Would you if you could?

   If someone needed a helping hand would you help them?

  If someone was being mistreated would you do whatever you could to stop them from being mistreated? 

  If someone needed to be encouraged would you say or do something that would encourage them?

  If you needed help you would hope someone would help you, wouldn't you?

  If you were being mistreated you would want someone to rescue you so you wouldn't be mistreated, wouldn't you?

  If you needed to be encouraged you would be thankful if someone encouraged you, wouldn't you?

  If you ignore bad behavior it will become acceptable. 

  And if you ACCEPT it than you can EXPECT it to eventually happen to you or someone you love.

  KARMA.

Is stress taking a toll on your overall well being?

 There are many challenges that we must face while we are on our Life's journey that can be stressful. Not to mention the added stress the pandemic has created.

  The stress can weigh so heavy on our mind that it can weigh you down physically.

  Sometimes we add unnecessary stress because we worry about what COULD or MIGHT happen.

 The damage is done even if everything turns out fine and we realize that we worried and stressed when we didn't even need to.

  So don't stress yourself out, or at least not until you know that you have something you need to even stress about at all. 

  Because the damage that stress caused you is real even though it turns out you had nothing to worry about. 

  If it is not a life or death situation then don't make it one by worrying yourself to death about things that you aren't even going through. 

  Your thoughts are the reality that you live even if your thoughts are not reality at all.

  Don't sweat the small stuff, nor things that COULD OR MIGHT happen.

  

  

  

Do you want to have peace of mind?

   If you want to have PEACE OF MIND you have to make ROOM in your mind so it can get in.

  If you keep reliving what happened in your past you don't have a chance to live the current moment you are living.

  You can't see or enjoy the beauty around you if you only see everything that you saw or experienced in your past.

  You need to take the painful experiences from your past and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND has ROOM to get in.

  To ENJOY Life you have to ENJOY it while you are living it. 

  You can't move past it if you don't leave it in the past so you can get moving forward.

  YESTERDAY is already gone and TOMORROW may never come but TODAY is yours to ENJOY.

  If you want PEACE OF MIND you have to JUST FLUSH IT SO PEACE OF MIND HAS ROOM TO GET IN!

  

Do you know if you were heard?

   If you want anyone to hear you then you will have to tell them. 

  You may think they know but honestly they won't know unless you tell them.

  If you want them to know then make sure you tell them so they will know.

  Unfortunately just because you say it out loud to someone doesn't mean they heard you.

  But if you say it out loud they have a chance to hear you.

  When you take a chance that you will be heard and they call you back to talk about what you said, YOU KNOW YOU WERE HEARD.

  Although you may not get the reaction to what they heard you say that you wanted to hear from them, IT'S AWESOME that you know that they heard you.

  I want to thank MRS. ELIZABETH for acknowledging that you heard me. 

  Unfortunately it wasn't what I wanted to hear, just to know you heard me was awesome to hear.

  They can't hear what you don't say. 

  If you want them to know anything you have to say it out loud so they can hear you.

  

You have to do what is .....

   You have to do what is best for you even though it may not have been what you ever wanted to do.

  You have to be able to do it alone just in case you find yourself having to do it alone. 

  You have to prepare yourself for whatever could come your way because you never know what is coming.

  You have to have a positive outlook if you have any chance for a positive outcome.

  You have to keep all your options open so you always have an option.

  You have to try because you won't know if you can do it until you try to do it.

  You only have the time you have so enjoy life while are living it. 

  

  

  

  

Don't wait for it

   Don't wait until it's too late. Because you don't want to miss your opportunity.

  Don't wait until it's gone. Because when it's gone, it's gone.

  Don't wait until you are too old to do it. Because you can't turn back time.

  Don't wait to enjoy it because it may not be available later to enjoy. Enjoy it while you have a chance to enjoy it.

  Don't forget what is most important because if it's important then it is important to remember.

  Don't wait to enjoy your children because before you know it they will be grown ups.

  Don't wait for it to fall in your lap because it won't. Go after your dreams to make your dreams come true.

  Don't wait, go for it. 

You can't AVOID it if you don't acknowledge it

   You can't IGNORE it if you want to be prepared for it. You have to ACKNOWLEDGE it so that you know how to prepare for it.

  You can't AVOID it if you don't ACKNOWLEDGE it so that you can do what you need to do so you can AVOID it.

  You can't MOVE past it if you don't ACKNOWLEDGE it so you can walk around it to KEEP MOVING. 

  KNOWING what to EXPECT will help you ACCEPT it so you are PREPARED for it.

  Don't PRETEND it isn't if it is. 

  Don't IGNORE it if you want to AVOID it.

  KNOWING what you NEED to do is the only way that you will KNOW what you NEED to do to GET R' DONE.

  

  

  

Different Strokes for Different Folks

  Just because they like it doesn't mean that you would like it.

  Just because it works for them doesn't mean it would work for you.

  Just because other people are doing it doesn't make it right.

 Just because you like it doesn't mean that anyone else would like it.

  Just because it works for you doesn't mean it would work for them.

  Just because it is the right thing to do is why everyone should do it.

  Just because you are who you are is what makes you, well you.

  Just because it is what is best for you is the only reason you need to JUST DO IT.

You shouldn't wait until you are old to....

 The older I get the more things I realize that I would have done differently had I only knew what I know now.

 If only I had listened to the advice my elders tried to tell me, I would not be here today regretting not listening.

  Life is full of lessons that you must learn at some time on your life's journey. 

  It's just a lot easier to listen so you can learn from the mistakes made by others than to learn them the hard way.

  If you know you have to learn as you go on your life's journey then the earlier you prepare for what you know is coming the better.

  At the place I am in life I realize that PEACE OF MIND is and always should have been MY PRIORITY. 

  I would like to pass on the positive message behind JUST FLUSH IT. 

  There are lots of advice on marketing a service or products but JUST FLUSH IT is a FEELING. 

  Any advice on how to MARKET a FEELING would be greatly appreciated. 

  

  

How did they do it?

   How is it that you can do it right in front of them yet they don't see what you were doing but they notice them doing it the first time they do it?

  How can you have worked so hard to build the foundation and steps yet they only notice the step railing?

  How is it that you do everything that you need to do to get it, yet not be rewarded by getting it?

  How is it that you did all the research to know what you need to do it yet not have everything that you need?

  How can they forget all that you had done to help them in the past the minute you say you just can't help them this time?

  Unfortunately no one gets everything they deserve. Unfortunately there are times when those people that don't deserve it at all yet they get it. That's just life.

  All you can do is do the best that you can do so you can be proud of YOURSELF. Because at the end of the day, that is what really matters. Not whether you got what you deserved because you might not.

It may not seem that important but...

  Take a few moments to sit down and have some "small talk" with someone.

  It may not seem like "small talk" is important but it is. What you learn from a minute of "small talk" may be very helpful to you later in your life.

  At the time you just enjoy visiting them and you relax together while you are just having conversations about nothing in particular just "small talk."

  But you just may learn some important information that can help you or someone you love navigate through a tough situation years later.

  As you lend them your ear to allow them to tell you about random things you just may hear about things that you will need to know one day later in your life.

  It may seem like "small talk" is small but it is the moments you will treasure most about the time you have spent with those you love.

  Big things come in small packages. Every moment you get to relax and enjoy each others company is moments you both will treasure.

Knowing and accepting are two different things

 You might know it but still have trouble accepting it.

  You may know what to EXPECT yet still have trouble accepting what will happen.

  You may know that something is bad for you yet still have trouble staying away so it can't hurt you.

  It's hard to ACCEPT the truth at times but if you don't you will have to ACCEPT the consequences for ignoring the truth.

  It is what it is, it ain't what it ain't. It's that simple.

 Just because you don't want to ACCEPT it doesn't mean you shouldn't ACCEPT it.

 You may not like it, but like it or not you have to ACCEPT that it is what it is to keep moving forward you just have to ACCEPT it for what it is.

  The truth may be hard to ACCEPT but that is just LIFE.

  

If you don't ask the question...

   If you want to know the answer to your question, you will have to ask the question.

  If you don't let them know what you need, how would they know what you need?

  Although there are some things there are no answers for, not even on Google. You won't know unless you look it up.

  You may think they know what you need but they don't unless you tell them what you need.

  The answer could be right in front of you but unless you look for it, you will never see it.

  If you don't know but you need to know then ASK someone so you will know.

  There is nothing wrong with asking but if you don't ASK you will wish you would have asked when things go wrong.

  No one knows everything but everyone knows that if you want to learn anything you need to ASK someone who knows the answers you need.

  If you don't ASK you will never know. ASK so you can make an informed decision.
