If you THINK it is TRUE then is it really TRUE?

      If you tell yourself that YOU CAN'T DO IT then the TRUTH is that YOU WON'T DO IT because YOU WILL NEVER TRY TO DO IT.

     After you CONVINCE YOURSELF that it is TOO HARD FOR YOU then YOU ALREADY CONVINCED YOURSELF so YOU WON'T EVER TRY IT.

      You may be AFRAID OF HEIGHTS yet if YOU TRY DOING some things that are DONE THAT ARE HIGH then YOU MAY ENJOY DOING THEM.

      If you want to ENJOY YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY then it means that there may be times that you need to TRY THINGS even if YOU THINK IT IS TOO HARD.

     There are MANY THINGS that YOU WILL FINALLY TRY that then YOU FIND OUT THAT YOU DON'T LIKE DOING THEM.

     But TRYING IT GIVES YOU THE TRUTH about whether YOU CAN OR YOU CAN'T DO IT.

      And the TRUTH MAKES YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH not a FALSE GUESS.

     DON'T GUESS just TRY IT so YOU WILL KNOW then forever YOU CAN KNOW THE TRUTH.

Having troubles means.....

      No matter how hard you plan something you have to ACCEPT that things don't always go as you had planned.

       But you can regroup and make things work out differently but first you have to STOP being ANGRY about how things have changed.

       Because until YOUR ANGER IS GONE then YOU CAN'T REGROUP because you are TOO ANGRY to THINK about how to ACCEPT IT so you can ENJOY IT DIFFERENTLY.

       I had to ACCEPT that we can still have FUN we have to JUST FLUSH IT out of our mind so we can PLAN a new ADVENTURE. 

      But when you can FEEL THE ANGER SO DEEP INSIDE YOU then....STOP THINKING ABOUT IT UNTIL YOUR ANGER IS GONE.

     If the ANGER is GONE then USE YOUR IMAGINATION and MAKE A NEW PLAN that YOU KNOW WILL BE JUST AS MUCH FUN TO DO.

      ANGER UNFORTUNATELY makes you ANGRY TO BE AROUND so ACCEPT IT then JUST FLUSH IT and EVERYONE will FORGET ABOUT IT and ENJOY YOUR NEW PLANS TOGETHER. 

Better to be SAFE not SORRY

      I really wanted it but at that price I would FEEL BAD about paying that much so.....I will CHOOSE to wait until it is ON SALE to buy it. 

     I wanted the kids to have FUN DOING IT but I decided that there was TOO MANY CHANCES that it would be DANGEROUS so....I  found something FUN that they could do. 

     I can UNDERSTAND how much FUN RIDING a ELECTRIC BIKE could be but going SO FAST for a young person is DANGEROUS so.....I decided buying a COOL BIKE for them was SAFER. 

     Some people can SEE THE FUN but it doesn't STOP THEM from doing it even after you tell them HOW DANGEROUS it COULD BE. 

      Sometimes my GRANDCHILDREN think I am always WORRIED about the DANGER WITHOUT SEEING THE FUN PART OF ANYTHING. 

      But what they DON'T KNOW is being OLD ENOUGH to have SEEN THE DANGERS happening during the DECADES it kinda makes you REALIZE that although it ISN'T ALWAYS DANGEROUS there is sometimes where it was DANGEROUS OCCASIONALLY. 

      Just take a MOMENT to LOOK AT THE POSSIBLE DANGERS before you CHOOSE TO DO IT because it is better to be SAFE NOT SORRY.

     But while you are doing it ENJOY IT because YOU GOT TO ALSO ENJOY YOUR LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT. 

     There are MANY THINGS that I did when I was YOUNG and I HAD FUN but my BODY STILL REMEMBERS a few times when I GOT HURT and I DECIDED that I WOULD NEVER DO THOSE THINGS A SECOND TIME.

      NO MATTER how many times someone tells you that YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT you MAY NOT UNDERSTAND what they MEANT UNTIL YOU WERE DOING IT and YOU SUDDENLY UNDERSTOOD what THEY MEANT.

    LIFE is like a ROLLERCOASTER and a ROLLERCOASTER may be FUN they are ALSO A LITTLE SCARY. 🎢

      

Don't STRESS over IT..... JUST FLUSH IT

      Sometimes when you are cooking dinner and one of the things you were trying to cook wasn't edible just DON'T STRESS about it because the rest of the food you cooked tasted awesome.

     Sometimes during your exciting weekend there may be a couple things that were not as exciting as you thought it would be but DON'T STRESS about it the rest of your weekend had plenty of HAPPY TIMES.

     You may have worked hard to get everything that you needed but DON'T STRESS if you forgot something because it is going to be a great time because of everything else you did get.

     Not everyone will ENJOY EVERY MOMENT of it but everyone will ENJOY MANY MOMENTS of it.

     There are many things in your LIFE'S JOURNEY that DON'T HAPPEN like you PLANNED but DON'T STRESS about the negative things because OVER ALL you have had an AMAZING LIFE'S JOURNEY. 

     When you catch the FLU you feel sick but DON'T STRESS about it because eventually you will RECOVER FROM THE FLU.

      You may be upset at the COST OF YOUR CAR REPAIR but DON'T STRESS about it because you should be THANKFUL that you will have a car to drive because some people DON'T. 

     Recently I was feeling STRESSED about being STRESSED over stupid things so I STOPPED and ACCEPTED IT then I decided to JUST FLUSH IT out of my mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN. 

      If you want PEACE OF MIND then you have to FIND IT by LEARNING how to JUST FLUSH IT  so you DON'T HAVE TO STRESS about it.

     

Have you ever found things that you forgot about?

       Have you RECENTLY LOOKED at what you have in your "JUNK DRAWER" in a ROOM in your house?

      I have realized that I seem to have a "JUNK DRAWER" in EVERY ROOM.

      Do you know how many "JUNK DRAWERS" that you have?

      Every "JUNK DRAWER" even if they were stuffed in a "JUNK BOX" that I went through were full of MEMORIES and some of it was just JUNK.

     I have learned that going through your "JUNK DRAWERS" was something that is actually FUN TO DO every now and again.

    And although DUSTING ALL YOUR "JUNK SHELVES" you have throughout your house is NOT FUN but by DUSTING IT sure gets YOU ANOTHER CHANCE to ENJOY THE MEMORIES of when you got it.

     And ENJOYING all those HAPPY MEMORIES if YOU LOOK AT THEM is why ANYTIME YOU WANT TO REMEMBER IT just START DUSTING IT.

    

   

     

Before you REACT take a minute to THINK BEFORE YOU REACT

      When something happens that makes you FEEL NEGATIVELY then YOU KNOW that your FIRST THOUGHT WILL BE NEGATIVE.

     So if you REACT IMMEDIATELY then YOU KNOW that if YOU RESPOND NEGATIVELY that things will END NEGATIVELY.

     So in THAT MOMENT just STOP and THINK about what YOUR ACTIONS WILL BRING.

     And YOU WILL SEE that YOUR FIRST REACTION was LEADING TO ANGER and ANYTHING DONE OUT OF ANGER will BRING YOU A NEGATIVE OUTCOME.

     But when YOU STOP AND THINK it through then YOU WILL FIGURE OUT what TO DO to have the BEST OUTCOME POSSIBLE despite the circumstances.

     Remember that YOU CAN..... if YOU STOP and TAKE A MINUTE TO THINK BEFORE YOU REACT. 

CHOOSE to do what MAKES YOU HAPPY

     Have you ever found yourself doing something that you DON'T have to do that you DID JUST BECAUSE you HAD ALWAYS DONE IT?

     Well then maybe you should STOP DOING IT because we only have one life to live and we need to STOP WASTING a moment of it.

     It is hard to STOP sometimes because you know that if you DON'T DO IT then it will STOP BEING DONE.

     So take a moment and DECIDE how you will feel if it STOPPED HAPPENING.

    If YOU REALIZE that YOU DO IT FOR YOURSELF because YOU WANT IT TO HAPPEN then KEEP DOING IT.

     But if YOU REALIZE that by NOT DOING IT that it would give YOU EXTRA TIME to do something else that YOU ARE EXCITED about then STOP DOING IT.

     If YOU LIKE DOING IT then as long as YOU CAN KEEP DOING IT and HAVE FUN DOING IT.

    It is UP TO YOU to CHOOSE TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO and if YOU NO LONGER WANT TO then ITS UP TO YOU to STOP DOING IT.
