Don"t b e a fool twice

Be yourself no matter what your circumstances are or who you are with. Since you must live with the consequences for the things you do you should dig down deep inside yourself for the answers. Others may tell you what they think you should do although they wouldn't dare try something so crazy. If you fall in a crater of problems they will simply tell you that you were the fool that did something to get there and it is foolish to think that they will help you get out of the crater.

You"ll get where you need to be

Those that don"t learn from their mistakes must live with those mistakes. Those that do learn from their mistakes will live a better life because of the mistakes they made. They taught them what not to do which led them to do things right. The right way may be harder but you:ll get where you need to be. The easy way makes for a harder life to live. If you want to enjoy life while you are living then live right.

Your "point of view"

It is just another day in our journey in which our "point of view" will be our reality as it will determine how we live it. If you can't see yourself achieving it your "point of view" will keep you from doing anything to achieve it therefore the reality is without a doubt you won't achieve it. Changing your "point of view" will change your reality. You must first believe you can do it before you will get up and do what is necessary to get it done! There are times when a change of scenery can make a world of difference.

Remain a hidden talent

Have you ever met someone who you felt was made for a particular task yet they couldn't see their potential? Even when you point it out to them they can't see it therefore their hidden talent will remain unearthed and never become a reality. Unless they can see it from their "point of view" it will remain a hidden talent. Finding your hidden talent is like an Easter egg hunt in there is no shame in getting one pointed out to add to your basket of eggs in life's journey.

"Just Flush It" out of your mind

Don't let your hurt and anger define who you are nor where you will go in life. Whatever happened has already happened once DON'T keep living through it over and over again by constantly thinking about it over and over again. Why would you keep doing it to yourself over and over? Someone else did it to you once but the other 50 times you are doing it to yourself. "Just Flush It" out of your mind once and for all.

You win some, you lose some

There are those that are admired by others for the strength they show to persevere in spite of the obstacles they had to face to get there. Overcoming your own obstacles in life may not get noticed by others but knowing where you have been and all that you had to endure to get where you are now is as admirable and courageous as a four star general that leads a victory battle. There are many battles we all must face in life and some you will lose but as long as you keep fighting you will win some.

Re-build the staircase

There are those that believe sitting around complaining about all the unfair things that they encounter will make them feel better. In actuality without doing something to make things better nothing will happen but a lot of complaining that will only keep you down. Look at it this way....If the staircase is broken and your happiness is at the top but you can't reach it then build the steps one by one to reach it instead of standing at the bottom complaining about the broken staircase.

Be happy in spite of the chaos

There are those that are waiting for all their issues to be solved in life before they can be happy. That day may never come because life is full of ups and downs and there are always going to be issues, THAT'S LIFE. Learning to be happy inspite of the chaos is true happiness. Being happy within yourself despite all that gets thrown at you on life's journey is the key to enjoying life happily while you are living it. Happy is a state of mind not what is going on around you.

Every moment you are awake

All the reasons to be angry are there and they are very legitimate reasons but there is absolutely no reason to be angry enough to last a lifetime. Anger is a natural response but it shouldn't define who you are every moment you are awake. Others shouldn't have to feel it in your words and your actions. You know why you are angry now you need to figure out how to let go of the anger and "Just Flush It" because there is no reason to keep it for a lifetime.

Can you see where you are headed?

Life will throw boulders along your path, no matter which road in life you take, good or bad. The difference is when you can see where you are headed on the right path, you know what the reward is to go around the boulder to stay on track to get there. When you are on the wrong road in life and a boulder comes your way you don't know what direction to go when each direction leads to nowhere.

Get people talking

If we start talking about the state society is in where we see people ignoring all the wrong doings as they go through their day, perhaps we will get people to start helping others. Let them know that others are ignoring it and it is up to them to stop the wrong doings. The world will not get better on it's own someone must do something. We all should do our part. Choosing to do nothing is still a choice.

Taken by someone else

It is only impossible if you never try. If you try it and you just can't do it then at least you know without a doubt because you tried it. Have you ever heard the phrase...lost opportunities? Well opportunities are never lost they are taken by someone else. Opportunity may come knocking at your door but you got to get up and open the door to let it in. You will never know the sun is shining unless you look outside.

Don't let your family down

Families should stick together and not just stand around and watch members of their family drown in front of them. The Walton's were the last family we have seen or even known that lived, worked, loved, laughed, and cried together. Nowadays families move far away not only physically but emotionally as well. If you can't count on your family and society ignores you, how on earth can someone who needs help get help?
