Be thankful you are only aggravated

As I started to get aggravated by another rainy cold day I realized that in other states they are experiencing ice storms and snow. In an instant I was glad it was just cold and rainy. As the mountain of bills come piling in one after another it is frustrating to barely be able to pay them. Yet I am thankful to be able to pay them realizing there are some people who are devastated because they can't. Learning to be thankful that you are frustrated and not devastated will help ease your frustration. Be kind to everyone you meet for you have no idea the troubles they may be facing.

Will you choose to enjoy it?

You won't know until you need it. You won't know how much you will miss it until it is gone. It's funny how you have heard these phrases before yet it took experiencing to understand them. Like seeing the glass half full or seeing it half empty. You can't enjoy the half you do have if all you do is spend your life focusing only on where the other half is. Even the plaque that has hung on my kitchen for 20 years took on a whole new meaning the older I got. It says "I asked God for all things that I enjoy Life, He gave me Life that I might enjoy all things."

Get away from what stinks

Are you looking for a fresh start? To start off fresh you gotta flush away what stinks. It won't be a fresh start if you bring what stinks with you. Walk away, run away, flush away just realize you must find a way if you are going to have any chance at all at a fresh start. There are some things that will be hard to get away from but if you want a fresh start it's the only way and it's going to be hard but it is possible. If you don't flush it all away it would be like putting a piece of rotten fruit in your fruit salad then be surprised it ruined all of it.

Save it for when it is needed

Don't spend all your time playing out all the negative "What If's" in your mind. You will need the energy and the room in your mind to plan what positive steps are necessary. You can not be both positive and negative at the same time about any subject. If all you think about is tripping on something and falling then you won't be watching where you are going and you will hit your head and be knocked down because you didn't know to duck. "What If's" must be thought of in your planning of "How To" get where you want to go but then you must focus on your goal dealing with the "What" you need to do so you can "Just Do It" and you will save your energy for "If" and "When" it is needed.

Either wait for it or waste it

There are times when you worked out all the details in your plan yet something happens that you could not have planned on. When this happens your insides feel queasy and you feel like you just got the wind knocked out of you. You will have to dig down deep. Just remember everything happens for a reason and although the reason may not be clear right away it was the only way. It's only a matter of time before you will see the reason. That is unless you react in a negative way that can only bring a negative outcome which will then be the reason why whatever was suppose to happen won't happen. You can either wait for it or waste it.

Get Focused, Stay Focused

If you want to get up and get moving then get up and get moving. If you want to reach a goal you must first set a realistic goal. If you plan on reaching that goal you will then have to make a plan on how to reach it. Don't forget to plan to do the work it will take to reach it. You must stay Focused on your goal so if you get knocked down along the way you will be able to get up and stay on Track. Life is full of twists and turns as well as ups and downs that is just part of your Life Journey on the Roller Coaster called Life.

It's like a complicated puzzle

If there was only one problem then the answer is to your problem is to fix that one thing. Problem is in a complicated fast pace World there are many factors that have created the problem. That means the only way to fix it is by creatively considering what must be done to each factor of it if you are to truly have fixed the problem. Each factor is like a puzzle piece in which all the pieces are necessary to complete the picture.

Less Stress Less Medicine Needed

It seems as if everyone I know has recently been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure. The first thing their doctor does is put them on medicine. The side effects from these medicines that are listed are obviously far more dangerous than should be legally allowed and still be called medicine. Listen to the commercials for all kinds of medicines at the long list of dangerous side effects. In the times we are living in we put our body through dangerously high levels of Stress. Stressful situations will raise your blood pressure as well as squeeze your organs. Learning how to reduce your Stress will reduce your need for medicines and all their dangerous side effects.

You could be that one out of a thousand

A thousand people could see the same thing and yet it may only inspire one person. It's like the sign that inspired me and changed my way of thinking. Thousands saw it yet because they were not inspired does not mean that one out of every thousand that saw it was not inspired. What works for someone else may not work for you but that doesn't mean it doesn't work for anyone. Here is the sign that inspired me for you lucky one out of a thousand that it may inspire. "It's OK to sit on your pity-potty every now and again just be sure to Flush when you are done." To me it was when I realized that things may happen to clog you up but all you got to do is "Just Flush It" so you can get flowing again.

Sometimes you just need to say it out loud

Knowing what to say and knowing when you should say nothing at all. There are sometimes when they ask for advice and you will have advice that just may help them. Yet there are other times when you really don't know what advice to give and that is when I advise you not to say anything at all. As they ask the right questions and give you the details they can sometimes figure it out on their own. If you don't have an answer for them then don't give them one and then they will keep searching for it on their own. You know sometimes all they need is to take their own advice that they just needed to say out loud so they could hear it.

Look where you are going

You can never get ahead if you are always stopping to look back at what has happened in your past. You won't know which way to go if you don't decide first where you want to go then head the right direction without stopping to look back. Keep your eyes open looking forward as you go through Life so if you see trouble coming you can get out of the way. Life is full of unexpected boulders that can get dropped in your Life's path at any moment. As long as you are focusing looking forward as you go through your Life's Journey you will see that all you got to do is go around them to stay on track. If you are always focusing on your past you won't see a bright future so "Just Flush It" out of your mind so you can enjoy Life's Journey.

"Peace of Mind" brings "Peace on Earth"

Do you ever wander is there anything that you can personally do to make our Neighborhoods safe? Or how on earth we can have Peace on Earth? When Mother Theresa was asked in her later years if she thought Peace was even possible considering the state the World was in, she responded something to the effect...If one person from every family would stand up and be a role model in every way then it is possible. Be that person to help bring "Peace on Earth" because One Person, One Family, One Neighborhood at a time we can all find "Peace of Mind" which is necessary to have "Peace on Earth."
