There is only ONE WAY to go down a ONE WAY street

It only takes one time to "react" negatively to cause a negative outcome. All the positive work you have done which should have a positive outcome will be for nothing. I know you think that if you do nine out of ten positive reactions and only one negative reaction that the good out ways the bad therefore the outcome will be good but....that is like saying if you drive down a ONE WAY street nine times the right way you won't hit a car head on the tenth time when you go down it the wrong way. You see how there can only be a negative outcome? Never go the wrong way down a ONE WAY street.

"I can do it" V.S. "I did it"

If you know that what you are doing is hurting you then it's a no brainer just stop doing it. If there is certain things that bring on negative thoughts then for goodness sake stay away from those things. If you know it's time for a change then does it really matter what time it is? Knowing what you should do and knowing that you are the only one who can do it will get you no where if you don't just do it. Only when it's done after you did what you knew you should do can you say "I did it."

Half full is better than empty

Too many times if the chance was given there would be less people that were desperate for any chance at all. Chances are you either know someone or by chance will encounter someone who just needs a chance to get on there feet. There are many who got knocked down by random circumstances and then there are those who made choices that led them to being down and out. Either way if given the chance they will gladly stand on their own. Even if they could get half a chance they would make it because they would have a glass that was half full and they will enjoy it because they once had an empty glass.

Don't prevent what "was meant to be"

Trust has to be earned from those around you which is why it hurts deeply when those around you break that trust. There are times throughout your Life when you just don't get what you have earned. It is during these times you must not "react" in such a way that you loose everything and anything else that you have earned throughout Life. Believe it or not you will earn a lot by not letting it be the deciding factor of whether you keep everything else you have earned. Everything happens for a reason and you will have to trust everything will be all right as long as you don't "react" negatively which will cause there to be no reasonable way for anything positive to happen as it "was meant to be."

They had nothing to do with it

Times are tough these days for everyone which is why you should be kind to everyone you meet for you have no idea the troubles they may be facing. Don't take out your frustrations on others it won't make you feel any better but it will make it worse for them. Remember before you react unkindly that they had nothing to do with causing your frustration so therefore they don't deserve to be treated unkindly causing them to be frustrated. You wouldn't spread the Flu to others and you shouldn't spread your anger on them either. When you are frustrated remember the old saying "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all."

You can prevent an avalanche

Have you ever expected the worse then it turned out OK and you realized you worried for nothing? That positive outcome unfortunately does not erase the damage that your body and mind endured every second you feared the worse. You can be your worst enemy at times as you allow a negative thought to "Grab Your Attention." Once that happens you will be bombarded with negative thoughts. Like an Avalanche it buries any chance of a positive thought or reasoning thought to stop it. There is no way to stop a negative thought from popping up in your mind but you can prevent an Avalanche by not giving it a chance to "Grab Your Attention." "Just Flush It" as quick as it pops up.

Just be sure to flush when you are done

You may not have done anything to be in the mess you are in but it is up to you alone to get out of the mess you are in. It is easy to get immobilized if all you think about is who is to blame. Remember this..."It's OK to sit on your pity-potty every now and again just be sure and flush when you are done." Whatever you may be facing may stink because it was no fault of your own but if you don't get over it then it will be your fault that you are choosing to let it Stink up your future too. You will have to "Just Flush It" out of your mind it is the only way.

You can't go straight on a curved road

Truth is even if you don't know which way to go if you are at a dead end in your Life then you know you need to turn around and go a different direction. You may not have all the answers you want but as long as you keep asking the questions you will eventually find the answers to get what you need. If you get knocked down you have a choice to stay down or get up. There is no magic wand that you can wave when Life throws you a curve to make your road straight. You will just have to watch where you are going so you can stay on track on your Life Journey otherwise you will run straight into a dead end.

Don't waste it

Today is yours to enjoy so don't waste it complaining about yesterday. Your tomorrows are determined by what you do today regardless of or in spite of what happened yesterday. In order to enjoy your todays you will have to realize that yesterday has already gone and what is done is done. Since there is no guarantee that any of us will be here tomorrow only today is yours to enjoy. If you broke your foot years ago you wouldn't still be walking around on crutches because you don't need them you have healed. If you keep reliving painful experiences from your past over and over again you will be hurt by it over and over again. Once is enough today is a New Day.

"It's a New Day"

If you want a fresh start in Life then start by leaving behind everything that was stinking up your old life. If you are going to start over then get over what was holding you back so you can get started. Before you get started on your journey be prepared to face the obstacles you will encounter on your way. Which means there will be obstacles that is just Life. If you want a Life worth living it takes hard work that's just Life. Our journey in Life is hard enough without bringing what was stinking up your old Life so "Just Flush It" it's a New Day and the start of a New Life.

You do it for yourself not just for others

As you are about to "react" to a negative situation STOP. Take a moment to think about what your "reaction" will bring. Our first thought to a negative situation is a very negative reaction and can bring nothing but a negative outcome. That is why before you "react" you must first think about what your "actions" will bring. There are times when nothing you can say will makes things better yet anything you may say will make it worse. You know the Old saying "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?" Well I have learned that it wasn't just to NOT hurt other people but also NOT to make things worse for myself.

It still needs fixed no matter who's to blame

Have you ever wandered just how many Generations it has taken to get America in the mess we are in? Really you have to agree that it took several Generations to create the Society we live in today. We face one collapse after another to the very structure of our core not just politically or economically but the collapse of our personal standards as well. Just as it took many Generations to create it will take all the Generations to work together to fix it. We can all argue over how it got to this point and who is to blame but I am sure no one can argue that today we all must do our part in "Our Generation" no matter who is to blame.

A mistake happens once

A mistake is a hard lesson that should teach you what not to do. If you don't learn on the other hand from your mistake then you will learn the hard way just what your repeated mistakes will cost you. It is better to learn from your mistake quickly so you can prevent it from being a mistake that will only get worse if you repeat it. A mistake happens once it is a habit if you keep making that mistake over and over again. To break that habit you will have to get in the habit of recognizing a mistake so you won't make that mistake again.
