If you don't get up

It may be hard to find but you will never find it if you don't look for it. It could be right in front of your face but if you don't open your eyes you won't see it. There is always a chance but there will be no chance at all if you don't take a chance at something. You will get a little further in life if you take a step in the right direction but you won't get anywhere if you don't get up and take a step at all.

Don't encourage them

Don't waste your time, money, emotions, or energy on things that don't really matter nor on people who your kindness and generosity just reward their bad behavior. When you want to help make sure what your giving is a helping hand that they need to stand on their own NOT a hand out that keeps them comfortable enough till the next hand out. There are those that feel no shame, to them the hand outs mean they are winning the game of life without working hard to get it. Give a helping hand but don't give hand outs that encourage anyone to stay down.

Till the anger is gone

"Too angry to see straight" means exactly that, you can't see clearly to stay on the right track. Don't make a decision or react when you are angry that you will have to live with even after your anger has calmed. Even an angry word can do damage that will never go away. So if you find yourself too angry just relax a moment quietly being still and silent till the anger is gone for if you don't you will deal with the damage for far too long. A moment of silence may calm the storm and spare you from a lifetime of damage.

Breath of fresh air

As the cool breeze blew in and rolled across my face the feeling and sound of the leaves blowing in the wind consumed my entire body demanding my attention. The peaceful feeling and relaxing sound distracted me from hectic thoughts that were weighing heavy on my mind. Replacing the tired feeling with a refreshed calm breath of fresh air. Sometimes our thoughts may weigh us down so stop to enjoy the cool breeze while it's blowing and let the moment of peace refresh you. Relax this Thanksgiving and soak up all the feelings of what you are thankful for.

Honesty is worth it

It is worth the extra money if they will stand behind their product. Too many times a bargain on something will cost you more in the end when you end up replacing it when it doesn't last like it should and they won't replace it like they should. An honesty company is worth the extra money when the extra will give you the security that is worth it's weight in gold. Don't run the honest business man out of business for all we will be left with is not what you can depend on. You get what you pay for.

It doesn't make it right

You do not have to agree nor even like what others do but you have to live with the consequences for the things you choose to do whether you like it or not. Try telling the authorities that others were doing it and they felt it was OK so you are not responsible for the problems it caused while you were doing it and see if they agree. Just because others are doing it doesn't make it right. Do the right thing no matter what others may do and you will enjoy the reward not pay the consequences for doing what you know is wrong.

Halfway there

Doing things right the first time will lead you to the best outcome. Trying to take shortcuts will only lead you to an outcome that is just short of where you need to be. Doing only half of what is necessary will only lead you halfway there. Doing things wrong to save time could even make your outcome impossible to reach. If it is important to you then it is important enough to do right. If you are not willing to give it all you got then you will only get what you get not what you need.

Don't let it stink up your future too

If you give up on your dream of a brighter future then you will have no one else to blame but yourself. As you flush away all the dark painful memories from your past one by one you will be able to see clearly what steps you will have to take to lighten your heavy load of stress, doubt, fear, and anger from your past. Every step we take and every move we make will determine where we go in life it is not determined by the crap in our life that has happened in our past. Flush all the crap in your life before it stinks up your future too!

Stressed out over nothing

Did you know that if you think something is happening even if it is not, but you believe it is happening then your mind, body, and soul will live it? The damage is done physically, mentally, and personally even though it never even happened. There is enough real crap that happens that takes a negative toll on your overall well being without making it worse on yourself by living through those things that are not even happening. Don't be stressed out over things that are not even happening.

Don't make things tougher

If all else fails don't fail yourself. We are living in tough times don't make things tougher on yourself. If you don't find a way out of the mess you are in then you will stay in the mess you are in. It is up to you to make a change if anything is going to change. Opportunities may come your way but you will have to grab them before they go away. You must first make a plan on getting out of the rut you are in. If you make a plan, stick to the plan and plan on all the hard work it will take to get there.

Pros and cons

Sometimes when you get what you always wanted you find out just how hard it will be to keep it. Nothing is that easy nor is it totally free. You may want the money and prestige that go along with being a doctor or a lawyer but the many years of hard work in college and the 100 hour a week schedule doesn't work for everyone. If you reach your dream be ready to accept the cons along with all the pros that come with it.

Nothing is perfect

Quit expecting everything to be perfect. You can't give up and get angry every time and walk away. Even the best jobs still requires you to go to work. Even your Family and friends can't always be there. Many things happen in life that are just not fair but that's life.You have to take the good with the bad because nothing is perfect. If you look at the hard lessons you have learned in life as growing pains they will help you grow. If you use them for an excuse to keep walking away then you won't learn a thing.

What seeds will you plant today?

Why can't people just think about what they are about to say or do before they start spewing their hate onto others. If all we pass along is anger then anger is all that will grow. Plant a see of kindness as you go through your day and Humanity will grow to replace the insanity we see in society. Show others compassion and they won't feel so alone. You reap what you sow. What kind of seeds will you plant today?
