gifts you possess. Learn to improve your areas of weakness. Learn to accept you for you and understand that you need not compete with others. Simply compete with yourself in order to become the absolute best that you can be.



There is an underlying reason why you crave drama. Perhaps, it’s the attention that it brings. Many of us have a yearning for attention. It’s amazing, when we don’t receive the positive attention we are so desperately seeking we retreat to activities that get us negative attention. Go beneath the surface and ask yourself some serious questions. Why am I seeking attention? Do I feel that I am enough? Am I good enough? Can I make decisions that make me feel good about myself? Do I love myself and the body that I reside in? I would suggest that you make a list of 30 things that you like about yourself. Yes, at first it may take some time to pull those thirty things out but they are within you. Then make a list of 5 things that you don’t like and would like to change.



You have awesome gifts…put them to positive use! Take time for yourself. Give yourself the positive attention that you are craving.
