Get busy to distract them

Staying busy will help you stay healthy. When you have too much time to sit and think the more thoughts you will think of. Our mind is an endless stream of thoughts both positive and negative that pop up trying to "grab your attention." If you stay busy focusing on the task you are doing less thoughts have a chance to distract you. So when you find yourself being bombarded with too many negative thoughts just get up and get busy doing something to distract you from them which will just Flush them out of your mind.

I owe thanks to those who deceived me

As I sit and ponder to who I owe thanks for who I am today even I am surprised who comes to mind. Among the obvious ones that pop into my mind are those who did me wrong. At first I thought "no way they deceived me." Then I realized what my subconscious already knew. Had they not, I really wouldn't be where and who I am today. Go figure those that hurt you deeply at the time are a big part of how and why you had to dig deep inside you to find what you needed to be the best you can be and for that I agree, I am thankful.

Make the one a day pledge

Hey what if you and I make a pact to do one random act of kindness everyday. With each kind act we can make someone's day brighter. Can you imagine if we pull together how many times those random acts of kindness would be passed on? The more times we spread it the more it will spread. One day at a time we will light up the World. Someone said to me once if your own family won't listen then spread your light on another family. Every now and again do a random act of kindness for yourself to keep your light going.

Be your biggest fan

You can be your own worst enemy or you can be your biggest fan. It is truly all in how you look at it that will determine whether you are a friend or foe. You can't be a fair weather friend with yourself no more than you already know that you can't count on the fair weather friendships that you have with others. In the end if you see yourself in a positive way you will encourage and support what actions are necessary to be your biggest fan. If you only see your faults then it is obvious that you can be your worst enemy because you know all your secrets.

In spite of everything

A good day doesn't mean everything is going your way. It means in your mind in spite of everything that is going on around you it is a good day. Learning how to flush away a bad day will help you say it is a good day. If you think it you will feel it. How you look at it will determine whether it is a good day or a bad day in your mind. I'm sure you have heard the phrase mind over matter before. It means if it doesn't matter then "Just Flush It" out of your mind. Happiness is just a state of mind no matter what state you live in. Sometimes you got to Flush Away A Bad Day so you can have a good one. Peace of mind is just a Flush away so "Just Flush It."

Wrinkles or no wrinkles?

A smile is a natural facelift. Remember to look years younger all you got to do is Smile. You should also remember that when you are angry it shows in your face. Not only will anger cause wrinkles and make you look older you can also look like a crazed lunatic. Anger causes your face to distort and your teeth to grit while veins swell not allowing blood to flow normally. Every organ of your body will be squeezed as every muscle in your body tightens which is not healthy. Flush out your anger before it can cause any wrinkles and give yourself a facelift by smiling.

Take pride in making it from payday to payday

Times are tough and being creative and thrifty will become common again. In this fast paced World we live in we have forgotten or in some cases were never taught how to use creativity to get by just to get what we need. Being thrifty can determine whether you have the money to get the basics you need. Instead of feeling defeated when money is tight start being proud of yourself when you make it from one check to the next. One meal at a time, one bill at a time and one gallon of gas at a time only you know how creative and thrifty you had to be to do it.

Flush away your doubts

If you doubt yourself then I doubt anyone else will believe you can either. If you don't try then there is no doubt you won't do it. If you don't get up and get started then without a doubt you won't get anything done. If you believe you can do it then you will keep trying till you get it done because there was no doubt you could. There is no doubt if you try to see the positive in every situation you will learn to see how the little joys in life can be your biggest blessings and that will leave you no doubt feeling positive.

Be thankful you have what you need

I believe some people are not happy because they expect that to be happy means they have everything they ever wanted or dreamed of. That is not possible and unless you change your way of thinking it will be impossible for you to ever be happy. We all face issues we have to deal with and life didn't turn out to be what we thought. The only difference between being happy or not is whether you choose to enjoy what you do have and be thankful for having at least what you need.

The circle of Life through the eyes of a square

The older I get things that I didn't understand when I was younger become clearly obvious. The circle of Life and my role in it leaves me scrambling to round the corners off the square that I had been bouncing around in all my Life. As the elders of our families die we find ourselves holding on to each end of the circle knowing that if we let go that everyone inside it will be lost in space. Now I can clearly see just how hard it was for those before me to hold on to both ends and keep the circle from breaking. A good family bond with the squares and triangles throughout Life will help you smooth out the edges to keep the circle unbroken.

Follow the U-Turn signs and stop signs

If you are heading down the wrong path in life that is leading you nowhere then turn around before you go too far. If you are doing something that hurts you then stop doing it. It is not important how you got off the right path what is important is that you do what is necessary to get back on track and figure out how to stay on track. If it hurts you then why on Earth would you want to do it? Some things you just naturally know what you need to do so just get up and get 'r done. It may not be your circumstances that is the problem. It may be the U-turn signs and stop signs in life that you are not following.

Enjoy a blast from your past

A walk through a flea market is like a walk down memory lane. With just a glance at an object that you remember from your past in an instant you go through a time warp of memories. It triggers memories that sometimes you had no idea they had even happened till you relived them in your mind. You walk down each isle darting your eyes from one table to another just looking for an old treasure to enjoy it's secret memory buried deep inside your mind. Without spending a dime you can take a trip down memory lane and enjoy a blast from your past. When you need a mini vacation from the present visit a flea market to see the memories it holds for you.

The possibility for Peace on Earth

It seems like more and more people have opened their eyes to the wrong doings going on around them. Problem is it has been ignored and let go on so long that it is going on all around them. If you see it happening you got to stop it quickly before it quickly spreads. Just like a gardener has to get rid of the weeds that pop up in his garden before they spread all over his vegetables and destroy them. We all must get rid of the negativity that just like the weeds in a garden will take over and destroy the possibility of Peace on Earth. We are all gardeners on Earth and we reap what we put into it. It is our job to keep the weeds out.
