What happened may have happened but it DOESN'T DEFINE YOU

       If you keep THINKING about what HAPPENED it keeps it FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

      And whatever you have FRESH ON YOUR MIND TODAY even if it HAPPENED YEARS AGO will decide YOUR FEELINGS TODAY.

      So if something HAPPENED that has HURT YOU then REMEMBER that you will at the time FEEL HURT EVERYTIME that you have it FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

      You may not have had any WAY TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING the first time but TODAY you can LEARN what you NEED TO then...

      .....take that PAINFUL EXPERIENCE and JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR MIND so it CAN'T HURT YOU TODAY.

      And it may CONTINUE to try to GRAB YOUR  ATTENTION over and over again but REMEMBER.....

     .....the SECOND it POPS UP IN YOUR MIND then.....IMMEDIATELY....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so it CAN'T KEEP HURTING YOU. 

     Things HAPPEN during your LIFES JOURNEY and sometimes you have GOOD DAYS and sometimes you have a BAD DAY....THAT'S JUST LIFE.

     Our minds have an ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS and WE GET TO CHOOSE which THOUGHTS WE CHOOSE TO THINK ABOUT.....

    .... and WE CHOOSE which THOUGHTS we FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THEM AT ALL!  🚽 JUST FLUSH IT 😳 

     

     

     

  

Make what counts truly important and enjoy it

     When you were a toddler you couldn't wait to ride a bike like your older siblings as you speeded along with them on your cool bike with training wheels.

     Although you had excitement about one day being old enough one day and be riding a bike like theirs you still had a blast riding the bike you did have.

     You might dream about what you plan to do one day then as you get older and experience life that you may actually decide that you no longer want to do it anymore.

     Because the truth is that you really won't know what you truly want to do until you actually learn enough to truly know.

      Acting too soon can keep you from seeing what you would have seen if you looked for a while before you decided or.....

    ....You could move too slow by looking too hard that by the time you figure it out you missed out.

      Your life's journey will be full of lessons and experiences that you will learn from as you grow. 

       But if something is really important to you then no matter how hard it is to get..... you will do it because it is important to you. 

      But learn how to not waste a moment of your time, money or energy on anyone or anything if it is not important to you.

      Because it would be a waste of your precious time that can and should only be used for what is important to you or someone you love.

      To enjoy life you have to enjoy it while you are living it on both the good days and the bad days.

      

     

LIFE is LIFE so ADJUST as you GO

      If you ASSUME that your LIFE'S JOURNEY will always be HOLLY JOLLY all the time you will be DISAPPOINTED.

     Because REAL LIVES have REAL PROBLEMS no matter WHO YOU ARE nor how HARD YOU WORKED....LIFE is just YOUR JOURNEY.

     And THEN YOU REALIZE that the ONLY WAY TO ENJOY LIFE is to ENJOY IT WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

     We all ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE to LIVE and if you LEARN how to ACCEPT and BE THANKFUL  for the LIFE you have been given you will ADJUST AS YOU GO.

    Like the plaque on my wall says...

I asked God for all things that I might ENJOY LIFE. He gave me LIFE that I might ENJOY all things.

    If you want PEACE OF MIND then LEARN how to take the NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES on your  LIFE'S  JOURNEY and LEARN what you NEED TO then...

     .....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

ACCEPTING IT doesn't mean that.....

     Just because you ACCEPT what has happened doesn't mean that you AGREE with what has happened.

     It just means that LIFE IS LIFE and the ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE is full of UPS and DOWNS as well as TWISTS and TURNS.

     Which is why the church sign I saw taught me to ACCEPT IT then JUST FLUSH IT out of my mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

     The church sign said....

     It's okay to sit on your pity-potty every now and again just be sure and FLUSH when you are done.

      Because no matter what you do LIFE is full of CHALLENGES that you will have to FACE because that is LIFE.

      Some people FACE MORE PROBLEMS than others do but that is just LIFE and we all have to ADJUST to ENJOY LIFE while we are LIVING IT.

     WASTING your LIFE COMPLAINING about all the CHALLENGES that you have FACED just keeps it FRESH ON OUR MIND.

     So take the PAINFUL EXPERIENCES you are FACING and LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO from them then....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

    Because for you to HAVE PEACE OF MIND you have to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN. 

     

Getting REAL with YOURSELF means....

    If you are HONEST with YOURSELF then you will HONESTLY KNOW what is THE TRUTH so you will KNOW WHAT IS REAL.

     If you PRETEND that something NEGATIVE that is HAPPENING ISN'T REAL then you could GET HURT by WHAT IS HAPPENING.

     BEING HONEST MAY HURT but you will KNOW so that you can PLAN to have the BEST OUTCOME DESPITE what is HAPPENING.

     When you are YOUNG you ASSUME that everything is just FUN but the OLDER you get you REALIZE that LIFE is HARDER than YOU THOUGHT.

     When you KNOW WHAT YOU GOT then you can USE WHAT YOU GOT to GET THROUGH the ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE.

     Because whether you WANT TO KNOW IT OR NOT you have to GO WITH THE FLOW and BEND LIKE A PRETZEL to ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

     As long as YOU ARE HONEST WITH YOURSELF then YOU WILL FIND a way to MAKE IT WORK. 

    

     

Just because you THINK YOU SHOULD is.....

      What YOU DECIDE is based on more than ONE THING because YOUR DECISION is based on YOUR ENTIRE LIFES EXPERIENCES. 

      Just because you GREW UP in the SAME TOWN as someone it doesn't mean that YOU BOTH GREW UP THE SAME. 

      Just remember that if you keep CHANGING to PLEASE OTHERS before YOU know it YOU will FORGET YOURSELF. 

      And at the end of the day YOU want to be PROUD of WHAT YOU DID TODAY. 

      FOLLOWING what YOU KNOW is RIGHT DESPITE what anyone else says means at the end of the day YOU will be PROUD that YOU DID what was RIGHT.

      Remember that CHOOSING to follow the WORN OUT path may mean that it is WORN OUT because.....

     ...... IT lead to a DEAD END and everyone traveled twice across it to GO a DIFFERENT DIRECTION. 

       At the end of the day will YOU be PROUD of everything YOU DID and SAID TODAY?

Being HAPPY takes FINDING things that you are THANKFUL FOR

      If you are WAITING TO BE HAPPY after you REACHED what you THOUGHT would MAKE YOU HAPPY then....

      How will you FEEL if you WORK REALLY HARD but you DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING that you DREAMED OF for YOUR HARD WORK?

      There will be LOTS OF WORK that it will take to REACH ANYTHING but even if you DON'T REACH IT then.....

     Then you SHOULD have many HAPPY THOUGHTS about everything that YOU DID DO to TRY to GET IT because YOU WORKED HARD. 

      YOUR PRIDE is based on YOUR CHOICES about DOING WHAT IS NECESSARY not on ONLY IF YOU WON OR NOT.

      Doing the RIGHT THING doesn't mean you will ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT it means that you SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF for DOING THE RIGHT THING.

      YOUR PERCEPTION of WHO YOU ARE is based on whether YOU ARE PROUD OF YOURSELF for EVERYTHING YOU CHOOSE TO DO. 

      At the END OF THE DAY will you be PROUD of everything YOU DID AND SAID TODAY?
