CHANGE IT when YOU CAN

      It's hard to DECIDE but THANK GOODNESS you are able to DECIDE what is BEST FOR YOU. 

     I could see that it was raining and if I went out I would get wet but THANK GOODNESS that unlike the witch in the Wizard of Oz I wouldn't melt when I get wet and I could get what I need.

     I knew that by removing any items in the recipe would make it taste different but luckily by CHANGING the RECIPE I will like the TASTE.

     You can't CHANGE how someone else FEELS but you can CHANGE how you FEEL by doing what YOU THINK is RIGHT.

     There are many things during your life's journey that happens whether you want it or not but THANK GOODNESS what you CAN CONTROL YOU CAN CONTROL.

      When you REALIZE what YOU CAN DO then JUST DO IT because it wouldn't GET DONE IF YOU DON'T. 

       We all could BLAME SOMEONE ELSE but when you HAVE A CHANCE and DON'T TAKE IT then you have NO ONE but YOURSELF TO BLAME.

        Every CHOICE YOU MAKE MATTERS just like CHOOSING TO DO NOTHING is PURELY UP TO YOU.

      LIFE is HARD AT TIMES but THANK GOODNESS YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that YOU CAN.

      When you can see that A CHANGE IS NEEDED then GET UP and CHANGE IT in a way that has a POSITIVE EFFECT ON YOU. 

      When it is UP TO YOU then it is UP TO YOU to do what is BEST FOR YOU.

      When it's time for A CHANGE then LEARN what YOU NEED TO so that THE CHANGE CAN BE the CHANGE that is BEST FOR YOU.

      CHOOSE WISELY because at the end of the day YOU have TO LIVE WITH THE CHANGES YOU MAKE. 

     

     

Take care of you first

      Just because you HOPE IT WILL does not mean that IT WILL but you SHOULD BE HOPEFUL so you SHOULD ALWAYS do YOUR BEST.

      We all know that NO ONE will always get EVERYTHING so make sure that YOU GET YOUR BASIC ESSENTIALS FIRST then you CAN PEACEFULLY DIVIDE what is left FAIRLY. 

     When you ACCEPT that in order to GET WHAT YOU NEED then you have to ACCEPT EVERYONE INVOLVED has THEIR NEEDS then COOPERATE TOGETHER to MEET IN THE MIDDLE.

     Even when someone DOESN'T GET EVERYTHING as long as THEY FEEL that TOGETHER YOU EACH GOT ENOUGH then IT IS FAIR.

     When you DON'T FEEL HEARD by those that you are TRYING TO WORK WITH then it's hard to WORK WITH THEM.

     At the end of the day YOU have to DECIDE WHO YOU CAN WORK WITH before YOU DECIDE WHO TO WORK WITH.

     We each have A CHOICE and CHOOSING YOURSELF FIRST is YOU TAKING CARE OF YOU and the BOUNDARIES YOU SET FOR YOURSELF. 

     

If I COULD... I SHOULD.. before I CAN'T

       Have you ever thought about doing it yet you never did it so now that you are older you regret not trying?

      Did you plan on doing it one day then after years of never doing it you realize you are now too old to do it?

      Don't wait for it to be TOO LATE because if you do then it will be TOO LATE for you.

      Have you ever seen something POSITIVE but you had a NEGATIVE ATTITUDE so you DIDN'T see it?

      When OPPORTUNITIES COME YOUR WAY then GRAB IT.

      We only have ONE LIFE to LIVE SO....ENJOY IT while you are LIVING IT and if you WANT IT then GO FOR IT.

       You have to MAKE ROOM to ENJOY DOING the things you DREAM OF so YOU CAN ENJOY DOING THEM.

      If you WANT it then GRAB IT when it COMES YOUR WAY.

KEEP IT SIMPLE so it isn't SO COMPLICATED

       Sometimes we make our lives HARDER then they should be because we try to OVERDUE things. 

      When you PLAN TOO MUCH then you turn the OUTING into a COMPETITION that is TOO HARD for one person to do.

       If you are TOO BUSY PREPARING you will have NO ENERGY to ENJOY what you had PLANNED.

       Like COOKING a WAY TOO BIG OF A  DINNER to SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY then you end up getting TOO TIRED to be able to RELAX while you are EATING DINNER with them.

      COOK SIMPLE MEALS so that you won't be TOO TIRED and you can RELAX as YOU ENJOY DINNER with them.

       When you PLAN TOO MANY things to do on YOUR VACATION that you spend YOUR VACATION so TIMED WITH EVENTS that YOU DON'T HAVE TIME to RELAX AT ALL.

       When you KEEP PLANS more SIMPLE then you will LEAVE PLENTY OF TIME that YOU CAN RELAX while you are on YOUR VACATION. 

       When you REALIZE that the SIMPLER THINGS are the MORE RELAXING that your LIFE WILL BE then you will REMEMBER to KEEP IT SIMPLE.

       Instead of making your TO DO LIST too long to do in A DAY make it I WILL HAVE IT DONE WITHIN A WEEK LIST instead.

       When you are making PLANS for your four day VACATION make PLANS FOR TWO DAYS then let TWO OF THE DAYS be for DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO days.

      If YOU WANT a SIMPLE LIFE then....KEEP THINGS SIMPLE so that YOU CAN ENJOY LIFE while you are living it. 

To LET GO OF NEGATIVITY you have to.....JUST FLUSH IT.

       When something NEGATIVE HAPPENS then JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so you can THINK of something POSITIVE. 

      If you WANT PEACE OF MIND then you have to LEARN HOW to take the NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind. 

      Because to have PEACE OF MIND you have to MAKE ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN.

      If you KEEP THINKING about the NEGATIVE THING that happened then you are CHOOSING to KEEP it FRESH ON YOUR MIND. 

     And WHAT YOU THINK is WHAT YOU FEEL so take ANYTHING and ANYONE that is having a NEGATIVE EFFECT on you then JUST FLUSH IT and FLUSH AWAY YOUR BAD DAY. 

     To THINK POSITIVELY then THINK of things that are POSITIVE.

      As you LEARN you will SEE that WHAT YOU LOOK FOR YOU WILL FIND.

      So REALIZE that if YOU WANT to THINK POSITIVELY then STOP.....and LOOK for SOMETHING POSITIVE.

      And if YOU LOOK FOR TROUBLE then YOU WILL FIND TROUBLE.

      So WHEN something NEGATIVE HAPPENS remember that if YOU THINK about WHAT YOU APPRECIATE then YOU WILL FILL YOUR MIND with THINGS YOU APPRECIATE. 

      We only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE so ENJOY IT ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME while YOU ARE LIVING IT. 

      It's TRUE SHIT HAPPENS during OUR LIFETIME but THANKFULLY we know HOW to take all the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT out of our mind 🌻

      

CHANGE may HAVE TO HAPPEN so YOU DECIDE what is BEST FOR YOU

      When things happen in your Life both from the POSITIVE TIMES and the NEGATIVE TIMES it MAKES YOU CHANGE.

      If something NEGATIVE HAPPENS then you have to FIND A WAY to MAKE SURE IT NEVER EVER HAPPENS AGAIN.....PERIOD.

      So you have to FIGURE OUT HOW it happened and DECIDE TO CHANGE things so that at least THAT NEGATIVE thing NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. 

     If you have to GIVE SOMETHING UP then GIVE IT UP.

      If you have to CHANGE YOUR HABITS then CHANGE YOUR HABITS.

     If you have to GET RID OF NEGATIVE PEOPLE in your LIFE then GET RID OF THEM or if it is FAMILY MEMBER then VISIT THEM LESS and FIND POSITIVE PEOPLE to be around. 

     WHO YOU CHOOSE to ASSOCIATE WITH will DETERMINE the MINDSET AROUND YOU that DETERMINES WHO YOU are CHOOSING TO BE.

     WHO YOU BECOME is based on WHO YOU CHOOSE TO BE.

      If you KNOW it is COLD OUTSIDE then DRESS WARMLY so YOU WILL STAY WARM.

      If you KNOW it will be a SUNNY DAY then WEAR SUNGLASSES when you GO OUTSIDE TODAY. 

      If things FEEL WRONG TO YOU then YOU KNOW that IT IS WRONG FOR WHO YOU ARE so let that be THE ONLY REASON that YOU NEED TO NOT DO IT nor ALLOW IT AROUND YOU.

     CHANGE is NOT EASY but IT IS NECESSARY if THINGS ARE GOING TO POSITIVELY CHANGE.

     And if it is TIME FOR A CHANGE in YOUR LIFE then THINK LONG AND HARD about WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS TO CHANGE and then CHANGE and ENJOY YOUR LIFE while YOU ARE LIVING IT. 

     

If YOU TRY then YOU WILL KNOW

        It's NOT always EASY but if YOU DON'T TRY then YOU WILL NEVER TRULY KNOW.

       Have you had a friend who CONSTANTLY said I CAN'T when YOU KNOW THEY CAN?

       I am SURE sometimes that they SAY IT without KNOWING that IF THEY TRIED they COULD but if THEY SAY THEY CAN'T that MEANS THEY WON'T EVER TRY.

      It is hard to HEAR THEM say it KNOWING that THEY COULD if THEY GOT UP AND TRIED.

      I had been BEGGING MY FRIEND to TRY IT but THEY KEPT saying the word CAN'T and we all KNOW that the word CAN'T was the REASON THEY DIDN'T. 

       Finally OUT OF THE BLUE she AGREED TO at least TRY.

       And YOU KNOW WHAT... THEY TRIED IT and NOW THEY LOVE DOING IT.

      Now we LAUGH at HOW LONG I had been TRYING to take that LETTER 'T off the word CAN'T so THEY COULD turn the word I CAN'T into I CAN.

       We need to STOP ADDING the 'T so that we can say I WILL TRY so I KNOW if I CAN.

       Just ONE LETTER CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING so if we STOP SAYING IT with ADDING the EXTRA 'T and TRY IT so WE CAN TRULY KNOW.

       If YOU TRY then the WORST that CAN HAPPEN is YOU LEARNED that YOU TRIED but at least YOU KNOW that YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING. 

       If YOU DIDN'T even TRY then YOU KNOW YOU POSSIBLY COULD HAVE but YOU WILL NEVER KNOW for sure because YOU NEVER TRIED to FIND OUT if YOU COULD HAVE.

       When YOU GET OLDER then YOU WILL REGRET the THINGS YOU NEVER EVEN TRIED.

       TRY IT..... YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT.
