Maybe it isn't what you planned at least.....

        You may have PLANNED a grill out with your family and friends yet out of the blue....It starts pouring down rain.

       Although it wasn't what you had PLANNED at least you bought some awesome food that you can prepare for everyone, it's just everyone will be ENJOYING IT indoors instead of outdoors. 

       You may have PLANNED to get together with your friends but suddenly one by one many friends decides they can't come.

      And although it changes things you will still ENJOY the time you get to spend with those that do come.

       When things in your life are different then you had PLANNED just GO WITH THE FLOW and ENJOY WHAT YOU CAN.

       LIFE is LIFE and things happen in YOUR LIFE and that is JUST LIFE.

       YOUR CHOICE is whether you CHOOSE TO ENJOY IT OR NOT.

       When things are not WORKING OUT LIKE YOU PLANNED then......JUST FLUSH IT and ENJOY YOUR LIFE AS YOU ARE LIVING IT.

       We all ONLY have ONE LIFE to LIVE and it is UP TO YOU whether YOU ENJOY IT OR NOT and even on A BAD DAY then YOU CAN FLUSH AWAY A BAD DAY and ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU CAN.

Get PAST IT so YOU CAN GET PAST IT

      If you keep it FRESH ON YOUR MIND then OBVIOUSLY it will BE FRESH ON YOUR MIND. 

      So if you want to GET MOVING again then you need to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so YOU CAN GET MOVING.

     Have you ever met someone who CONSTANTLY keeps REPEATING the incident that HURT THEM?

     And even after you GET THEM to TALK about something else they AGAIN START REPEATING THE SAME STORY and IT AFFECTS them and it is AGAIN FRESH ON THEIR MIND.

      After TIME AND TIME AGAIN they are DETERMINED to KEEP IT FRESH ON THEIR MIND.

      So WHAT CAN YOU DO?

     UNFORTUNATELY the THOUGHTS THEY CHOOSE to THINK ABOUT is ONLY UP TO THEM.

     So you just GIVE THEM A HUG and then WALKWAY and FIND PEACE OF MIND FOR YOURSELF and MOVE ON.

       You can LEAD someone to the WATER but they will DIE OF THIRST unless they DECIDE THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE A DRINK.

You CHOOSE by WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO THINK ABOUT

      When you wake up each morning what is the first thing that you THINK ABOUT?

      Do you IMMEDIATELY THINK that you are LUCKY THAT YOU WOKE UP TODAY?

      If the MOMENT YOU WAKE UP you are THANKFUL then YOU WILL START OFF your day with a SMILE.

      If the MOMENT YOU WAKE UP you IMMEDIATELY THINK NEGATIVELY about WHAT YOU WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO then YOU START YOUR DAY OFF NEGATIVELY. 

      And since YOUR THOUGHTS will DETERMINE exactly HOW YOU WILL FEEL EACH DAY then CHOOSE WISELY.

       EVERY MORNING when YOU WAKE UP....JUST STOP and BE THANKFUL that YOU LUCKILY WOKE UP TODAY. 

      ACCEPT the CHALLENGES that COME YOUR WAY EACH DAY and ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU REACT.

     Because at the END OF THE DAY YOU WILL BE PROUD OF YOURSELF for THINKING and ACTING APPROPRIATELY. 

      If a NEGATIVE THOUGHT pops up in your mind then JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind before it EVER has a CHANCE to AFFECT YOU NEGATIVELY. 

      UNFORTUNATELY...We all have NEGATIVE THOUGHTS that try to GRAB OUR ATTENTION so if YOU THINK ABOUT IT then INSTANTLY that THOUGHT brings an AVALANCHE TO TRAP YOU.

      So when a NEGATIVE THOUGHT POPS UP.....JUST FLUSH IT so it DOESN'T have a NEGATIVE EFFECT ON YOU. 

      When our ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS in our mind has a POSITIVE THOUGHT THAT POPS UP then JUST GRAB IT and YOU WILL HAVE A POSITIVE DAY.

      ONLY YOU CHOOSE what YOU WILL THINK ABOUT and YOU will UNDERSTAND that WHAT YOU will SEE IN LIFE is BASED ON HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS.

Are you going to BRING IT with you?

      Sometimes during your Life's Journey you know that there will be times when you NEED TO TAKE A BREAK and.....well you NEED TO TAKE A BREAK.

      You know the NEGATIVE THOUGHTS that you are trying TO GET AWAY FROM.... make sure you DON'T TAKE IT WITH YOU.

      If you GET AWAY to RELAX then you NEED to ACCEPT WHAT HAPPENED then..... JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind and RELAX.

      Just remember that sometimes in Life THINGS HAPPEN as PART OF YOUR JOURNEY and it was meant to HAPPEN so YOU COULD LEARN AS YOU GREW.

     It's hard to IMAGINE BEING THANKFUL for a NEGATIVE PROBLEMS but ONE DAY you will LOOK BACK and BE THANKFUL. 

     YOU WILL REALIZE that had it NOT HAPPENED then YOU WOULDN'T have BECOME THE BEST YOU THAT YOU ARE TODAY.

     WHO YOU ARE is WHO YOU CHOSE TO BE despite the JOURNEYS you had to face along the way.

If it DIDN'T HAPPEN then...

       We make our PLANS that we want to ACCOMPLISH by what WE THINK WE KNOW about it.

      The other day a friend and I spent WEEKS MAKING PLANS so that we COULD ENJOY a fun day out.

      We sat TOGETHER and took the INFORMATION that WE BOTH HAD about WHERE we were going and WE TOOK QUITE A WHILE to PLAN a great outing.

      We both had spent WEEKS GATHERING everything that was ON OUR LIST.

       Then FINALLY IT WAS TIME TO GO and WE KNEW that we had EVERYTHING WE PLANNED for the OUTING.

        Then WHEN WE GET THERE... let's just say WE PLANNED A TRIP TOGETHER but APPARENTLY WE HAD NO IDEA about WHERE WE WERE ACTUALLY going to spend the day at.

      BUT INSTEAD OF what WE THOUGHT we ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE WHAT WE NEEDED for our OUTONG.

       LUCKILY WE LOVE EACH OTHER and therefore all WE COULD DID WAS LAUGH about IT and ENJOY OUR TIME TOGETHER.

       Sometimes WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES and EVERYTIME WE DO WE can JUST LAUGH ABOUT IT and JUST FLUSH IT and MOVE ON to ENJOY OUR DAY.

      To ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE takes FLUSHING AWAY A BAD DAY. 🫪

Even those that have always been against it suddenly......

       When you are GUESSING that DOESN'T MAKE IT A FACT.... it's just YOUR GUESS.

       So if you want to make an INFORMED DECISION then GET ALL THE FACTS so that YOU WILL BE INFORMED. 

       Because without the FACTS all you are doing is MAKING AN UNINFORMED DECISION.

      I had BELIEVED something AS A FACT then found out YEARS LATER that what I THOUGHT WAS A FACT was actually TOTALLY DIFFERENT than the TRUTH.

      If YOU BELIEVE that it is TRUE than TO YOU IT'S TRUE even if it REALLY ISN'T TRUE AT ALL. 

      THE TRUTH MAY HURT but if YOU KNOW THE TRUTH then YOU WILL FIGURE IT OUT as long as YOU GET THE FACTS.

      Telling someone AN HONEST NO will hurt them LESS because then THEY WILL KNOW TO ASK SOMEONE ELSE.

       BEFORE YOU FORM YOUR OPINION just GET ALL THE FACTS so that YOU DON'T STRESS about the DECISION YOU WILL MAKE. 

DON'T JUDGE ANYONE TOO HARSHLY.....because

       If you judge anyone TOO HARSHLY then you will make things HARDER FOR THEM.

      If you judge yourself TOO HARSHLY then you will make yourself TOO STRESSED to TRY IT AGAIN so that YOU CAN DO IT BETTER.

      If you JUDGE your FRIENDS TOO HARSHLY then you might make them CHOOSE TO IGNORE YOU because they DON'T DESERVE TO BE TREATED SO HARSHLY.

      When you want TO TEACH someone the BEST WAY TO DO IT then YOU SHOULD POLITELY EXPLAIN the REASONS WHY something SHOULD BE DONE DIFFERENTLY so THEY WILL UNDERSTAND. 

      But if YOU JUDGE THEM TOO HARSHLY then THEY WON'T LEARN ANYTHING except that the WAY YOU MAKE THEM FEEL IS UNCOMFORTABLE. 

       You may not UNDERSTAND just HOW HARSHLY YOUR JUDGEMENTS CAN BE so TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK BEFORE YOU SAY IT so that YOU ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING TO YOURSELF OR ANYONE that is TOO PAINFUL TO HEAR.
