WILL YOU BE A GOOD TEAMMATE?

      Although the day was tough I made sure when I was FRUSTRATED that I STOPPED for a moment to REMEMBER the GOOD THINGS that happened today.

     Family gatherings are NOT ALWAYS full of EXCITING EVENTS but if you STOP and FIND some HAPPY MOMENTS in it YOU WILL FIND SOME.

      Where you are going will be FUN but remember to leave early enough to withstand the NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES that you will find in TRAFFIC JAMS while you drive there.

      People seem to EXPECT that in order to HAVE A GOOD DAY they WON'T have to have ANY BAD TIMES that day.

      BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF because NOTHING IS PERFECT, not anyone or anything is PERFECT but YOU CAN ENJOY EVERYDAY if you LOOK for the POSITIVE THINGS about EACH DAY.

      People EXPECT THINGS to be always PEACEFUL and HAPPY but then they REALIZE that we are all DIFFERENT and it WILL TAKE COOPERATION TO MAKE IT WORK out PEACEFULLY

      That is why there are so MANY DIVORCES because to be a TEAM IT TAKES TEAMWORK so that EVERYONE FEELS HAPPY and if YOU AREN'T being PART OF A TEAM then IT WON'T WORK.

      You could have a GREAT BUSINESS PLAN but if EVERYONE DOESN'T WORK AS A TEAM then your BUSINESS PLAN WILL FAIL.

      If you want to have PEACE OF MIND then as a TEAM you will have to take all the NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES in your LIFE and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND has ROOM TO GET IN. 

     When things go wrong during your life's journey you must ASK YOURSELF are YOU a TEAM PLAYER? 

     If you ARE NOT A TEAM PLAYER then you ARE NOT PART OF A TEAM.

     

A STRANGER in CYBERSPACE is....

     If your FRIENDS are in CYBERSPACE do YOU THINK that YOU truly KNOW THEM?

     If the ONLY HUG that you get is a POKE from SOMEONE IN CYBERSPACE then DID YOU REALLY GET HUGGED?

     They might TELL YOU WHO they are but SAYING WHO YOU ARE is just WORDS that are COMING FROM CYBERSPACE, but do you KNOW WHO THEY REALLY ARE?

     They might TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT to HEAR but is that THE TRUTH or just LIES to GET YOU LISTENING so they can MAKE YOU BELIEVE IT?

     Can you TELL THE DIFFERENCE between things that ARE REAL or did AI FOOL YOU to BELIEVE in something that DOESN'T EXIST?

     I have BEEN FOOLED into BELIEVING that something WAS REAL but FIND OUT LATER that it was an AI VIDEO that WAS NOT REAL AT ALL.

    Have YOU EVER BEEN FOOLED into BELIEVING a CYBERSPACE LIE?

     Unfortunately just because THEY SAY IT doesn't mean that IT IS TRUE.

     Just because you SAW IT ON VIDEO does NOT mean that IT REALLY HAPPENED.

     It is SCARY TO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE OR HEAR but the TRUTH is YOU CAN'T because IT MIGHT NOT BE TRUE.

     The INTERNET has MANY THINGS that ARE GOOD for us but it ALSO IS SCARY because it COULD be a CYBERSPACE FAKE.

     I THINK that eventually people will get TIRED OF THE CYBERSPACE LIES and they will START HANGING OUT WITH REAL PEOPLE that they KNOW ARE REAL PEOPLE. 

     When you WANT A REAL HUG go VISIT YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY so you CAN GET A REAL HUG not a CYBERSPACE POKE.

Sometimes YOU CAN if YOU CHOOSE TO

        Just because you bought a lottery ticket DOESN'T mean that YOU WILL WIN but if you DON'T BUY a lottery ticket YOU DEFINITELY HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING.

       If you WANT to be a AIRPLANE PILOT you HAVE to go to a school to LEARN HOW TO FLY A PLANE FIRST.

       But you WON'T GET A PILOT LICENSE if you DON'T LEARN HOW to PASS THE TEST NEEDED to GET YOUR PILOT LICENSE.

      If you WANT to RELAX you HAVE to LEARN HOW to take YOUR PAINFUL EXPERIENCES and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so YOU CAN RELAX. 

      If you WANT PEACE OF MIND then you HAVE to LEARN HOW to MAKE ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN. 

      Your LIFE'S JOURNEY is hard enough WITHOUT CARRYING ALL THE HEAVY BAGGAGE from your YESTERDAYS WITH YOU, like CARRYING SANDBAGS as you go.

       If you NEVER THROW AWAY your GARBAGE at your home, before you KNOW IT your HOUSE WILL START STINKING.

     

Make IT WORK even though it's an ADJUSTMENT

     If you DROP something then you should PICK IT UP.

     I was shopping the other day at a store who's OPEN WALKWAYS were FULL of OBJECTS that customers HAD DROPPED.

     I had PUSHED my way around it but I have to say that I DIDN'T get a CHANCE to really LOOK because other people were trying to PUSH there way down to ALSO LOOK.

      I WANDERED if the MANAGER REALIZED that they could SELL MORE STUFF if customers had ROOM TO STOP and LOOK.

      But I SAVED MONEY I guess SO I should BE HAPPY but there was several things I WANTED TO GET out of the LEFTOVER HALLOWEEN STUFF.

     And I DIDN'T EVEN REALLY LOOK because I FELT PRESSURED to get out of the way so the OTHER CUSTOMERS could SQUEEZE THROUGH.

     Then when I went to the NEXT AISLE to LOOK and there was TWO LADIES TALKING and their children were GRABBING STUFF and THROWING it down ANYWHERE 

     But I had to STOP GETTING UPSET and JUST FLUSH IT and get what I NEEDED from ANOTHER  STORE.

      I KNEW that GETTING ANGRY would ONLY HURT ME so I CHECKED OUT at Walmart and then STOPPED at Walgreens on my way home to get to LOOK at their HALLOWEEN LEFTOVERS.

     I HAD TO ADJUST but I came home PEACEFUL and I had EVERYTHING that I WENT OUT for I just had TO GO to TWO STORES.    

      So like the PLAQUE on my wall says...

SO THIS ISN'T HOME SWEET HOME, ADJUST.

You might be BROKE but you can FIND FREE FUN and HAVE FUN

      We all are facing overwhelming prices on everything that we need.

       But unfortunately throughout your LIFE'S JOURNEY there will be times when for a short time prices get higher and times are CHAOTIC.

      Doing what IS RIGHT means even when it is a time of STRUGGLES we DIG DEEP to GET THROUGHT IT with HONESTY. 

      DON'T do ANYTHING when TIMES ARE TOUGH to get through it that YOU SHOULDN'T DO or YOU WILL REGRET IT after the TROUBLES GO AWAY.

      Because eventually the STRUGGLES WILL END and YOU WANT TO BE PROUD about HOW YOU HANDLED IT.

      The other day it was a CHALLENGING DAY but at the END OF THE DAY I was PROUD of HOW I DEALT with the CHALLENGES I FACED.

      People get FRUSTRATED when they ARE BROKE so they can't SPEND MONEY but there are MANY WAYS to HAVE FUN FOR FREE.

     Even just going to a store you can have FUN LOOKING at things FOR FREE.

     You can go to a PARK or go to a FOREST FOR FREE and ENJOY NATURE and BREATHE IN FRESH AIR FOR FREE.

     You can SPEND TIME with your family or friends and ENJOY IT TOTALLY FOR FREE.

     When TIMES ARE TOUGH just STAY STRONG and DO WHAT IS RIGHT because when THINGS GET BETTER YOU WILL BE PROUD of HOW YOU HANDLED IT....and ENJOY the CONSEQUENCES  because of HOW YOU HANDLED IT.

It's UP TO YOU if you can JUST FLUSH IT or NOT... CAN YOU?

      Your brain KNOWS WHAT YOUR MIND TELLS IT.

      You DON'T have a FEELING without A THOUGHT that MAKES YOU FEEL IT in YOUR BRAIN.

       Until you HEAR IT your BRAIN will NEVER KNOW ABOUT IT  but the MINUTE YOUR THOUGHTS TELL THE BRAIN then YOU KNOW.

      You can be having a GREAT TIME then later YOU HEAR about something NEGATIVE that happened and INSTANTLY IT IS a HORRIBLE DAY. 

       But it is UP TO YOU to THINK OF A POSITIVE THOUGHT so you can take the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT so the POSITIVE THOUGHT can MAKE YOU SMILE.

     YOUR THOUGHTS are UP TO YOU so when you are FEELING STRESSED ask yourself WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

      AFTER I COMPLAIN about WHAT NEGATIVE THING happened TODAY I TELL MYSELF about TWO POSITIVE THINGS that happened TODAY.

      Because I WANT to take the NEGATIVITY AWAY so I can HAVE A POSITIVELY HAPPY THOUGHT about MY DAY.

     IT'S UP TO YOU so can you JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND has ROOM to GET IN?

     

    

     

     

PAYING ATTENTION means THINKING BEFORE YOU DECIDE

       Of course wherever you go you should ALWAYS RESPECT their RULES so things will remain RESPECTFUL to everyone there.

      But YOU MUST ALSO ALWAYS RESPECT YOUR BOUNDARIES so you will ALWAYS FEEL RESPECTED.

       When you are MAKING PLANS you have to PAY ATTENTION to WHAT IS EXPECTED of you and if YOU DON'T LIKE what is EXPECTED then DON'T GO.

      The only way to BE COMFORTABLE in YOUR OWN SKIN is to BE COMFORTABLE with WHAT YOU DO in the SKIN YOU ARE IN.

      YOUR CHOICES are YOUR CHOICES so BEFORE YOU DECIDE just STOP and THINK about WHAT YOUR ACTIONS will bring.

       Having FUN is FUN as long as what YOU DO FOR FUN won't CAUSE YOUR MIND to SCREAM to REMIND YOU that YOU WILL REGRET IT if YOU DO IT.

      Having FUN is great MEMORIES YOU WILL REMEMBER but there are many things that SOUND FUN but YOU KNOW that YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DO IT.

       So if YOU KNOW THEN DON'T so YOU can at least AVOID WHATEVER TERRIBLE MEMORIES it WOULD HAVE CAUSED YOU.

       Life is FULL OF CHOICES and as long as YOU THINK BEFORE YOU CHOOSE then YOU WILL DO THE BEST YOU COULD POSSIBLY DO. 

       UNFORTUNATELY sometimes we make the WRONG DECISION but OUR MISTAKES are HONEST MISTAKES that WE LEARN FROM with NO REGRETS because we did what WE THOUGHT was BEST FOR US.
