How they FEEL ABOUT it doesn't affect how you FEEL ABOUT IT

     You KNOW that you CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE so you KNOW that NOT EVERYONE will be PLEASED with what you do.

     You KNOW that we are ALL UNIQUELY DIFFERENT so you KNOW that we are NOT ALL THE SAME.

     You KNOW that what WORKS for someone else may NOT WORK FOR YOU so you may have to do things DIFFERENTLY.

     You KNOW that the CARDS you are DEALT IN LIFE are the CARDS you have to PLAY WITH IN YOUR LIFE, that's just LIFE.

    You may THINK the GRASS IS GREENER on the OTHER SIDE but if you LOOK CLOSELY you WILL SEE that THEIR GRASS is REALLY JUST FULL OF GREEN WEEDS.

     So LOOK CLOSELY and then you will SEE that you should be THANKFUL for your MINTY COLORED HEALTHY LAWN.

     Being your GENUINE UNIQUE SELF is what makes you SPECIAL so BE YOURSELF and LET THEM BE THEM.

    

We all have to LEARN HOW TO find the LIGHTER MOMENTS to SHARE

     When someone ASK YOU how you are doing.... you have to DECIDE WHAT YOU want them to know.

     You don't have to give them THE ENTIRE LIST of OBSTACLES that you have had to FACE TODAY.

     They HONESTLY REALLY DON'T need to know nor do they care that you spilled your coffee TODAY.

    They HONESTLY REALLY DON'T need to know nor do they care that your puppy chewed up your favorite shoes TODAY.

   They are REALLY JUST ASKING to be POLITE and START a CONVERSATION with you.

    When they ASK How you are doing TODAY remember to STOP.... and THINK about WHICH MOMENT YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH THEM.

    YOU will have to SCAN WHAT YOU DID TODAY and CHOOSE to FOCUS ON a l LIGHTER MOMENT that you experienced TODAY to SHARE WITH THEM.

     This is what those around you that you love do and have been doing.... They CHOOSE TO only SHARE a LIGHTER MOMENT with you.

    You may THINK YOU KNOW what someone is GOING THROUGH but the TRUTH IS... YOU ONLY KNOW what they CHOSE TO PORTRAIT TO YOU.

   Which is WHY...... you should not judge anyone so harshly for what THEY CHOOSE TO DO because you really have NO IDEA WHY THEY CHOSE TO DO WHAT THEY DID.

    

     

    

     

   

Do you WAVE at the Driver who MADE ROOM for you to pull out on the road way?

      Well I hope everyone reading this would at least give a quick HAND POKE IN THE AIR as a gester of a genuine THANK YOU.

     I have to ADMIT that it is that THANK YOU WAVE I anticipate getting that makes me GLADLY MAKE ROOM for you to pull out comfortably.

     I ALWAYS say YOUR WELCOME regardless of whether they GIVE ME A THANK YOU WAVE or NOT.

     But I have to ADMIT that the TONE IN MY VOICE when I say those WORDS is 100% based on whether I GET A WAVE OR A POKE IN THE AIR or NOT.

    When my Son HOLDS THE DOOR OPEN at our local post office he LOOKS FORWARD to that LOOK IN THEIR EYES WITH A SMILE that they greet him with.

    The POSITIVE EFFECT OF a random ACT OF KINDNESS makes BEING KIND something we LOOK FORWARD TO FEELING PROUD of OURSELVES for our KIND GESTURE.

    BE KIND to EVERYONE YOU MEET because you have no idea what they may be facing. 

    You would be SURPRISED at HOW WELL people including people you THOUGHT YOU KNEW very well were HIDING THEIR PAIN.

    A HOUSEHOLD may LOOK LIKE A HAPPY HOME but the people LIVING IN THAT HOUSEHOLD may NOT actually be HAPPY AT ALL.

     You don't have to know their personal business or KNOW them at all to KNOW that YOUR KINDNESS would be APPRECIATED.

    A SMILE makes a SMILE HUG THE FACE of WHOEVER YOU SEND A SMILE TO and they CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE BACK AT YOU.

    TRY IT.... SMILE at someone and you WILL SEE that they can't help but SMILE BACK at you.

    AND BEST OF ALL....You can HUG SOMEONE WITH A SMILE without fear of CATCHING THE FLU.

Make a PATHWAY to get WHERE you want to be

      There may not seem to be a PATHWAY that you can SEE that you CAN TAKE but you can MAKE A PATHWAY to get you WHERE you want to be.

     There may not be any EASY WAY to do it but it is still EASY to get there if you are willing to put in the HARD WORK that is NECESSARY to get you WHERE you want to be.

     Not everything you WANT is what you will ACTUALLY GET in LIFE but you SHOULD still BE HAPPY with what you DO HAVE.

      Don't let a MINOR SETBACK or a HURDLE along your PATHWAY on your LIFE'S JOURNEY stop you from reaching any of your DREAMS.

     Don't EXPECT INSTANT GRATIFICATION for things that you know REALISTICALLY will TAKE TIME TO ACHIEVE.

     Rome wasn't BUILT in a day and it's because they CHOSE to BUILD it STURDY REGARDLESS of HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE.

      If you want it to WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME you have to be willing to PUT IN the TIME it will REQUIRE to make sure it CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

     If YOU REALLY WANT IT then YOU HAVE TO do WHATEVER IT TAKES for as LONG AS IT WILL TAKE YOU to GET IT. 

     NOTHING FROM NOTHING LEAVES NOTHING. 

      

     

 

What you do is up to you

     You can try to convince yourself that it wasn't your fault but if you chose to do it then obviously it is your fault.

    It is up to you to do the right thing because saying other people are doing it doesn't mean that it is the right thing to do.

    The path that looks more traveled can look more worn simply because when people went that way they had to turn around and come back down the path because it lead to a dead end.

    In life you may have to make some tough decisions but as long as you get all the facts to make an informed decision then you at least have a chance to make the right decision.

    Sometimes you can still make a mistake but as long as you did what you thought was right you will be proud of your decision no matter how things turn out.

    You can blame it on the moon if you want to but the truth is it is up to you to do the right thing because it is you that will pay the consequences for everything that you do.

     It's your Life to live and the Life you will live is made up of the choices that you make along the way.

Do they make you feel STRESSED OUT?

     Have you ever WALKED into a room and you could INSTANTLY just FEEL the TENSION IN THE AIR?  

    Have you ever MET someone and INSTANTLY realized that you didn't want to INTERACT with them?

    Have you ever finally ACHIEVED YOUR GOAL only to then REALIZE it wasn't IMPORTANT ANYMORE?

     When you FEEL IT deep down in the PIT OF YOUR STOMACH it ISN'T ALWAYS GAS. 

     Sometimes It's your BUILT-IN WARNING SYSTEM trying to WARN YOU...... and you should HEED THE WARNING.

      When your SPIDEY SENSES get TRIGGERED and GO OFF you NEED to FOCUS AND GO INTO STEALTH MODE.

     If you FEEL IT then......REACT ACCORDINGLY and everything will BE ALRIGHT.

     KEEP your EYES WIDE OPEN so you can SEE what you NEED TO SEE.

     KEEP your EARS CLEAN so you can HEAR what you NEED TO HEAR.

     AND....... LEARN THE DIFFERENCE between what's POSSIBLE and what's IMPOSSIBLE.... because if it SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE that MEANS IT ISN'T TRUE.

    

Do you want A FRESH START in 2025?

     TODAY is the START of OUR BEST YEAR EVER because we will take all the CRAP from OUR PAST and JUST FLUSH IT out of OUR MINDS and OUT OF OUR LIFE so we can have a FRESH START.

    From this DAY FORWARD what DIDN'T WORK in 2024 we WILL NOT BRING INTO 2025......CHEERS TO OUR BEST YEAR EVER.

     I feel LIGHTER and the FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHTER TODAY because it's a NEW YEAR and I  DIDN'T BRING any of OLD CRAP so it is TRULY A FRESH START. 

    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE 🥂
