Treading on thin ice

There are times when your attention is needed for so many different areas in your life that you try to spread yourself too thin. The old expression you are treading on thin ice isn't talking about the pond that had frozen over. If you want to stay on solid ground on your journey through life's struggles don't spread yourself too thin. Doing what is most important right even if that's only one or two things is better than starting 10 things that are not finished when you are done.

Bake an apple pie

Learn how to make apple pie and apple jelly out of the apples you got while they are still good.

Don't reward bad behavior

There is a difference between someone who is needy and one who is lazy and greedy. At a time when so many in America are hurting it is important that when you choose to give from your heart that you check with your mind to be sure what your giving is really needed. When you give to the truly needy ones you will truly make a difference. If you give to the lazy and greedy then they simply get rewarded for being lazy and greedy. Make sure your gift is a helping hand not a reward for bad behavior.

Stay focused and don't get distracted

It seems as if before I can accomplish the one task I set out to do I must first have completed a different task that I didn't even know I needed to do. Keeping focused on the outcome I'm looking for as my to do list seems to grow is what it takes to stay on track no matter how hard or long the journey may seem. I know I must focus on what's important and not be distracted by all the important steps that are necessary to reach the outcome that I want. One step at a time will get you where you want to be.

Your desire can inspire

Let's bring out the human in all of us. Buried deep inside from the young to the old is the desire to be treated with dignity and compassion. It has not been taught, shown, and for some felt for the past five generations. Start by not spreading your anger on to others. If we want others to be kind to us we must be kind to others ourselves and pass it on. Bringing out from within you the desire followed by action to show (therefore teach) compassion for another, you will inspire others to bring out the human emotion to a situation and react on it. Before you know it society will be humanized again.

Don't Ignore It

If you can see that wrong doings are being ignored and you choose to ignore it then you can clearly see that first you need to change if you want to change the wrong doings in society. We could clean up our streets and make neighborhoods safe again by stepping in when you can to stop the wrong doings therefore replacing them with the right reaction to get humanity moving in the right direction. Don't Ignore it.

Nothing from something is nothing

Too many people say nothing can be done, it is too late without giving even the smallest bit of effort to at least try. This is true for many great ideas that get snuffed out before they even get lit. Every idea that has become a necessity in peoples life started out with one persons idea that they believed in despite others telling them it is impossible. They went ahead trying it anyways and made their dream, their vision a reality. The reality is nothing can get done if nothing is done to get it done. Just get'er done.

Stop the cycle

Even though we all can agree that society has become full of angry people who keep spreading their anger everywhere they go, we can't seem to stop the cycle. It's hard to get them to smile and pass on happiness that could spread just as fast. If you won't let go of the hurt and anger then your hurt and anger will never go away. If you want to be happy you will have to flush away your hurt and anger.

Take your time

If you want to know the time you have to look at a clock. If you know it is time for a change then does it really matter what time it is or simply that the time has come. Timing is everything but you can run out of time. If you want to be on time you must know what time to be there. You will know in time if what you did was right but it's only possible if you take the time to do it right.

Kids are a blessing

Kids are a blessing that should be treasured but... they are treated as a burden and tossed to the side like an unwanted shoe that has grown out of style. Kids should come first in any parents eye but....games such as farmville and partying come first as a child cries. There are those that cry as their soap opera stars have a make believe problem but get angry at a child for crying even if it is for a bottle that they need to survive. Kids are a blessing that should be treasured.

Enjoy the moment

Enjoy the breeze while it's blowing. Soak up the warmth of the sun while it's shining. Cherish the moments you have with family and friends while you can. Admire the flowers while they are blooming. Don't let the little joys in life pass you by, enjoy them while your living. Find beauty where you are at this moment as the moments fly by quickly and in a moment they could be gone.

Make a difference

You may have a lot of potential but if you don't use it then it could be potentially lost. You may have a lot to offer others but if you don't offer it to others then it won't benefit anyone. You may have a lot of love in your heart but can anyone see it or feel it? The difference that you could make to others has endless of possibilities but it is only possible if you do something that can make a difference.
