It's HARD TO BELIEVE if you don't have TRUSTWORTHY people to BELIEVE

    As I was just watching the movie Raya and the Last Dragon it brought on feelings of HOPEFULNESS that even in OUR WORLD to be able to find people you can BELIEVE IN.

     NOT EVERYONE TODAY will be HONEST so make sure that EVERYONE that you CHOOSE to ASSOCIATE WITH is someone that you can always BELIEVE will be HONEST. 

     Remember that IN LIFE when you are trying to STOP a BAD HABIT the FIRST THING that you HAVE TO DO is DON'T spend time with ANYONE that STILL HAS THAT BAD HABIT.

     When you start FEELING POSITIVELY INSPIRED by OTHERS you might REALIZE that those are the most IMPORTANT PEOPLE to HANGOUT WITH to HOPEFULLY HELP YOU FEEL INSPIRED. 

     When you want to FORGET IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT you can't HANGOUT with people who CONTINUALLY KEEP IT FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

     LOOK AT WHO YOU CHOOSE TO HANGOUT WITH and DECIDE SHOULD YOU HANGOUT WITH THEM.

     

    

    

     

     

    

Before you KNOW IT you will have to ADJUST during your LIFE'S JOURNEY.

     What used to WORK BEFORE just DOESN'T WORK that way NOWADAYS.

     But SAVING for YOUR FUTURE is STILL IMPORTANT TODAY just THE SAME as it ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

     You have to make sure YOU DO WHAT IS NECESSARY for YOUR FUTURE because ONLY YOU are IN CHARGE of what YOU will have in YOUR FUTURE.

    Staying CLOSE TO YOUR FAMILY is still just as IMPORTANT TODAY as it ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

     Although even YOUR FAMILY has ISSUES they will ALWAYS be there to HELP YOU if it's NECESSARY because that's what FAMILY DOES.

    Staying TRUE to YOUR STANDARDS is the ONLY WAY to STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF.

    If YOU KEEP CHANGING to PLEASE OTHERS before YOU KNOW IT you WON'T KNOW WHO YOU TRULY ARE.

    Staying HUMAN is NECESSARY during the GOOD DAYS and ALSO on the BAD DAYS if you plan on ALWAYS being a KIND HUMAN.

    YOU CAN'T CHANGE OTHERS but WHAT YOU DO IS YOUR CHOICE and YOUR CHOICES will be YOUR REALITY.

     BE the BEST YOU that YOU CAN BE and YOU WILL BE AS HAPPY as YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE.

You can LOSE yet you can be a WINNER

      You may NOT get everything that you could ever want but as long as you GET enough then you SUCCEEDED.

      If you can GET BY with WHATEVER you DO HAVE then you should be HAPPY that you have what you NEED to GET BY.

     Taking WHAT YOU GOT and USING IT CORRECTLY is BEING SMART and USEFUL with what you have.

     Sitting around WASTING your TIME worrying about ANYTHING that you DON'T HAVE is JUST BEING WASTEFUL of your TIME.

     When you KNOW what being GRATEFUL means then you know that you are LUCKY even though LIFE can sometimes be tough at times.

     When you are GRATEFUL then you realize that there are MANY THINGS that you are THANKFUL FOR even though there will be TOUGH TIMES. 

     Just WAKING UP each day is something to BE THANKFUL FOR even though you may face STRUGGLES you have to BE THANKFUL that YOU ARE ABLE TO FACE THEM.

     YESTERDAY is already gone and TOMORROW may never come but TODAY IS YOURS TO ENJOY.

     But it is UP TO YOU whether you will CHOOSE TO ENJOY IT. 

     We only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE so ENJOY IT on the GOOD DAYS and the BAD DAYS!🍄

THEY may NOT HEAR YOU but....

     But remember that THEY DEFINITELY CAN'T HEAR YOU if YOU DON'T SAY ANYTHING so that it CAN even POSSIBLY BE HEARD.

     You may KNOW a lot more about it but sometimes you don't SAY A WORD to TELL ANYONE that you ACTUALLY KNOW a lot about it.

     If YOU want to ENCOURAGE ANYONE then YOU will have to SAY SOMETHING ENCOURAGING to THEM.

     Even though THEY may NOT HEAR what YOU SAY, as long as YOU SAY IT to THEM then YOU WILL KNOW that at least YOU TOLD THEM.

     Because IF YOU DON'T SAY IT TO THEM and it HURTS THEM then YOU will REGRET NOT TELLING THEM so JUST TELL THEM..... whether THEY LISTEN is UP TO THEM.

     

     

     

Once YOU DECIDE then....

     Some people may REACT DIFFERENTLY than YOU CHOOSE TO REACT because what works for THEM just DOESN'T work for YOU.

     Some people NEED THINGS that you just DON'T NEED so they fight for WHAT THEY NEED just like YOU WILL fight for WHAT YOU NEED.

      ONCE YOU DECIDE then YOU DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU TO DO no matter what anyone else DECIDES that THEY will do.

     Let THEM BE THEM and do what THEY NEED TO DO and just worry about WHAT YOU NEED TO DO for YOURSELF.

    If YOU NEED IT then DO what YOU have TO DO to GET IT.

    If it is IMPORTANT TO YOU then DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO to GET WHAT YOU WANT to have for YOURSELF.

    IF YOU DON'T WANT TO REGRET IT then...... JUST DO IT so YOU CAN BE PROUD of WHAT YOU DID.

     SO IN LIFE.....Make up YOUR OWN MIND and JUST DO IT because WE ONLY have the TIME WE HAVE so WE NEED TO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WE HAVE. 🐞

     

A HAPPY HALLOWEEN is full of SUGARY FUN for EVERYONE

      Even though I don't get any TRICKER TREATERS at my house I still bought some HALLOWEEN CANDY to ENJOY.

     ALL DAY I have been watching videos of people in a HAUNTED HOUSE.

     My favorite ones were the ones on the Ellen Talk Show.

    I have LAUGHED UNCONTROLLABLY as they go through the HAUNTED HOUSE that they said IT WOULDN'T AFFECT THEM.

    And just like we all thought.....they WERE SCARED TO DEATH all the way through it because IT WAS SCARY.

     I know that I WOULDN'T GO THROUGH A HAUNTED HOUSE because I know that I WOULD BE SCARED.

     What about you....Would you go through a HAUNTED HOUSE?

     I hope everyone has A HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃 Now it's time to snack on a HALLOWEEN TREAT while I ENJOY the NO HOLIDAY CALORIES.

It's not very cold out yet but....

    When I woke up this morning I could FEEL that it was a LITTLE COLD outside today.

    And EXCITEDLY I knew I could FINALLY WEAR my FIRST LONG SLEEVE SHIRT today.

     In My state you DON'T get to WEAR your cool WARM CLOTHES very often but the FIRST FEW TIMES YOU GET TO.... It is NICE AND COZY.

    When I DROVE around to do my errands I noticed a few COLORFUL TREES poking out to say HELLO.

     When I am WATCHING VIDEOS of people in COLDER STATES on TikTok I get to SEE LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL COLORED TREES to ENJOY.

    But I DEFINITELY DO NOT MISS LIVING in a State that CONSTANTLY HAS COLDER WEATHER.

    I hear people who have NEVER LIVED in a COLD STATE BEFORE say they WOULD LOVE IT but.... I am PRETTY SURE if they ever DID they would PLAN ON MOVING BACK to their OLD WARM STATE AGAIN.

     So on a COLD DAY I ENJOY MY WINTER CLOTHES then the OTHER NINETY PERCENT of the time I will be WEARING LIGHT WEIGHT CLOTHES to STAY COMFORTABLE IN.

     Happy HALLOWEEN EVERYONE 👻

     

     

Going to a HALLMARK store leads to.... ENJOYING BEING HAPPY TODAY.

      As soon as I walked in the door I could INSTANTLY FEEL THE MASTALGIA vibes in the air 

     I QUICKLY LOOKED over the counter and there stood all the CHARACTERS from Winnie the Pooh staring back at me.

     ONE BY ONE I could INSTANTLY SEE EVERY CHARACTER I had ENJOYED and ADMIRED throughout my LIFETIME.

      Before I knew it in just ONE AISLE I had spent TWENTY MINUTES just saying ooh, wooh, oh yeah they are just ADORABLE over and over again.

     I knew I had to go a little faster as I was LOOKING IN THE STORE because I had other things I had to do today.

     I came in for some SPECIAL HOLIDAY CHRISTMAS CARDS and there were MANY TO SEE.

     I GRABBED SOME then before I knew it I even bought some special BIRTHDAY CARDS for my grandkids even though their birthdays were MONTHS AWAY.

     And I REALLY have NO IDEA how my SIMPLE trip to get FIVE CHRISTMAS CARDS is now costing me a total of $122. 

      BUT....IT DID!🎄 Head out to HALLMARK to ENJOY some FAMILY FILM CHARACTERS from YOUR TREASURIED MEMORIES.

      

Just because it POPS UP in your MIND DOESN'T mean you.....

    You may have FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT yet OUT OF THE BLUE it is suddenly FRONT AND CENTER in your mind and it is trying to BLOCK YOU UP.

    We have to remember that OUR MINDS have an ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS that runs through IT.

    But luckily YOU CAN instantly take NEGATIVE THOUGHTS and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so it DOESN'T AFFECT YOU.

    When a NEGATIVE THOUGHT tries to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION then instantly JUST FLUSH IT and FILL YOUR MIND with something else.

     YOUR THOUGHTS are what DETERMINES YOUR REALITY so.....PAY ATTENTION to WHAT YOU CHOOSE to THINK ABOUT.

     And if it EVOKES NEGATIVE THOUGHTS then you KNOW there is NO DOUBT that you need to JUST FLUSH IT.

     LIFE is full of UPS AND DOWNS but NO ONE BUT YOU will DECIDE what THOUGHTS YOU CHOOSE to THINK ABOUT.

    So if you want PEACE OF MIND you will have to FLUSH ALL THE NEGATIVITY so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

    You GET WHAT YOU are LOOKING FOR so CHOOSE to LOOK FOR POSITIVITY and you WILL FIND IT.

     

All you have to do is ASK YOURSELF.....

      Just because it might be what THEY WOULD DO doesn't mean that YOU SHOULD CONSIDER DOING IT THAT WAY.

     We EACH have OUR OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS and no matter what OTHER PEOPLE THINK we have TO DO what is BEST IN OUR OPINION.

     Just remember that EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE is what LEADS YOU TO WHERE YOU WILL GO.

    Even making NO DECISIONS is THE CHOICE YOU MAKE YOU WILL PAY THE CONSEQUENCES for EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE including what you CHOOSE NOT TO DO.

     When YOU have to DECIDE then STOP and THINK LONG and HARD about what YOUR DECISION WILL BRING.... BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.

     ASK YOURSELF what YOU SHOULD DO to have the BEST OUTCOME FOR YOURSELF then JUST DO IT.

     Because at the end of the day EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE WILL MATTER.

    

HALLOWEEN means it's ALSO almost THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS and a NEW YEAR

     Every SEASON is SPECIAL but HALLOWEEN, THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS and the START of a NEW YEAR is always a CRAZY TWO MONTHS.

     ENJOY your HALLOWEEN CANDY.... A LITTLE.... because THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMAS are ALSO full of SUGARY things for you to ENJOY TOO.

     I am GLAD my YEARLY BLOOD WORK is taken just BEFORE HALLOWEEN because I KNOW that I DON'T EAT very HEALTHY during these HOLIDAYS.

     You can ENJOY all the FUN FOOD as long as you make sure you DON'T OVER EAT more than YOU KNOW YOU ACTUALLY SHOULD.

     LIFE is FULL OF CHOICES that YOU will have to MAKE throughout your LIFE'S JOURNEY and ENJOYING THE HOLIDAYS is ALL ABOUT ALWAYS MAKING GOOD CHOICES along the way.

    As long as you LIMIT IT you CAN ENJOY IT.... REMEMBER that YOU LIMITING IT MEANS TO YOU it's BEING HEALTHY ENOUGH FOR YOU.

     ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS because HOLIDAYS ARE MEANT TO BE ENJOYED.🐞

     

Share your POSITIVITY so POSITIVITY GROWS

      Take a moment of your time to COMPLIMENT someone to help them FEEL POSITIVE.

      If they FEEL IT they will BE POSITIVELY COMFORTABLE and their POSITIVITY will FLOW. 

     Not everyone has someone around them that they HEAR POSITIVITY from yet they sure would APPRECIATE IT if someone did.

      Do you TAKE THE TIME to SPREAD POSITIVE VIBES to other people you see?

      Do you think that everyone REALIZES how IMPORTANT THEIR POSITIVE WORDS actually are if THEY ACTUALLY SAY THEM?

    Well.... POSITIVITY GROWS WHEREVER IT IS PLANTED.

     So if we want to SEE POSITIVITY in the WORLD then WE ALL have to SPREAD POSITIVITY WHEREVER WE GO so IT WILL GROW.

      I try to take the time to STRANGERS in public or even on TikTok who NEED to have SOME KINDNESS SPREAD ON THEM and I SPREAD POSITIVITY ON THEM to HELP THEM GROW.

      Now did it ACTUALLY HELP THEM I DO NOT KNOW.

      But I DO KNOW that I FELT GOOD for taking the time to PASS ON POSITIVITY and HOPED THAT IT DID.

     PASS ON POSITIVITY AND WATCH IT GROW! 😁 

     

    

      

     

WORK HARD to FIX IT so you can PROUDLY say that YOU FIXED IT

     After a FEW HOURS I could finally SEE a BIG DIFFERENCE and that made me EXCITEDLY WANT to KEEP WORKING ON IT.

      At first the thought of HOW HARD it CAN BE to ACCOMPLISH IT can make GETTING STARTED HARDER.

     But..... you KNOW that if you DON'T EVER GET STARTED that it will NEVER GET DONE.

      I DECIDED that instead of GETTING FRUSTRATED when it takes me A LOT LONGER than I THOUGHT I just REMIND MYSELF that AT LEAST I am HALF WAY DONE ALREADY.

     And then when it FINALLY GETS DONE I will be able to PROUDLY SAY that it WAS HARD but I DID IT!

      SOMETIMES we TELL OURSELVES WE CAN'T just because WE DON'T WANT TO WORK HARD ENOUGH TO DO IT.

     BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF and if it is IMPORTANT TO YOU then..... FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT so you can PROUDLY SAY YOU DID IT.

      

    

     

Getting ANGRY is easy but letting go of the ANGER is sometimes HARD

      You might have been THRILLED about your PLANS yet sometimes your PLANS might have to CHANGE.

      You might look forward to the NEW CHANGES yet sometimes THINGS that CHANGE can be HARD to DEAL WITH.

     You might have HOPED for a SUNNY DAY yet the RAIN can BLOW UP out of the blue.

     When something ANGERS you then take a MOMENT to ACCEPT it and feel a little FRUSTRATED but then JUST FLUSH IT and you can SMILE.

     LIFE is like a ROLLERCOASTER and just like any ROLLERCOASTER there will be UPS AND DOWNS..... that's JUST LIFE.

    REMEMBER.....It's okay to sit on your PITY-POTTY because it did ANGER you but you got to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

     A RICH PERSON just like a POOR PERSON has GOOD DAYS and BAD DAYS and BOTH have to FLUSH AWAY A BAD DAY so they can ENJOY LIFE.

     When you FEEL ANGRY OR OVERWHELMED just remember that you can FLUSH AWAY YOUR FRUSTRATION by FLUSHING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME.

     When you are having a GOOD DAY then FREAKING ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT. 😃

     

Doing something SPECIAL for YOURSELF is a NECESSITY to stay HEALTHY

      It isn't SELFISH if you MAKE SURE that YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED in YOUR LIFE, it's BEING SMART so that YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED.

      If it is IMPORTANT FOR YOU then NO MATTER WHAT it takes.... YOU JUST HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO to HAVE WHAT YOU NEED.

      Keep in mind that NO ONE WILL get EVERYTHING that THEY COULD EVER WANT because THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

      But as long as YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED then be THANKFUL that YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED because some people DON'T.

      If you spend all YOUR TIME THINKING about everything that YOU DON'T HAVE then YOU WON'T be able to ENJOY WHAT YOU DO HAVE.

      When you are SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME THINKING about a NEGATIVE SITUATION......STOP.... and ACCEPT IT then JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

      Because if you want PEACE OF MIND some times you have to JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

      

      

     

I THOUGHT I KNEW but.....

     If YOU BELIEVE IT then.... to YOU it is TRUE even though it REALLY ISN'T anything but an UNASSUMED GUESS.

     YOU might have wanted to ACCOMPLISH IT yet when YOU GET ALL THE FACTS it may turn out that YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

     If YOU want to make an HONEST DECISION then YOU have to GET ALL THE FACTS so that YOU CAN make an INFORMED DECISION.

     OTHERWISE..... YOU are GOING to have to DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES for YOUR UNEDUCATED GUESS.

     As YOU KNOW EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE MATTERS and YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW for YOUR DECISIONS whether YOU CHOSE TO GET the FACTS.

     The TRUTH MAY HURT but..... ONLY the TRUTH can KEEP YOU FREE from MAKING A HUGE UNEDUCATED GUESS.

      YOU HAVE A CHOICE so....GET the FACTS so YOU CAN CHOOSE WISELY.

What MIGHT HAVE BEEN has nothing to do with WHAT IT TRULY IS

      You SHOULD always STAY HOPEFUL even though things SEEM HOPELESS.

     You SHOULD always STAY POSITIVE because POSITIVITY brings POSITIVE VIBES that brings A POSITIVE OUTCOME.

     Because A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE brings NEGATIVE ENERGY that then brings A NEGATIVE OUTCOME.

    There are TIMES when you may face NEGATIVE SITUATIONS but YOUR THOUGHTS about the SITUATION will DETERMINE the OUTCOME from the SITUATION.

     HOW YOU LOOK AT IT will DETERMINE WHAT YOU SEE and WHAT YOU THINK YOU SEE will DETERMINE HOW YOU WILL REACT to WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS SAY YOU SAW. 

     SO.....STOP AND LOOK AT IT until you FIND A WAY to have a GOOD OUTCOME by CHOOSING WHAT YOU CAN DO to have THE BEST CIRCUMSTANCES that YOU CAN POSSIBLY HAVE.

     YOUR THOUGHTS DETERMINE YOUR REALITY.....SO THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS and ENJOY THE POSITIVE OUTCOME.

     

    

TIME is TIME for YOU TO HAVE FUN

     We only have the TIME WE HAVE so WE NEED to ENJOY EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of TIME that WE HAVE.

     Getting ANGRY DOESN'T FIX ANYTHING but it CAN MAKE THINGS WORSE.

    It may feel like SAYING IT WHILE YOU ARE ANGRY will LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL but.... TRUST ME..... IT MAKES THINGS WORSE than it HAD TO BE.

    If YOU give YOURSELF A MOMENT to ACCEPT WHAT HAS HAPPENED then YOU WILL REALIZE just HOW YOUR REACTION WILL AFFECT YOU.

    ONCE THE ANGER IS Gone then YOU WILL SEE that LUCKILY YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ANGRY that COULD HAVE MADE THINGS WAY WORSE than it is.

     LIFE has MANY TURNS on YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY and YOU WILL HAVE TO ADJUST to ENJOY THE RIDE, THAT'S JUST LIFE.

    

YOU CAN but..... WILL YOU?

     You may have a LOT OF LOVE in your heart but.......do YOU KNOW if ANYONE CAN FEEL IT?

     You may KNOW WHAT they WANT TO DO but..... will YOU TAKE THE TIME TO TELL THEM so they WILL ALWAYS KNOW HOW to DO IT because YOU TAUGHT THEM?

     If they DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SHOULD DO..... then they WON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING.

     When you are young YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO RIDE A BIKE but..... You KNOW that ONE DAY YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO RIDE A BIKE.

     Instead of getting FRUSTRATED that they DON'T ALREADY KNOW just be PROUD that YOU are able to TEACH THEM HOW TO DO IT.

     When YOU HELP SOMEONE it HELPS BOTH OF YOU because then YOU ALSO FEEL PROUD OF YOURSELF for taking the TIME TO HELP THEM.

     BE KIND TO EVERYONE YOU MEET because you have NO IDEA WHAT they may be facing and YOUR SMILE may be what they NEED TO FLUSH AWAY A BAD DAY.

     

Instead of DWELLING ON IT you can GROW FROM IT

      No matter how many TIMES YOU THINK about it..... NOTHING will CHANGE WHAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

      But IF IT HAPPENS then you have to ACCEPT IT and LEARN FROM IT then.... JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind and DON'T LET IT stay FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

      If YOU KEEP it FRESH ON YOUR MIND then it will ALWAYS CONTINUE TO WEIGH YOU DOWN and you will CARRY IT LIKE SANDBAGS throughout your LIFE'S JOURNEY.

     Just because it was MEANT TO HAPPEN ONCE to GET YOU where you NEEDED TO BE doesn't mean that it SHOULD CONTINUE HURTING YOU.

     JUST ACCEPT IT and LEARN FROM IT then JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so YOU CAN ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

      What YOU LEARN may be PAINFUL but YOU have to GROW WHEREVER YOU ARE PLANTED and GROWING PAINS are SOMETIMES PAINFUL.

     WE EACH have just ONE LIFE TO LIVE and WE ALL NEED TO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WE CAN while WE ARE LIVING IT.

      

      

      

    

Quietness is NEEDED to be able to THINK CLEARLY

      If YOU SEE A COVER of a book do YOU THINK that YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT?

      Well you might SEE that by the TITLE and the PICTURE it LOOKS like it COULD Be about WILDERNESS but....if YOU READ it you will LEARN nothing about the WILDERNESS.

     Things at times SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA but the TRUTH is sometimes they are just TRICKING YOU so YOU WILL AGREE WITH IT then YOU FIND OUT TOO LATE that it ISN'T ANYTHING GOOD at all.

     There was a TIME in the GOOD OLD DAYS when YOUR WORD MEANT EVERYTHING but TODAY even WHEN THEY SAY IT they are PURPOSELY DECEIVING YOU because..... THEY CAN.

     TODAY YOU have to BE CAREFUL AND FOCUS ON WHAT YOU NEED to BE COMFORTABLE in MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS to GET what YOU NEED.

      TODAY YOU have to BE OPEN TO ACCEPTING that if YOU WANT to do it IT WILL BE HARD but YOUR HARD WORK is NECESSARY to GET EVERYTHING that YOU NEED.

     If YOU want to THINK CLEARLY then STOP FILLING YOUR MIND with USELESS THINGS that ARE THERE just to CONFUSE YOU FROM THINKING CLEARLY.

     FIND A QUIET PLACE to SIT DOWN and FOCUS so YOU CAN THINK CLEARLY and then YOU CAN MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR YOURSELF.

      EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE MATTERS and YOU WILL FACE the CONSEQUENCES for EVERY DECISION THAT YOU MAKE so......STOP and THINK BEFORE YOU DECIDE.

       CHOOSING TO DO NOTHING is ALSO A CHOICE YOU MAKE so.....DO WHAT IS RIGHT ALL THE TIME.

      YOUR DECISION is YOUR DECISION so THINK CLEARLY ABOUT IT and CHOOSE WISELY.

     

     

Be CAREFUL that you AREN'T TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF

     It's HARD to KNOW if YOU ARE NEEDED or.....are YOU BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF because THEY KNOW YOU will SAY YES.

     Because sometimes PEOPLE ASK just because THEY HOPE YOU WILL DO IT so THEY WON'T HAVE TO.

     WE EACH have to DO EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR OURSELVES so that WE ARE DOING GOOD FOR OURSELVES.

     Now if you have EXTRA FOOD then PLEASE SHARE IT with PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ANY..... and DON'T JUST WASTE IT SELFISHLY.

     But DON'T..... GIVE ALL YOUR TIME, ENERGY, AND MONEY TO LAZY PEOPLE so THEY CAN CONTINUALLY BE LAZY.

     If YOU want to SAVE MONEY for YOUR FUTURE you have to WATCH YOUR MONEY AND SAVE IT so YOU WILL HAVE IT LATER when YOU WILL NEED IT.

     Because the TRUTH IS YOU HAVE TO SAVE YOURSELF because NO ONE ELSE WILL BE THERE TO SAVE YOU.

     BEING KIND to EVERYONE YOU MEET takes BEING KIND TO THEM and sometimes a SMILE maybe ALL YOU HAVE TO SHARE WITH THEM. 

      

     

YOUR LAWN REQUIRES WORK and so does YOUR LIFE

     When you go outside to CUT YOUR GRASS you first have to pick up all the limbs and clutter so YOU CAN MOW IT.

    Once you get it MOWED you will ENJOY THE CLEAN CUT GRASS and the GRASS SMELL in the air makes you FEEL GOOD about all YOUR HARD WORK IT TOOK to DO IT.

     Throughout Life If you NOTICE that YOUR LAWN NEEDS WATER then YOU WATER IT as NEEDED.

     If you NOTICE that YOUR LAWN has WAY TOO MANY WEEDS then you have to go buy some CHEMICALS to GET RID OF THE WEEDS. 

    If YOU SEE TOO MANY ANTHILLS you have to go to the store and buy CHEMICALS TO GET RID OF THE ANTS.

     If YOU want to TAKE CARE OF YOUR LAWN then you will have to PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IT NEEDS and DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to FIX IT.

     It's the SAME in YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

      Pay ATTENTION to WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE and JUST DO IT. 

     EXCEPT that there are going to be GOOD DAYS and there are going to be BAD DAYS, that's JUST LIFE.

    And REGARDLESS of what STRUGGLES or ACCOMPLISHMENTS you FACE we all ONLY have ONE LIFE TO LIVE and WE HAVE TO ENJOY EVERY DAY WE HAVE TO ENJOY.

      

   

Have you ever NOTICED any MEMORIES at the FLEA MARKET?.

      As I was WATCHING an OLD family type show I SAW MANY THINGS that I had ALSO ENDURED IN MY LIFETIME.

     I also SAW MANY OLD DECORATIONS and FURNITURE that was POPULAR IN THE OLD DAYS.

     My husband SAW a PARTICULAR PLATES from his CHILDHOOD and we began to COLLECT a HUGE COLLECTION that we NOW USE FOR OUR HOLIDAY DINNERS.

     When we WANT TO REMEMBER OUR PAST we go to FLEA MARKETS to SEE WHAT RELATIVES and MEMORIES WE WILL SEE EACH TIME WE GO.

     YOU GOT to GO TO YOUR LOCAL FLEA MARKET and FIND THE MEMORIES and ENJOY THEM FOR A MOMENT.

     NOW DON'T BUY ALL OF IT..... JUST ENJOY IT and LEAVE IT THEIR.

     OR OTHERWISE YOUR HOUSE WOULD JUST BE A STORAGE UNIT instead of a COMFORTABLE COZY PLACE to LIVE COMFORTABLY.

    EYE CANDY is EYE CANDY that you ENJOY FOR A MOMENT then... JUST FLUSH IT.....and KEEP LOOKING for your NEXT EYE CANDY that YOU MIGHT FIND at the FLEA MARKET NEXT.

     

KINDNESS is..... BEING PEACEFUL

      If YOU ARE ANGERED then give yourself TIME TO ACCEPT IT because then you will THINK MORE PEACEFULLY.

     If you are OVERWHELMED give yourself TIME to THINK ABOUT IT so you can FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU can PEACEFULLY DO and ACCEPT WHAT YOU CAN DO.

     If you are CURIOUS about something then LOOK FOR THE HONEST ANSWERS so you will KNOW ALL ABOUT IT so you can make an HONEST DECISION.

     If you want PEOPLE TO ACCEPT YOUR OPINIONS then you will have to ALWAYS ACCEPT THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS.

     If you want PEACEFUL COMMUNITIES than YOU will have to MAKE SURE EVERYONE in YOUR COMMUNITY WILL ALWAYS BE SAFE.

     If you want to BE KIND you have to DO SOMETHING THAT IS KIND.

     If you want to BE HONEST than make sure that WHAT YOU SAY IS ALWAYS HONEST.

     If you want to MAKE THE WORLD a BETTER PLACE then DO EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN to MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE.

     The WORLD WON'T GET BETTER on its OWN we ALL must DO OUR PART to SPREAD HUMANITY to REPLACE THE INSANITY we SEE IN SOCIETY.

     

 

Even though you CANT FIX IT you CAN STILL....

     It's HARD to IMAGINE just HOW IT CAN BE FIXED YET..... YOU have to DO YOUR BEST to TRY and FIX IT.

     ONE PERSON CAN NOT DO IT ALL but YOU CAN FIND ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT IT WOULD TAKE who CAN GET TOGETHER TO GET IT DONE CORRECTLY.

     Even though you CAN'T UNDO ALL OF IT you CAN STILL DO WHAT YOU CAN DO to MAKE IT THE BEST THAT YOU CAN POSITIVELY GET IT.

      YOU may NOT be ABLE TO FIX IT ALL but..... YOU DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T MAKE ANYTHING HARDER ON OTHERS EITHER.....EVER.

      In the FAST PACED WORLD we live in we get SO BUSY that WE ARE TOO TIRED to STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES while they are BLOOMING.

      EVERYDAY we ALL NEED to STOP long enough to FEEL THE HAPPINESS of EVERY DAY and STOP to SMELL THE POSITIVITY IN EVERYDAY WE HAVE. 😇

     

     

     

As long as you are HONEST then....

      You could TELL YOURSELF but if it ISN'T TRUE then WERE YOU HONEST with YOURSELF?

     You could DISCOURAGE YOURSELF but that WOULDN'T make it HONESTLY HELPFUL to YOURSELF... WOULD IT?

      If you are HONEST about WHAT YOU HAVE then.... you will HONESTLY KNOW WHAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE.

     If you are HONEST with EVERYONE then they will LEARN HOW HONEST you HONESTLY are.

     If you PRETEND IT ISN'T HAPPENING when it is HAPPENING then..... you will have to CONTINUE LIVING IT because IT WILL CONTINUALLY KEEP HAPPENING.

     As long as YOU ARE HONEST WITH YOURSELF then..... You WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO CHANGE.

     DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED because......

     ONLY YOU HONESTLY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU TRULY NEED.

     SO.... LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND ALWAYS BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF.

     

Our OPINIONS are DIFFERENT because we are ALL DIFFERENT

      Just because they are a VEGETARIAN doesn't mean that you both WON'T ENJOY EATING LUNCH TOGETHER.

     Just because you CHOOSE NOT TO DRIVE A TRUCK doesn't mean that TRUCKS ARE BAD....it just means that WHATEVER you will CHOOSE TO DRIVE will NOT BE A TRUCK.

    Just because you DON'T LIKE TO GET DRESSED UP DOESN'T MEAN that you WON'T GET DRESSED UP on special OCCASIONS.

     Just because you CHOOSE DIFFERENT THINGS TO DO DOESN'T MEAN that there WON'T BE SOME THINGS that YOU BOTH ENJOY.

   PERHAPS you have FORGOTTEN that WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT and because WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT that is WHY WE CHOOSE OUR OWN THINGS IN LIFE.

     If you WANT PEOPLE TO RESPECT YOUR DECISION then YOU WILL HAVE TO RESPECT that EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS.

     YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS DON'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH EACH OTHER but LUCKILY YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS ACCEPT EACH OTHER'S RIGHT to MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS.

     YOU BE YOU AND.... LET THEM BE THEM..... AND LET'S ALL ENJOY LIVING OUR LIVES HAPPILY BEING OUR OWN SELVES.

     

REALIZING that even though you want it DOESN'T MEAN that THEREFORE YOU GET IT

      As a YOUNG CHILD you BELIEVE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE... yet one day you REALIZE that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE yet.....NOT EVERYTHING WORKS OUT EXACTLY like you thought.

     As you BECOME A GROWN UP you REALIZE that IT LOOKED EASY yet..... It is ACTUALLY ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to ACTUALLY GET IT ACCOMPLISHED.

     When you become a MIDDLE-AGED PERSON you KNOW that EVERYTHING that you want will take a lot of HARD WORK to ACTUALLY GET IT.

     By the time you get OLDER you REALIZE that WHAT YOU GOT IS WHAT YOU GOT and you GOT TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE.

    START OFF at a YOUNG AGE to PREPARE FOR EVERYTHING that YOU WILL NEED when you GET OLDER and GET READY to be OLD..... while you are GETTING OLD.

     MAKE A PLAN and STICK TO THE PLAN so YOU CAN BE COMFORTABLE when you NEED TO BE READY FOR BEING A HAPPY OLDER PERSON.

     IT'S UP TO YOU to FIGURE OUT how to BE AS COMFORTABLE AS YOU CAN BE at EVERY AGE YOU ARE.... 

     BUT.....EVERY AGE IS A PREPARATION for WHAT YOUR TOMORROWS WILL BE FOR YOU.

     

     

Is a CARROT healthier for you if it is EATEN RAW OR COOKED?

      HOW you ASK THE QUESTION will DETERMINE WHAT ANSWER you will get.

      Sometimes as you SCROLL THROUGH GOOGLE to FIND AN ANSWER you may have to ASK THE QUESTION DIFFERENTLY to GET THE ANSWER YOU NEED TO KNOW.

     It's HARD TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO ASK to get the KIND OF ANSWER that ANSWERS YOUR EXACT QUESTION.

     SOME QUESTIONS take on COMPLEX CERTAINTIES to ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS and you might NOT KNOW everything NECESSARY to ASK CORRECTLY.

     EACH OF OUR MINDS AND BODIES are DIFFERENT and HOW OUR MIND AND BODY REACTS will be DETERMINED BY MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.

    AND YES....FRESH CARROTS are HEALTHY EITHER WAY....so JUST EAT HEALTHY CARROTS.

    SOME PEOPLE FEEL GOOD sitting in the SUN yet SOME PEOPLE HATE sitting in the SUN.

    SOME PEOPLE DON'T THINK about EATING HEALTHY yet SOME OF US DO because we WANT TO BE AS HEALTHY AS we POSSIBLY CAN.

    YOU Ask the QUESTIONS that MATTER TO YOU and let THEM ASK whatever QUESTIONS they WANT TO ASK.

    WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT and there are SOME THINGS that we just DO DIFFERENTLY just because we are UNIQUELY DIFFERENT.

     And not EVERY QUESTION YOU MIGHT HAVE can an ANSWER BE FOUND.....NOT EVEN ON GOOGLE.

      Sometimes you just have to DO THE BEST THAT YOU CAN DO and HOPE EVERYTHING TURNS OUT GOOD ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE.

     

     

Sometimes you THINK IT IS up to you but ...

     Have you ever STARTED A PROJECT that you THOUGHT for sure YOU COULD DO IT....yet AFTER TRYING IT you REALIZE THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE?

     YOU MAY have been the ONE EXPECTED TO START IT but YOU might REALIZE that YOU ARE JUST THE STARTER and THEN you will have to GIVE IT TO the PERSON who is SUPPOSED TO FINISH IT.

     YOU were NECESSARY TO GET THE BALL ROLLING but you DON'T have what IS NECESSARY TO FINISH IT to COMPLETION.

      YOU CAN be GREAT AT WRITING but YOU ARE NOT A GOOD ENTHUSIASTIC ENTREPRENEUR so.... LOOK FOR THE RIGHT SPEAKER to GET IT GOING.

     YOU CAN be GOOD at BEING ARTISTIC but there is A lot more things that NEED DONE besides ONLY ARTISTICALLY.

      BEFORE YOU GET STARTED you have to FIGURE OUT WHAT WILL NEED DONE... Then APPOINT the RIGHT PEOPLE TO GET EACH JOB DONE.

     AND SPREAD THE POSITIVE MESSAGE behind JUST FLUSH IT so people will have ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN. 

      

 

     

    

I THOUGHT about what people would REMEMBER but....

     Have you ever KNOWN someone that you THOUGHT had a HEART OF GOLD?

     Yet EVENTUALLY you SAW FOR YOURSELF that their KINDNESS was ONLY OCCASIONALLY.

     Have you ever DREAMED that in the end YOUR DREAM would come TRUE?

     Only to one day REALIZE that NOT EVERY DREAM CAN COME TRUE......

     Have you ever ASSUMED that GOODNESS is ALWAYS GUARANTEED?

     ONLY to sometimes REALIZE that you will FACE CHAOS throughout your LIFE'S JOURNEY... that's JUST LIFE.

     DON'T ALWAYS EXPECT that you WON'T have to WORK HARD because everything that you MIGHT WANT may take a lot of HARD WORK to GET IT.

     If it is IMPORTANT TO YOU then you will have to do WHATEVER IT TAKES if you EXPECT TO HAVE  ANY CHANCE TO GET IT.... because if YOU WANT IT then YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THE HARD WORK.

     If you WANT TO BE REMEMBERED as someone WHO IS KIND then YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE KIND so that KINDNESS is the ONLY THING THEY REMEMBER ABOUT YOU.

    YOUR MEMORIES are based on the MEMORIES YOU HAVE MADE with EVERYONE WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE. 

    So you MIGHT THINK they REMEMBER YOU when you WERE HAPPY yet.... WHAT WILL THEY REMEMBER ABOUT YOU?

    JUST BE KIND TO EVERYONE YOU MEET because you have NO IDEA what THEY may be facing.

     

Make it a NECESSITY so.....it WILL GET DONE

      If you want to MAKE IT HAPPEN you will have to GET UP and DO SOMETHING so that it CAN HAPPEN.

     If you WANT IT then you will have TO DO WHATEVER you have TO DO if if you are going to have ANY CHANCE OF GETTING IT.

     You can HOPE for IT but if you DON'T DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO then it is HOPELESS.

     You might KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD but unless YOU DO WHAT YOU SHOULD then IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN because you WOULDN'T DO WHAT YOU SHOULD'VE DONE.

     START LOOKING at what YOU WANT and then DECIDE WHAT YOU WILL HAVE TO DO to GET IT DONE. 👍

      SOMETIMES it is HARDER than you THOUGHT but HONESTLY.... THE HARDER YOU HAVE TO WORK will make you know just HOW COOL YOU ARE. 😎

      

OOOOPPPPSSS I SAW IT but I SAW IT TOTALLY WRONG

     Have you ever THOUGHT YOU SAW IT CORRECTLY but.... YOU WERE TOTALLY WRONG about WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU SAW?

     Have you ever GOT UPSET with something that YOU THOUGHT THEY DID....but you FIND OUT LATER that THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T DO IT?

    Have you ever DECIDED NOT TO GO somewhere because YOU THOUGHT YOU SHOULDN'T GO THERE yet..... YOU REALIZE LATER that YOU WISH YOU WOULD HAVE GONE THERE?

     Someone may be TOTALLY DIFFERENT than YOU but YOU CAN STILL ENJOY HANGING OUT WITH THEM.

      You may have THOUGHT that you may NOT LIKE TACOS because YOU HAD NEVER ATE ONE yet ONCE YOU TRY THEM they might end up being YOUR FAVORITE FOOD.

     DON'T LET WHAT YOU THINK about it DETERMINE WHAT IT REALLY IS.... Because SOMETIMES IT AIN'T WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS.

    JUST ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN so YOU WILL SEE EVERYTHING from EVERY ANGLE.... before YOU DECIDE.

     

Let TODAY be based on...... TODAY

     If you want to have FUN TODAY you will have to QUIT THINKING about WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY or WHAT COULD HAPPEN TOMORROW.

     If you want to ENJOY the FUN PARTS about TODAY you will have to QUIT THINKING about the NEGATIVE THOUGHTS about IT.

     IT'S EASY but it is ALSO HARD sometimes but.... To ENJOY TODAY you will have to THINK POSITIVELY TODAY.

      There is always THINGS that COULD affect YOUR ATTITUDE TODAY...if YOU LET IT affect YOUR ATTITUDE TODAY.

      YOUR THOUGHTS are WHAT AFFECTS TODAY because YOUR THOUGHTS are the REALITY that YOU WILL have TODAY, REGARDLESS of WHETHER IT IS TRUE OR NOT. 

       If you LOOK FOR TROUBLE TODAY.... YOU WILL FIND IT.

      If you LOOK FOR THE POSITIVE THINGS TODAY.... THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL FIND TODAY.

     YESTERDAY is ALREADY GONE, TOMORROW may NEVER COME but TODAY is YOURS TO ENJOY...... WILL YOU CHOOSE TO ENJOY TODAY?

     

     

      

Sometimes you just want to FORGET ABOUT IT yet ...

       Have you ever tried to FORGET ABOUT IT then SOMEONE ELSE brings it up again?

      Have you ever tried to FORGET ABOUT IT yet the TINIEST THING just brings it up FRONT AND CENTER in your mind again?

      Have you ever WANTED to TRY IT DIFFERENTLY to see what would happen yet ONCE AGAIN you do it EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AGAIN?

       Sometimes the SHIT you WISH you COULD FORGET just KEEPS POPPING UP FRESH ON YOUR MIND over and over again.

     LUCKILY YOU CAN INSTANTLY....... JUST FLUSH IT.....OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

      Because LIKE IT OR NOT..... NEGATIVE THOUGHTS will CONTINUALLY try to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION and you will AGAIN have to JUST FLUSH IT as IT COMES.

      You will NEVER be able to TOTALLY FORGET ABOUT IT but YOU DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE TO KEEP IT FRESH ON YOUR MIND so it can KEEP HURTING YOU EVER AGAIN..... JUST FLUSH IT as IT COMES.

      If you want PEACE OF MIND you will have to JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN!🙂

Just LOOKING doesn't mean.....

     If you ONLY LOOK at it from BEHIND..... then you can ONLY SEE what is BEHIND IT.

    If you ONLY LOOK from the FRONT..... then you will ONLY SEE what is in THE FRONT.

     If you ONLY LOOK SIDEWAYS..... then you can ONLY SEE what is on THE SIDE.

     If you ONLY HEAR PART of THE CONVERSATION..... then you have NO IDEA what it is REALLY TRULY ABOUT.

     If you ONLY HEAR BITS AND PIECES.... that means NOTHING without GETTING ALL THE INFORMATION about the WHOLE CONVERSATION.

     If you ONLY Read the TITLE OF A BOOK that doesn't mean that YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.

     The title is just THERE to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION so that you will WANT TO READ THE ENTIRE BOOK.

     If you don't GET ALL THE FACTS then you will NEVER KNOW THE TRUE FACTS to JUDGE IT BY.

     If you WANT TO KNOW then LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT IT so YOU WILL TRULY KNOW EVERYTHING before YOU DECIDE.

      The TRUTH MAY HURT but the TRUTH will HELP YOU DECIDE WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU.

       

    

Don't EXPECT IT because.....

      You can WORK HARD but you CAN'T EXPECT that you have done EVERYTHING so you will always GET EVERYTHING.

      Because you don't always get EVERYTHING that you WORKED HARD for.

      You can DREAM BIG but you won't always get WHAT you DREAMED FOR.

     LEARN to ENJOY WHATEVER you GET because that may be ALL YOU CAN EXPECT.

     The MOMENT that you EXPECT that you won't always get WHAT YOU EXPECTED then you will BEGIN TO ENJOY WHAT YOU DO HAVE.

       START SPENDING TIME with the ELDERS in your life and they will tell you that they are doing GOOD but they don't have EVERYTHING that they EXPECTED.

       When you are YOUNGER you EXPECT THINGS that in ALL ACTUALITY.....ARE IMPOSSIBLE to ACTUALLY HAVE when YOU are OLDER. 

         THE ELDERS will REMIND YOU that in LIFE as long as you have EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED then YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT what you DIDN'T GET.    

      STOP EXPECTING EVERYTHING to be PERFECT so YOU CAN ENJOY LIFE while YOU ARE LIVING IT.

What YOU GIVE to OTHERS.....

      EVERY ACT OF KINDNESS will bring A SMILE to ANYONE that RECEIVES YOUR KINDNESS.

      BUT that can ONLY HAPPEN if YOU DO SOMETHING KIND to SOMEONE.

      If you KNOW that all YOU HAVE to GIVE is KIND WORDS then SAY SOMETHING KIND.

      Just LISTENING to SOMEONE can HELP THEM....so take TIME to LISTEN so it CAN HELP THEM.

     YOU may ONLY HAVE a LITTLE to GIVE but that SMALL ACT OF KINDNESS will GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT OF HELP.

     We all have had a BAD DAY THROUGHOUT LIFE and there was ONE THING THAT HAPPENED that HELPED US SEE the UPSIDE AGAIN.

       YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIX EVERYTHING they NEED..... YOU just NEED to ALWAYS be KIND to EVERYONE that YOU MEET.

      YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT exactly BEING KIND to SOMEONE will do to THEM..... but YOU KNOW HOW GOOD it MADE YOU FEEL when YOU HELPED THEM.

    ALWAYS BE KIND to EVERYONE YOU MEET because you have NO IDEA what THEY may be going through.

      ONCE YOU MAKE THEM SMILE then YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FEEL ANYTHING BUT BE PROUD of WHAT YOU DID.

      A SMILE says PEACE in ANY LANGUAGE. 😁

     

      

DON'T let your DECISION be based on someone else's OPINION

      In a GROUP OF PEOPLE you will ALWAYS have MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF OPINIONS and they may NOT EVEN be any OPINION like YOUR OPINION.

      In an ART STUDIO you may NOT LIKE every painting but there will be MANY PEOPLE who DO LIKE that type of ARTWORK.

      In a BUSY WORLD you may NOT NOTICE EVERYTHING because you are TOO BUSY to have TIME TO ENJOY ANYTHING.

     BUSY OR NOT always REMIND YOURSELF that the ONLY OPINION that REALLY MATTERS is YOUR OPINION.

      Because ONLY YOU will have to LIVE WITH the CONSEQUENCES for EVERYTHING THAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO.

      If you WANT SOMETHING then it will be UP TO YOU to FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT and then FIND A WAY TO GET IT DONE.

       YOUR ROAD might be LONGER than SOMEONE ELSE'S ROAD but....if you WANT TO GET THERE then FOCUS ON GETTING THERE so YOU WILL GET THERE.

       

In the MORNING you START your DAY

      When you WAKE UP each day make sure you START OFF in a POSITIVE WAY.

      If you WAKE UP each day DREADING IT then you will START OFF with a NEGATIVE ATTITUDE.

      The second you BRUSH YOUR HAIR you FEEL ORGANIZED and READY to START OFF with ORGANIZED CONFIDENCE that TODAY is going to be a POSITIVE DAY.

    The MOMENT you BRUSH YOUR TEETH you FEEL FRESH and you are READY to START the DAY OFF WITH A SMILE.

     If you want to FEEL DRESSED for TODAY you GOT to GET UP and GET DRESSED right away so you will be DRESSED and READY for TODAY.

     To be HONEST about what you CAN ACTUALLY GET DONE TODAY will make sure you are NOT OVERWHELMED with MORE THAN you COULD POSSIBLY DO in a DAY.

     Just WAKING UP EACH DAY is a POSITIVE WAY to START ENJOYING TODAY.... REGARDLESS of what STRUGGLES you may have to STRUGGLE with TODAY.

     TOMORROW when you WAKE UP make sure you ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE.

    

    

PEACE will come ONE PIECE....ONE THOUGHT....ONE PERSON AT A TIME

     If you want PEACE OF MIND you will have to learn how to take all the CHAOS in your life and JUST FLUSH IT..... AS IT COMES.

     Because OTHERWISE..... there WOULDN'T BE ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN!

     WE ALL face some TYPE of CHAOS during our LIFE'S JOURNEY.

    And just like we ALWAYS DO.... we will ADJUST as WE GO.

    Like the plaque on my wall says....

     I asked God for ALL THINGS that I might ENJOY LIFE. He gave me LIFE so that I might ENJOY ALL THINGS.

     WHAT you LOOK for is EXACTLY WHAT you WILL FIND.

    So..... ALWAYS LOOK for the POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION and you will SEE WHAT is POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION.

    YOUR THOUGHTS are UP TO YOU.

     

     

STOP trying to please everyone......

     No matter what you do there will be PLENTY of people who won't like what you have CHOSEN to do.

     So QUIT trying to PLEASE EVERYONE because it ISN'T POSSIBLE to actually do.

     Be YOUR TRUE SELF and you will be PROUD of what you CHOOSE to do.

     If you KEEP CHANGING to PLEASE OTHERS before you KNOW it....you will NEVER KNOW WHO YOU TRULY ARE.

      The more times you CHANGE YOUR MIND to FIT IN..... the more you will LOSE YOURSELF.

      Be the BEST YOU that you CAN BE and you will be the BEST THAT YOU CAN BE.

       If YOU ARE PROUD OF YOURSELF then WHO THE HECK CARES WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS about YOU.

      You can EITHER BE.... YOUR WORST ENEMY....OR YOUR BEST CHEERLEADER.

       WE ONLY have the TIME WE HAVE so BE YOURSELF and ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE by BEING the BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE.

       

Every TIME you KEEP It on YOUR MIND....

      There are MANY REASONS that some things YOU NEED to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

     Because if you want PEACE OF MIND we have to take the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

    WHY would you CHOOSE to KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT over and over again?

     That MEMORY can BE FLUSHED MANY TIMES and then it can still POP UP AGAIN in your mind trying to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION.

     And AGAIN YOU NEED TO IMMEDIATELY JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind AGAIN AND AGAIN so it CAN'T HURT you AGAIN AND AGAIN.

     You WON'T FORGET about it but you CAN JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind EVERY TIME it tries to become FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

     WE All have had PROBLEMS during our LIFE'S JOURNEY but LUCKILY WE CAN ALL JUST FLUSH IT out of our mind and ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WE CAN.

     

     

ASK them so you will ACTUALLY KNOW

      We were STUCK waiting and we started ASKING EACH OTHER some SILLY THINGS just to OCCUPY the TIME. 

      And THEIR ANSWERS were definitely DIFFERENT then I THOUGHT they would SAY.

      First ASK YOURSELF what is THEIR favorite COLOR and then.... SEE if you KNOW THEIR favorite COLOR.

      Then ASK them what WAS their favorite thing they HAD DONE in THEIR LIFETIME.

      I can ALMOST GUARANTEE that you WON'T KNOW THAT ANSWER but it will be FUN TO LEARN.

     And at some POINT ASK them what is THEIR NEXT MEMORY were they FIXING TO DO SOON.

      Before you END YOUR DAY OUT with them you will definitely KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER.

       Before EVERYONE STARTED NON-STOP WATCHING THEIR PHONES.....WE USED TO TALK TO EACH OTHER.

      NOWADAYS you can BARELY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EACH OTHER no matter how long you are with them because you NEVER TALKED TO FIND OUT ANYTHING ABOUT EACH OTHER.

     PUT DOWN YOUR PHONES and SPEND TIME WITH EACH OTHER.

Did you just ASK me if I was HOT?

     I don't care WHERE YOU LIVE.....it is EXTREMELY HOT TODAY!

     Every SEASON IS FELT but TODAY, ACTUALLY FOR A WEEK, it's BREAKING RECORDS for BEING HOT!

     We were dealing with some MINOR ISSUES with our AIR CONDITIONER that we were LUCKILY AND THANKFULLY ABLE to FIX IT. 

     Could you IMAGINE having your AIR CONDITIONER STOP WORKING in the MIDDLE OF THESE HEAT WARNINGS?

     We have DECIDED to MAKE SURE we ALWAYS GET A YEARLY CLEANING ON OUR AIR CONDITIONER.

     SO that way WE will ALWAYS have an AIR CONDITIONER that is at least READY as it CAN BE for THE SUMMER HEAT WAVES.

     If you DON'T NEED TO GO OUT.... THEN DON'T..... because it TRULY IS TOO HOT TO BE OUT IN.

     And to the person that just ASKED ME if I was HOT.....YES I AM. 

The ONLY DIFFERENCE may just be......

      You have to THINK ABOUT whether it is something you SHOULD DO.... BEFORE YOU DO IT.

     Otherwise you just might REGRET DOING IT because..... ONCE YOU DO IT....then it IS Already DONE.

     Have you ever REMEMBERED SAYING to YOURSELF that you SHOULDN'T DO IT then..... you STUPIDLY DO IT?

     Your BUILT-IN WARNING SYSTEM is trying to WARN YOU NOT TO DO IT....but there are sometimes when you DON'T LISTEN TO THE WARNING.

     If you ONLY NEED A HALF of IT then DON'T FORCE YOURSELF to OVERDUE YOURSELF by WASTING YOUR TIME UNNECESSARILY WORKING HARDER than you ACTUALLY SHOULD.

     BEING HAPPY takes BEING HAPPY HAVING WHAT YOU NEED and having the TIME TO ENJOY IT.

     There WILL ALWAYS BE NEWER AND BRIGHTER THINGS but if YOU HAVE TO SPEND ALL YOUR TIME EARNING THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT then....

     You ARE TOO TIRED TO ENJOY ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE because YOU ARE NEVER HOME TO RELAX AND ENJOY IT AT ALL.

     The SIMPLE LIFE is ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE TO ENJOY ALL THE SIMPLE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE.

Would you DO IT AGAIN TODAY?

      When you are YOUNG you JUST DO IT without taking a SECOND to THINK about WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT.

      When you are YOUNG you LOOK for EXCITING THINGS TO DO without even THINKING about the POSSIBLE DANGERS it COULD cause you.

     Now that I am OLDER I CERTAINLY KNOW that there are MANY THINGS that I DID when I was YOUNGER that I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T DO IT TODAY.

      As I was THINKING about some of the SILLY THINGS that I DID BACK THEN I ASK MYSELF..... WOULD you DO THAT TODAY?

     When I SEE the YOUNGER ONES around ME getting ready to DO SOMETHING that I THINK THEY SHOULDN'T....I CAN'T HELP MYSELF from TELLING them WHY THEY SHOULDN'T DO IT.

      I KNOW I SHOULD JUST LET THEM HAVE FUN while they are YOUNG and THEY TOTALLY IGNORE MY ADVICE and DO IT ANYWAY but HONESTLY I JUST HAVE to at least WARN THEM. 

     When my body hurts I remember just WHEN I HURT myself when I was YOUNGER.

     And YES I was TOLD by some ELDERLY RELATIVES NOT TO DO IT ...but I DID IT and well.... that is WHY MY BODY HURTS STILL TODAY because I DIDN'T LISTEN.

      Now I am that ELDERLY PERSON JUST TRYING to SAVE the YOUNGER ONES from DOING STUFF they DEFINITELY WOULDN'T DO IF THEY WERE ASKED THAT QUESTION WHEN THEY ARE OLDER.

      

     

Just DECIDE WHAT is NECESSARY FIRST then....

    Making a LIST TOO LONG TO DO is ONLY SETTING YOURSELF UP for FAILURE because NO ONE COULD GET ALL of that amount of things done in a SINGLE DAY.

    START by writing what is MOST IMPORTANT FIRST at the TOP of WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IMMEDIATELY LIST.

    THEN JUST SCRIBBLE ALL YOU WANT as many things YOU HOPE YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET DONE ON YOUR.... A MAYBE ONE DAY YOU WILL LIST.

     DOING YOUR MOST IMPORTANT things FIRST IN THE MORNING will give you the OTHER 80% of YOUR DAY TO DO or.... DON'T DO ANY of YOUR MAYBE LIST.

     At the end of the day Whatever you DON'T GET DONE you can EITHER....  JUST FLUSH IT because you REALIZE IT ISN'T IMPORTANT or....

    YOU CAN THEN MAKE IT ONE OF YOUR NEEDS DONE IMMEDIATELY LIST NEXT TIME or....

     YOU can make it a GET IT DONE EVENTUALLY MAYBE LIST.

     But ALL DAY LONG YOU WILL BE THANKFUL that YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED DONE FIRST THING THIS MORNING.

     And AT THE END OF THE DAY as long as YOU DID WHAT WAS MOST IMPORTANT..... YOU WILL BE PROUD OF YOURSELF no matter how many things are still on your MAYBE LIST.

     

Their OPINION is DIFFERENT.....and YOUR OPINION is DIFFERENT....then be okay that we THINK DIFFERENTLY

      You can EACH SEE THE SAME THING yet EACH OF YOU CAN SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

      That DOESN'T MEAN that THEY DIDN'T SEE IT ...It just MEANS THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE what THEY SAW. 

      YOUR OPINION is based on WHAT YOU SEE and THEIR OPINION is based on WHAT THEY SEE.

     They may LOOK GOOD IN BLUE yet they DON'T LIKE THE COLOR BLUE.

      Now if they were MY FRIEND I would on a HOLIDAY BUY THEM A COOL BLUE SHIRT and HOPE THEY MIGHT TRY WEARING IT....and ACCEPT IT IF THEY WON'T.

     Some of my BEST FRIENDS were TOTALLY DIFFERENT then me but I sure LOVE HANGING OUT WITH THEM. 

     Many COUPLES MEET UP with PEOPLE who are TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THEM and they ENJOY LIFE TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY.

       Many WORKING GROUPS are GROUPS who are DIFFERENT because it TAKES A TEAM to DO IT.

      OUR UNIQUENESS is what MAKES US EACH UNIQUELY COOL.😎

      DON'T FORGET TO BE YOURSELF and LET THEM BE FREE to BE THEMSELVES and LET EVERYONE ENJOY BEING FREE.

     

      

     

It's best if you ACCEPT IT because IT IS WHAT IT IS...

     It's HARD TO FORGIVE someone when you REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT they ACTUALLY COULD HAVE DONE IT.

     Even though you DIDN'T EXPECT IT..... that doesn't change the FACT THAT THEY DID IT.

     When you MEET someone NEW you DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO they TRULY ARE.... but..... EVENTUALLY they will SHOW YOU WHO they TRULY ARE.

     A GOOD WEATHER FRIEND is only there to ENJOY THAT MOMENT then..... They RUN AWAY to FIND A NEW ADVENTURE with the NEXT FRIEND they MEET.

     An OLD FRIEND is HARD TO FIND but once you HAVE A GOOD FRIEND YOU NEED TO BE THANKFUL that you have a GOOD FRIEND.

     When you are YOUNGER you have TIME to MEET GOOD FRIENDS but when you get OLDER you will DEFINITELY TREASURE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MORE THAN EVER.

     DON'T let a FAIR WEATHER FRIEND come between YOU AND YOUR LIFETIME FRIENDS AND FAMILY.... Because it WON'T BE LONG before that FAIR WEATHER FRIEND Gets BORED AND MOVES ON.

     

Your MIND SET will make you WHO YOU ARE

     If you only LOOK for WHAT WENT WRONG then you will probably MISS OUT on WHAT WENT RIGHT TODAY.

     Your OBSERVATIONS will be WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS TRUE..... rather it is EVEN TRUE AT ALL.

    If in YOUR MIND it IS WHAT YOU THINK IT IS then you REALIZE JUST HOW IMPORTANT YOUR WAY OF THINKING really DECIDES YOUR REALITY.

    At the BEGINNING OF EACH DAY you NEED to PLAN on WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ACCOMLISHING TODAY.

      Because YOU NEED TO THINK POSITIVELY so you can HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE EVERY DAY.

     HOW YOU LOOK at it is WHAT YOU WILL SEE so.....THINK about EVERYTHING THAT IS POSITIVE THAT YOU CAN SEE.

    LIFE is full of LIFE that YOU CAN ENJOY..... It's just UP TO YOU TO SEE EVERYTHING AND ENJOY IT.🍄

     

     

     

     

BIGGER THINGS can bring on BIGGER PROBLEMS

      They might have a BIGGER HOUSE but that means they will also have MORE PROBLEMS throughout time than a SMALL HOUSE will eventually have.

     And they will also have a lot MORE HOUSE they will have TO CLEAN too.

      They might drive a EXPENSIVE CAR but they will also pay HIGHER INSURANCE for that EXPENSIVE CAR.

     They might be USED TO BUYING WHATEVER they want but they know DEEP DOWN that MONEY ALONE will not BUY THEM HAPPINESS.

      Your FRIENDS when you are BROKE are there because you are FRIENDS but a RICH PERSON has to WANDER if their FRIENDS are ONLY THERE because they are RICH.

     When you are RICH and FAMOUS you have PAPARAZZI waiting to TAKE YOUR PICTURE so you CAN'T GO ANYWHERE unless you are DRESSED UP FOR PICTURES on a magazine.

     When you are POOR you can go out COMFORTABLY ANYTIME because NO ONE CARES what you are WEARING.

     So BEING POOR has its ADVANTAGES as well as it's DISADVANTAGES just like BEING RICH also has some DISADVANTAGES as well as it's ADVANTAGES.

      EVERY LIFE whether you are RICH OR POOR has some GOOD DAYS and some BAD DAYS, that's JUST PART OF LIFE.🍄

How many TIMES have you had to say.... I wish I COULD but TODAY I am just NOT ABLE TO?

      When you have to WORK you really DON'T have enough ENERGY nor TIME to be able to do everything but you CAN ENJOY what YOU CAN DO.

      When you are FEELING not so HEALTHY you DO ONLY what you ABSOLUTELY NEED so you can REST and GET BETTER.

      When you are YOUNG and you are BROKE you have to THINK before you SPEND YOUR MONEY because you NEED YOUR MONEY.

      When you LIVE FAR AWAY from your FAMILY and your FRIENDS it makes it HARD TO BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY SEE them.

     You may NOT ALWAYS be able to DO IT just because AT ANY TIME there can be MANY REASONS WHY YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

     If you CAN then WHILE YOU CAN then YOU SHOULD..... because before you know it ONE DAY it  might NOT BE ABLE FOR YOU TO GET IT DONE.

      Which is WHY you CAN'T put EVERYTHING on your BUCKET LIST because CERTAIN THINGS have that just NEEDS TO BE DONE WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG.

      And REMEMBER that what you THINK WILL HAPPEN may NOT EVER HAPPEN so ENJOY YOUR LIFE while you are LIVING IT.

      We NEVER KNOW exactly WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN LIFE but we CAN ALWAYS ENJOY DOING THE BEST WE CAN with WHAT WE DO HAVE.

      We ONLY have the TIME WE HAVE so ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF THE TIME YOU HAVE.🍄

      

    

     

If it DOESN'T WORK then...

      If it is something that CAN BE FIXED then do whatever you have to do and JUST FIX IT.

      But if it is TOTALLY BROKEN then you should ACCEPT that It is BROKEN and THROW IT AWAY because it is BROKEN.

     Whether it is something PHYSICALLY or something EMOTIONALLY....If it is HURTFUL TO YOU then STOP and IMMEDIATELY GET RID OF IT.

     If it is SOMEONE or SOMETHING CAUSING YOU  CHAOS and STRESS then GET AWAY FROM IT so it CAN'T KEEP STRESSING YOU OUT ANYMORE.

     If you have TRIED MANY TIMES to FIX IT yet it still DOESN'T WORK then you can STOP TRYING and at least YOU CAN SAY that YOU TRIED IT but YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

     You may NOT ALWAYS REACH your PLAN in LIFE but as long as YOU DO THE BEST that YOU COULD... YOU WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.

      REMEMBER that even OUR MISTAKES are PART OF OUR PLAN to MAKE US WHO WE ARE... we just  DIDN'T KNOW that IT WAS A PART OF OUR PLAN.

      

     

 

Being OLDER you realize.....

     When you are YOUNG you don't EXPLORE being AWARE of anything NEGATIVE about TRYING NEW THINGS.

     When you get a DESIRE to go BE ADVENTUROUS you don't THINK about how CONDITIONALLY DANGEROUS it could POSSIBLY BE.

     When you are OLDER you REMEMBER a few moments throughout your life that you had HEARD of NEGATIVE INCIDENTS HAPPENING to people.

      Trying to say well out of the MILLIONS of TIMES people TRIED it something BAD did HAPPEN so THEREFORE you SHOULDN'T do it... sounds stupid.

     But when you get OLDER because you are OLDER.....YOU at least take a MOMENT to EXPRESS the POSSIBILITY so at least YOU TOLD them that it COULD POSSIBLY BE DANGEROUS.

     Then QUIETLY YOU REMEMBER some of the CRAZY THINGS YOU DID when YOU WERE YOUNG that YOU LUCKILY SURVIVED.

      EVERY STAGE OF LIFE is LIVED ONE STAGE AT A TIME and WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE if YOU WERE YOUNG is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from WHAT YOU WILL CHOOSE TO DO WHEN YOU ARE OLDER.

      

To KNOW what you have takes LOOKING at what you HAVE

      Just because you THINK it WILL....DOES NOT mean it WILL HAPPEN just because you THOUGHT it WOULD.

      The SOONER you ACCEPT that not everything TURNS OUT like you THOUGHT it WOULD..... the SOONER you will ACCEPT THINGS as they TRULY ARE.

     To GROW where you ARE takes being HONEST about what you ACTUALLY HAVE so YOU CAN GROW WHERE and HOW YOU CAN with WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO HAVE.

     PRETENDING you have MORE than you ACTUALLY have will NOT GIVE YOU what you WILL NEED to have WHAT YOU NEED.

     BEFORE YOU GET STARTED you have to at first STOP long enough to SEE WHERE YOU ARE and WHAT YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH so YOU CAN MAKE A PLAN OF ACTION.

     If YOU ARE NOT HONEST WITH YOURSELF.... YOU WILL REGRET IT.... eventually so.... STOP and be HONEST WITH YOURSELF.

      To KNOW WHAT YOU NEED.... you just got to LOOK FOR WHAT YOU HAVE so you KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO GET TO DO IT.

      If you Need to do it then.... figure out HOW to do it and then you can Just do it.

     

     

WHAT will you keep FRESH on your mind?

      If you WANT to FORGET ABOUT IT then.... STOP KEEPING IT FRESH on your mind so you CAN FORGET ABOUT IT.

     If you WANT to ALWAYS REMEMBER IT then.... you MUST ALWAYS REMIND YOURSELF about it so YOU CAN ALWAYS REMEMBER IT.

     Your THOUGHTS that you KEEP FRESH ON YOUR MIND are the REALITY that YOU WILL LIVE IN.

    WHO you CHOOSE to HANG AROUND WITH has a lot to DO WITH WHO YOU BECOME.

     If you WANT to SURROUND YOURSELF with people WHO ARE POSITIVE PEOPLE you will STAY IN A POSITIVE MOOD.

     If you CHOOSE to HANG AROUND with people WHO ARE NEGATIVE you WILL REMAIN IN A NEGATIVE MOOD.

     If you were going through something NEGATIVE WHO SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO HANG OUT WITH?

    WOULD THEY HELP YOU stay in a NEGATIVE ATTITUDE or WOULD THEY HELP YOU find something POSITIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT IT?

     YOUR CHOICE of WHO YOU CHOOSE TO HANG AROUND will DETERMINE whether you will END UP SATISFIED at the end or ANGRY at HOW things TURNED OUT in the end.

     It's NOT just WHAT YOU HAVE TO FACE that DETERMINES YOUR OUTCOME but HOW YOU REACT TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO FACE is what will DETERMINE YOUR OUTCOME.

     LIFE is full of TWISTS AND TURNS as well as UPS AND DOWNS but that's JUST LIFE and..... HOW YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE It is purely UP TO YOU.

      Which is WHY you need to CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY.... even if it means in the end that you just DON'T HAVE MANY FRIENDS because a TRUE POSITIVE FRIEND is HARD TO FIND.

      

Be GRATEFUL for WHAT YOU DO HAVE and ENJOY IT

       From a DISTANCE you MAY THINK that LIFE is WAY WORSE than it REALLY IS.

       Which is WHY you have to LOOK VERY CAREFULLY so that you can REALLY SEE IT.

      Through the CLOUDS you can SEE THE SUN yet you CAN'T SEE the SUN AT ALL yet.

      But as SOON as the CLOUDS MOVE you will NEED TO put on your SUNGLASSES.

      Not EVERYTHING will WORK OUT PERFECTLY but as long as IT WORKS you can be GLAD that it WORKED ENOUGH.

       You may be HOPING for ONE THING and yet STILL ENJOY what you GOT and be THANKFUL for what you DO HAVE.

      When you SEE IT then you LEARN how to APPRECIATE what YOU DO HAVE and then you will be FOREVER THANKFUL for WHAT YOU DO HAVE and ENJOY IT.

      When you are GRATEFUL you will REALIZE just HOW GRATEFUL YOU HONESTLY SHOULD BE.

     You will NEVER GET everything that you could ever dream of but..... That's JUST LIFE.... and LIFE is ENJOYING the LIFE you DO HAVE.

      

      

       

If you are OKAY then..... EVERYTHING ELSE is OKAY

      It may be RAINING outside and you could GET UNCOMFORTABLY WET but... luckily you are not like that WICKED WITCH on the movie that gets DROWNED by the WATER.

      You may easily get FRUSTRATED if you get a FLAT TIRE but.... at least you SHOULD BE GLAD that you DIDN'T just WRECK YOUR CAR.

      You WON'T ALWAYS BE THANKFUL for the STRUGGLES that you had to FACE during your LIFE'S JOURNEY.

     But you CAN ALWAYS BE THANKFUL that you LEARNED a lot from the STRUGGLES that you FACED.

     When TIMES GET TOUGH it MAKES SENSE that you will FEEL STRESSED for a MOMENT but then..... you have to LEARN from IT and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind to KEEP MOVING AHEAD AGAIN.

     It's like that sign that INSPIRED ME said...

It's OKAY to sit on your pity-potty every now and again just be sure and FLUSH when you are done.

      Life is LEARNED AS YOU GROW and you got to GROW WHEREVER YOU ARE PLANTED and when SHIT HAPPENS you got to JUST FLUSH IT to make ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN.

     PEACE OF MIND is JUST A FLUSH AWAY so.... JUST FLUSH IT and ENJOY YOUR LIFE while you are LIVING IT.

     

     

STAYING BUSY helps you be....

      Our minds have an ENDLESS STREAM of THOUGHTS that sometimes makes it hard to STAY BUSY so you can STAY FOCUSED on what is IMPORTANT.

     When a NEGATIVE THOUGHT tries to "GRAB YOUR ATTENTION" you have to get BUSY with POSITIVE THINGS to FORGET ABOUT IT.

     If you want to CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS then FILL YOUR LIFE with OTHER POSITIVE things TO DO to KEEP YOU BUSY THINKING about OTHER THINGS.

    When you start THINKING about what has happened that UPSETS YOU start THINKING about what has also happened that made you HAPPY TODAY.

    EVERY DAY there are GOOD THINGS as well as THINGS you wish you could have AVOIDED.

    What will you CHOOSE to REMEMBER ABOUT TODAY?

     If you DID something that you REGRET DOING then MAKE SURE that you NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

    If you DID something that you would LOVE TO DO again sometime then REMEMBER that and DO IT AGAIN ONE DAY.

      CHOOSE to REMEMBER that EVERY DAY is ANOTHER DAY and EVERY MOMENT is ANOTHER MOMENT that you CAN CHOOSE TO POSITIVELY ENJOY.

    WE ONLY have the TIME WE HAVE to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that WE HAVE.

    When you need to CHANGE YOUR WAY OF THINKING you will have to START THINKING DIFFERENTLY by STAYING BUSY DOING things to DISTRACT your way of THINKING.

You CAN'T move PAST IT until you at FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE it so YOU CAN.....

      You CAN'T FORGET IT until you ACCEPT IT so you can FORGET IT.

      You CAN'T FORGIVE IT until you KNOW WHAT you need to FORGIVE.

      PRETENDING that IT DIDN'T HAPPEN will ONLY KEEP IT from ALLOWING you to DEAL WITH IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

      Once you ACCEPT IT then you will have LEARNED FROM IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT and FORGET IT.

     Once you GROW AS YOU GO throughout your Life's JOURNEY you will LEARN TO GROW WHEREVER YOU ARE PLANTED.

     There will always be GOOD DAYS and BAD DAYS, that's JUST LIFE.

     But the SOONER you LEARN how to ACCEPT IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT the SOONER you will find PEACE OF MIND.

     If you want PEACE OF MIND.....You have to ACKNOWLEDGE IT and ADJUST then.....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

     

MAKING THE MOST out of WHAT YOU DO HAVE

      ALTHOUGH a yacht would be extremely nice to OWN... YOU can still LOVE YOUR SMALL BOAT.

      I would LOVE to eat at a OVERLY EXPENSIVE STEAKHOUSE once a week but.... I am at least glad WE go every couple of months.

      WE would love to OWN A NICE NEW HOME but... WE can at least be THANKFUL for OUR TINY OLD PAID OFF HOME WE do have.

     WE may wish WE had a NEW CAR but....WE should be THANKFUL that WE have a car to drive.

     YOU may not have EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT but... YOU should be very THANKFUL for WHAT YOU DO HAVE.

     LIFE is full of UPS AND DOWNS but... that's JUST LIFE and if YOU want to ENJOY LIFE you have to ENJOY whatever LIFE YOU HAVE.

     STOP LOOKING FOR EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT IN YOUR LIFE..... JUST ENJOY YOUR LIFE while YOU ARE LIVING IT. 🍄

YOUR THOUGHTS will DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE MOMENTS

       If you KEEP TELLING YOURSELF then YOU WILL START BELIEVE EVERYTHING that YOU SAY about YOURSELF.

      And if YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN then YOU KNOW that NO ONE ELSE will BELIEVE that YOU CAN DO IT EITHER.

      You may not ALWAYS be the SMARTEST PERSON in the room but you KNOW that you are SMART ENOUGH TO DO IT CORRECTLY.

      You don't have to be the FIRST ONE THERE to be able to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT of being there DOING IT.

      HOWEVER YOU DO IT... is HOW YOU WILL DO IT regardless of HOW OTHER PEOPLE DO IT.

      There are MANY SONG WRITERS that MAKE MANY GREAT NEW SONGS even though EVERY SONG IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

      There are MANY GREAT BOSSES that DO THINGS TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY that still MAKE WORKING for them a GREAT ADVANTAGE for you.

     You will NEVER BE ABLE to PLEASE EVERYONE but YOU can ALWAYS make sure that YOU PLEASE YOURSELF.

     The MINUTE YOU START BELIEVING IN YOURSELF is the MINUTE YOU WILL ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that you have.

     And since WE ALL ONLY HAVE THE TIME WE HAVE then MAKE SURE YOU DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOURSELF EVERY MOMENT OF THE TIME you DO HAVE.

     THINK POSITIVELY AND ENJOY YOUR POSITIVITY because YOU CAN.

      

      

    

But FIRST you have to KNOW WHERE you are now......

      If you want to GET DIRECTIONS you must FIRST FIGURE OUT where you are NOW.

     You have to START WHERE YOU ARE..... REGARDLESS of HOW you GOT THERE.... And JUST ACCEPT WHERE YOU ARE.

     Which also TAKES REMEMBERING HOW YOU GOT WHERE YOU ARE SO YOU CAN MAKE SURE you NEVER COME BACK THERE AGAIN.

     The ROAD that LOOKS MORE TRAVELED is USUALLY because EVERYONE that went THAT DIRECTION GOT LEAD TO NOWHERE so they had to TURN AROUND and GO BACK the way they came.

     REMEMBER....if you GET TRAPPED IN LIFE just TURN AROUND and GO BACK and CHOOSE A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

     LIFE IS FULL OF LESSONS and some EXPERIENCES end up as HAPPY LESSONS and some are SAD LESSIONS that YOU NEEDED so YOU COULD GROW.

     

SHOW THEM so THEY will KNOW

     If someone at a red light leaves a spot for you to be able to pull into traffic.... would you WAVE TO THANK THEM? 

     I KNOW I LIKE IT when someone I LET OUT takes a second and WAVES to me to say THANKS.

     So if someone SAVES you room please WAVE TO THANK THEM because that WAVE will MAKE THEM SMILE.

     Has someone ever HELD A DOOR OPEN for you at a STORE or a Post Office?

     I KNOW HOW PROUD I am when I see someone SMILE as my GROWN SON always HOLDS THE DOOR every chance someone is coming.

    He says HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN seems to ALWAYS MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY and that MADE HIM HAPPY.

     As we talked he said he also took NOTICE when someone WAVES whenever he SAVES THEM ROOM TO GET OUT.

    You can make a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE in SIMPLE WAYS just by MAKING PEOPLE SMILE FROM YOUR KINDNESS.

    Whether you are YOUNG or you are MIDDLE AGED OR EVEN OLD we can always be KIND to EVERYONE WE MEET.

    EVERY random act of KINDNESS will be a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE to ANYONE WHO RECEIVED IT.

    EVERY POSITIVE SEEDS WE PLANT is more POSITIVE SEEDS THAT WILL GROW.

    PEACE ON EARTH is possible by bringing PEACE OF MIND to ONE PERSON at a TIME.

    Time to Wear your JUST FLUSH IT shirts and hats to SPREAD the POSITIVE MESSAGE behind JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND can SPREAD.

    A SMILE says PEACE in ANY LANGUAGE.

     

     

     

     

     

What you do when YOU ARE YOUNG V.S. what you DO WHEN YOU ARE OLD

      Do you PRINT OUT your PICTURES and STORE THEM IN PHOTO ALBUMS?

     If you are OLD you probably have lots of OLD PHOTO ALBUMS but..... you RARELY LOOK at them.

      UNFORTUNATELY the YOUNGER you are the PHOTOS ON YOUR PHONE can get LOST FOREVER IN CYBERSPACE.

      When I was recently going through an OLD PHOTO ALBUM I was SHOCKED to see the TYPE OF CLOTHES we were all wearing.

     I DEFINITELY DON'T REMEMBER me ever wearing those WAY TOO SHORT SHORTS....but THERE I AM in SHORTS that are SO SHORT I am EMBARRASSED.

      If I HAD NOT SAW MYSELF in those OLD PHOTOS I would have NEVER BELIEVED I WOULD DRESS LIKE THAT.....but I OBVIOUSLY DID.

     Just because you DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING.... REMEMBER....a PICTURE IS DEFINITELY PROOF.

      You might be OLD NOW but there was a TIME WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG TOO.

      KIDS do things that YOUNG KIDS DO then.... THEY GROW UP AND DO GROWN UP THINGS. 

     

BELIEVE in YOURSELF

     There is always MORE than ONE WAY to SEE IT but.... HOW YOU SEE IT will determine WHAT YOU WILL be able to SEE 

     If YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT then.... YOU JUST WON'T EVER SEE IT.

     If YOU CONSTANTLY SAY YOU CAN'T then.... YOU WON'T..... because YOU WILL NEVER TRY TO DO IT.

     When you do make a MISTAKE then.... LEARN FROM IT then YOU CAN DO IT because YOU LEARNED HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY.

     STOP EXPECTING to ALWAYS KNOW EVERYTHING just EXCEPT that you will be able to LEARN AS YOU GO through your LIFE'S JOURNEY.

    YOU DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE'S APPROVAL...ALL YOU NEED IS TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

    Your LIFE is based on WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN.... SO THINK POSITIVELY so YOU CAN BE A POSITIVE PERSON.

    WE all ONLY HAVE the TIME WE HAVE to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WE HAVE.

     

ENJOYING LIFE means.... doing what YOU WANT TO DO

      You don't have to do it unless you WANT TO DO IT..... despite what OTHERS around you are thinking about it.

     You can CHOOSE and therefore DECIDE by DOING what you CHOOSE TO DO and let THEM CHOOSE what they WANT TO DO.

     ENJOY Going out to a restaurant together that has both regular food as well as vegetarian foods so EVERYONE can ENJOY EATING together what EACH of you like. 

     Some PEOPLE CHOOSE to wear clothes that are COMFORTABLE to them regardless of whether you WOULD WEAR IT or NOT....you CHOOSE what YOU WILL WEAR.

     STOP JUDGING what OTHER PEOPLE DO and let THEM DO what THEY WANT TO DO and YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

     TEN PEOPLE could SEE the same thing yet SEE TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS... because HOW YOU LOOK AT IT will DETERMINE WHAT YOU WILL SEE.

      Our UNIQUENESS is what makes us ALL UNIQUELY DIFFERENT and what we EACH like is also UNIQUELY DIFFERENT....so....

     YOU DO YOU and let THEM be THEM and then WE ALL can ENJOY BEING OURSELVES.

     Your BEST FRIEND can be TOTALLY DIFFERENT than YOU but still be YOUR BEST FRIEND EVER.

      YOU CAN'T ALWAYS PLEASE EVERYONE but YOU CAN DEFINITELY ALWAYS PLEASE YOURSELF.

     

Sometimes PEACEFUL is just LESS STRESSFUL

      In LIFE YOU have to LEARN to be HAPPY even though everything in your LIFE isn't always TOTALLY HAPPY.

     When you WAKE UP in the morning you can DEFINITELY be PROUD that you WOKE UP.

      Although you are on a HEALTHY DIET you can still ENJOY some TASTEFUL alternatives.

      You may not always get EVERYTHING that you EVER WANTED but you can be very GRATEFUL that you at least have EVERYTHING that you NEED.

     A FLOWER only shows it's BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS for a SHORT TIME so STOP..... and SMELL the FLOWERS while they are BLOOMING.

     A RAINFALL may keep you from getting things done for a few moments but you KNOW we NEED the RAIN.

     Like the plaque on my wall says......

So this isn't HOME SWEET HOME just ADJUST.

     YOU must REALIZE that there will always be GOOD DAYS AND ALSO BAD DAYS.... that's JUST LIFE.

     So LEARN HOW to take all the NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so it CAN'T HOLD YOU DOWN.

      Remember that Shit HAPPENS throughout your LIFE so JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

If you WANT to REMEMBER IT then....

      As you are DISCUSSING how your day went..... WHAT PARTS of your DAY will you TELL THEM?

     Are you going to be TALKING about the GOOD PARTS about TODAY or are you going to TALK about the BAD PARTS about your DAY TODAY?

      If you SPEND all of your TIME TODAY LOOKING for ANYTHING that was NEGATIVE TODAY you will DEFINITELY FIND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS about TODAY.

     LIKE the TRAFFIC May have been STRESSFUL TODAY but STRESSFUL or NOT you can ARRIVE LATE and STILL be GLAD YOU ARRIVED safely.

     If you WANT to REMEMBER the GOOD PARTS of TODAY you will HAVE TO JUST STOP and ENJOY the GOOD PARTS OF TODAY.

    And REMEMBER that EVERY DAY has GOOD PARTS as well as BAD PARTS, that's JUST LIFE.

     You have to LEARN HOW to take all the NEGATIVE THINGS that happened and ACCEPT IT then.... JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

    Because if you want PEACE OF MIND you will have to take ALL the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

   If you want to SPREAD the POSITIVE message behind JUST FLUSH IT you can help me bring PEACE OF MIND to ONE PERSON at a TIME.

      

     

     

     

A GIANT THING may NEVER HAPPEN so.....

    Are you really WAITING for something extremely Big to happen?

    We all HOPE for something extremely BIG but.... unfortunately there are NOT MANY BIG THINGS that really happen very often if they even Happen  at all.

     In LIFE it is the IMPORTANT LITTLE THINGS that really happen all throughout your LIFE.

    UNFORTUNATELY if you IGNORE all the LITTLE THINGS you might IGNORE the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS in YOUR LIFE.

     You might not ACTUALLY FLY A PLANE like you had DREAMED but you can sure ENJOY TRAVELING to many places.

    You might not be a FAMOUS ARTIST but you can still ENJOY DOING ARTFUL THINGS.

     You might not be the SMARTEST PERSON but you are SMART enough to KNOW what MAKES YOU HAPPY.

    And if it MAKES YOU HAPPY then DO IT so you can be HAPPY.

     If you SPEND all your time trying to PLEASE OTHERS you will realize that YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY.

     Because the TRUTH is that if you KEEP CHANGING to please others.... you will NEVER GET TO BE YOUR HONEST SELF.

      WE all only have the TIME WE HAVE so MAKE SURE YOU ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE.

      At the END OF THE DAY all that matters is that you are PROUD OF EVERYTHING that you have CHOSEN TO DO.

       It's your Life..... so always CHOOSE WISELY what is actually the MOST IMPORTANT thing for YOU TO DO.

       

      

BEGIN by.... LEARNING so you can MAKE A LIST

      If you EXPECT to PAINT IT..... then you must MAKE A LIST of EVERYTHING that you will NEED TO BE ABLE TO PAINT IT.

    If you FORGET to BUY SOME PAINTERS TAPE then you may have to WORK HARDER to keep a STRAIGHT LINE.

   If you don't BUY the RIGHT PAINT BRUSH you might find it HARDER to get the CORNERS done.

    BEFORE you START ANY PROJECT you NEED TO MAKE A LIST of EVERYTHING you WILL NEED to GET IT DONE.

    If you KNOW that YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.....then ASK SOMEONE WHO DOES KNOW.

   How many times have you IGNORED THE INSTRUCTIONS and TRIED to just put it TOGETHER?

    ONLY to later EVENTUALLY REALIZE that YOU WILL have to GET THE INSTRUCTIONS out because YOU DIDN'T DO IT CORRECTLY.

    MAKING A POSITIVE PLAN means that YOU WILL take the TIME to LEARN EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW to MAKE A LIST of EVERYTHING that you will NEED to DO IT.

     Every RECIPE has SPECIFIC INGREDIENTS and if you want to MAKE that RECIPE.... then you will NEED the LIST of INGREDIENTS.

     No one is BORN KNOWING EVERYTHING.....WE ALL have to LEARN AS WE GO.

    

Not EVERYTHING means THE SAME to EVERYONE

      You may NOT LIKE IT but that DOESN'T MEAN that there are NOT MANY PEOPLE WHO DO LIKE IT.

      When you say IT WAS REALLY SPICY tasting it DOESN'T MEAN that people who LOVE SPICY FOOD would EVEN CONSIDER IT TO BE SPICY AT ALL.

     YOUR DECISIONS are based on what YOU LIKE just like THEIR DECISIONS are based on what THEY LIKE.

     If you EXPECT to have a RIGHT TO THINK YOUR OWN WAY it is ONLY POSSIBLE if you RESPECT the way OTHER PEOPLE CHOOSE TO THINK.

     I may NOT AGREE with EVERYTHING that STRANGERS NOR EVEN MY OWN FAMILY AND FRIENDS THINK but...

    ... that DOESN'T MEAN that WE ALL can't JUST ENJOY OUR LIVES TOGETHER..... DESPITE all of OUR DIFFERENCES.

     NEXT TIME you see a CERTAIN SUBJECT that is CAUSING THINGS to become FRUSTRATING.... JUST FLUSH IT.... and CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

     We DON'T HAVE TO AGREE to AGREE....WE JUST  HAVE TO....JUST FLUSH IT and DISAGREE TO DISAGREE PEACEFULLY.

     

     

MAKE A DECISION then ... STICK TO IT

      If you want them to KNOW THAT YOU MEAN IT then.... DON'T SAY IT UNLESS YOU MEAN IT.

     If you KNOW that CERTAIN FOODS UPSET YOUR STOMACH then..... DON'T EAT IT or you will have an UPSET STOMACH.

     If you KNOW that YOU SHOULDN'T then.... Make sure YOU DON'T DO IT.

     REMEMBER that just because OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING IT definitely DOESN'T MEAN that it is the RIGHT THING FOR YOU TO DO.

      YOUR Life is based on what YOU DO not based on what OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING.

      If THINGS NEED TO CHANGE then ...DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY so THINGS CAN CHANGE.

     If it is SOMETHING that YOU ARE AGAINST then.... MAKE SURE that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS YOU WILL NEVER DO IT.

     YOUR LIFE is FULL OF CHOICES and EVERY CHOICE YOU MAKE MATTERS.

ASK YOURSELF and BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF

     You may have a LOT OF LOVE IN YOUR HEART but ASK YOURSELF if anyone else FEELS YOUR LOVE.

     You may KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER but it WON'T HELP ANYONE if you NEVER TELL THEM THE ANSWER AT ALL.

    You may KNOW but....  WILL YOU ADMIT THAT YOU KNOW IT?

    If you KNOW THAT YOU SHOULDN'T then make sure that YOU DON'T or you will DEFINITELY REGRET DOING IT.

    THROUGHOUT LIFE you can LIE TO OTHERS during certain circumstances but if YOU EVER LIE TO YOURSELF then YOU DEFINITELY WILL HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS.

    If you want to KNOW then ASK YOURSELF and NO MATTER WHAT THE ANSWER IS JUST BE HONEST so EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT.

   HONESTY is the ONLY WAY to ALWAYS STAY HONEST.

Trying to SHARE can be SHAMEFULLY IGNORED

      You may want to SHARE some GOOD ADVICE but UNFORTUNATELY that DOESN'T MEAN it WILL BE HEARD.

     You want to PREVENT them from FUMBLING but UNFORTUNATELY they may still FUMBLE AS THEY FALL.

     You want to SAVE them from FRUSTRATION but they can be TOTALLY FRUSTRATED as they STRUGGLE THROUGH IT.

     Sometimes the STRUGGLES they FACE may be PART OF THEIR GROWING PAINS to be the BEST PERSON they can be.

     UNFORTUNATELY LIFE IS A ROLLERCOASTER of EVENTS and sometimes those EXPERIENCES CAN BE PAINFUL yet TOTALLY NECESSARY to LEARN AS YOU GO.

     

     

You can SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES but that DOESN'T MEAN anyone will truly hear

      I REMEMBER when I was a YOUNG CHILD I saw them WARNING ME but I was NOT REALLY LISTENING to them.

    When you are YOUNG you have NO FEAR you just have TOTAL EXCITEMENT about everything that LIFE HAS TO OFFER.

    When I would FUMBLE on a RECENT ADVENTURE I would just LOOK FOR A NEW ADVENTURE that I can ENJOY DOING.

    BUT..... when you are OLDER and you want to SAVE SOMEONE YOU LOVE from FUMBLES you SEE THAT JUST LIKE YOURSELF at a YOUNG AGE.... they just DON'T LISTEN.

      You CANT PREVENT them from FUMBLING but you SURE CAN be there to HOLD THEM after they FUMBLE THROUGH THEIR LIVES.

     They DON'T WANT TO HEAR I told you NOT TO DO IT they just want you to HUG THEM and TELL THEM EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

You are UNIQUE and everything that YOU Do is because YOU LIKE IT.....

      How things WORK for OTHERS has NOTHING TO DO with HOW IT will WORK for YOU.

      Because what WORKS for SOMEONE ELSE just MAY NOT WORK for YOU because we are ALL UNIQUELY DIFFERENT.

      What is IMPORTANT TO YOU may NOT be what is IMPORTANT TO THEM because we are all UNIQUE.

     Some PEOPLE like SPICY FOOD yet YOU PERSONALLY can HATE SPICY FOOD but still ENJOY going out to dinner together.

    I had been AVOIDING SWEETS but everywhere I went they SOLD SWEETS..... I JUST had to LEARN TO QUIT ORDERING anything SWEET.

     If it is IMPORTANT TO YOU.....THEN..... THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO DO.

    

Getting HAPPY means BEING HAPPY with YOURSELF

      You don't have to be a ROCK STAR to ENJOY SINGING....so SING and you will be able to ENJOY SINGING.

     You may not be a FAMOUS ARTIST but you sure are GOOD at MAKING things that are ARTFUL THINGS.

      Even though you may not be the WINNER.... you can still be PROUD of everything that you have done.

      If you SPEND every MOMENT you can ENJOYING every MOMENT that you can then you will be as HAPPY as YOU CAN BE.

      Your NEW DINNER may not LOOK like it does on the picture but you can be THANKFUL for COOKING an awesome TASTING DINNER BY YOURSELF.

      You may NOT DO IT EXACTLY as you had HOPED.... but you can sure BE PROUD of EVERYTHING that it took for you to DO IT.

      SELF ESTEEM is made by BEING PROUD OF YOURSELF.

Don't just Wait for it just ENJOY IT whenever you can ENJOY IT

     WE must be HONEST that Not EVERYTHING that WE WISH for ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

     But WE can STILL ENJOY EVERYTHING that DOES HAPPEN TO US.

     Not EVERYTHING that WE EARNED will WE GET TO ENJOY EVEN AFTER EARNING IT.

     But WE can STILL ENJOY the HARD WORK that WE PERSONALLY EARNED no matter WHAT HAPPENS.

     Not EVERYTHING that WE DO WILL ALWAYS BE NOTICED but that DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

     As long as WE DO YOUR BEST then WE can HONESTLY SAY that WE DID THE BEST that WE COULD DO.

    And that is an AWESOME FEELING REGARDLESS of HOW THINGS ACTUALLY TURN OUT at the end of the day.

CHOOSE which THOUGHT will BRING YOU the BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME

      How YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING will DETERMINE WHAT YOU WILL THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL SEE.

     If you LOOK for the NEGATIVE SIDE then you will SEE the NEGATIVE SIDE.

     If you LOOK for the POSITIVE SIDE then you will SEE the POSITIVE SIDES.

     Things may not always be EXACTLY like YOU HAD PLANNED but as long as you SEE the POSITIVE SIDES then you will be POSITIVE.

     If a NEGATIVE THOUGHT tries to GRAB YOUR ATTENTION.... make sure you JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.... so you can wait for the NEXT POSITIVE THOUGHT that comes along to THINK ABOUT.

     OUR MINDS have an ENDLESS STREAM of THOUGHTS that try to GRAB OUR ATTENTION but it is UP TO US TO CHOOSE THE POSITIVE ONES to THINK ABOUT.

    YOUR THOUGHTS are the REALITY that YOU WILL LIVE IN.... So CHOOSE WISELY.

JUST ACCEPT IT so you can MOVE FORWARD

      If you SPEND YEARS WORRYING then you will have WASTED YEARS of your time WORRYING ABOUT NOTHING at all.

     But IF IT DOES HAPPEN then you have to ACCEPT IT so you can FORGET ABOUT IT and GET MOVING AGAIN.

     What happened YESTERDAY has ALREADY HAPPENED and what is DONE IS DONE.

     And SINCE TOMORROW may NEVER COME TODAY is YOUR DAY to ENJOY WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

     UNTIL you LEARN TO MOVE PAST YOUR PAST IT then it can HOLD ON LIKE SANDBAGS making EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE HARDER to do.

     As YOU GET OLDER you BEGIN TO REALIZE that YOU WASTED a lot of TIME WORRYING about many things that in the END you ACTUALLY REALIZED it was a WASTE OF YOUR TIME.

      SO...... THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE remember to ACCEPT WHAT HAS HAPPENED and JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR MIND so you will have ROOM FOR PEACE OF MIND to GET IN.

    

     

     

What YOU Say is important to YOUR OPINIONS

      You have to be CAREFUL to be POSITIVE in your WAY OF THINKING because WHAT YOU THINK has a lot to do with WHO YOU TURN INTO.

      If you KEEP REMINDING yourself that IT'S TOO HARD then you MAY NEVER TRY IT because it is IN YOUR OPINION is TOO HARD.

      You may NOT LIKE HEIGHTS but if WHAT YOU NEED takes GOING UP HIGH then REMIND YOURSELF that you can CLIMB UP to get it.

     You may have to CONVINCE YOURSELF that YOU CAN DO IT so YOU WILL BE ABLE to DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO in order to GET 'R DONE.

     WHO YOU CHOOSE TO SURROUND YOURSELF with will be the PEOPLE that INSPIRES YOU to EITHER DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO or they will INSPIRE YOU to DO NOTHING.

     If you WANT TO BE INSPIRED then make sure YOU HANG OUT with people WHO YOU ARE INSPIRED BY.

     If you want to SUCCEED then YOU WILL HAVE TO STAY INSPIRATIONAL no matter what CIRCUMSTANCES THAT YOU MUST FACE IN YOUR LIFE.

    

Will YOU RECOMMEND IT?

     If it something that you HATED DOING then DON'T TELL ANYONE that YOU LOVED DOING IT.

     After you LEARNED IT from YOUR MISTAKES then just don't ever FORGET TO DO IT correctly.

     If YOU FIGURE IT OUT then at least be THANKFUL that YOU FIGURED IT OUT.

     If YOU DON'T KNOW the ANSWERS then DON'T PRETEND that YOU DO because YOU DON'T KNOW.

     Don't TELL THEM anything but the TRUTH then YOU WILL always be glad that YOU TOLD THEM YOUR HONEST OPINION.

     LEARNING WHAT YOU NEED TO is the only way to LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW so YOU CAN DECIDE TO DO IT CORRECTLY.

     If YOU DON'T KNOW then tell them that YOU JUST DON'T KNOW so they can ASK SOMEONE ELSE.

     An HONEST NO does far less DAMAGE then a DISHONEST LIE that WASN'T TRUE AT ALL.

Following.... I will do it because I SAID I WOULD

     If you SAY YOU WILL then.... YOU SHOULD DO EVERYTHING that YOU CAN to DO IT.

     If you SAY I WILL BE THERE then make sure YOU GET THERE ON TIME.

    If you PROMISE to DO IT then ..... JUST DO IT because you SAID YOU WOULD DO IT.

    I knew that even if I COULDN'T DO IT..... AS LONG AS I TRIED then I WOULD ALWAYS BE GLAD that I AT LEAST TRIED.

    I FELT TIRED but as soon as I GOT UP and DID IT..... I FELT PROUD that I GOT UP AND DID IT so..... NOW I KNOW THAT IT IS DONE.

    As LONG as YOU REMIND YOURSELF THAT IT NEEDS DONE.... THE EASIER IT IS for you to JUST DO IT so you can JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind as soon as YOU GET IT DONE.

    If you want PEACE OF MIND.... you will have to JUST FLUSH IT to make ROOM for IT to GET IN.

    

Looking FORWARD to it MAKES it something YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD to

        It may be SILLY but if it MAKES YOU HAPPY then.... JUST DO IT and ENJOY BEING SILLY.

        CRAFTS may SOUND BORING but when you are doing it..... IT MAKES YOU HAPPY...so KEEP DOING IT.

        It was A LOT of WORK to CREATE a NEW RECIPE but it was FUN CREATING IT and it tastes great so IT WAS WORTH THE WORK.

       After MAKING A DECISION you may REALIZE that you MADE THE WRONG DECISION but...... you DID IT and YOU KNOW YOU NEVER want to DO IT EVER AGAIN.

        As I was LOOKING at some of the STRANGE THINGS that I have done over my LIFETIME I REALIZED that more than HALF THE TIME I DID SOME STRANGE THINGS.

       LIFE is full of CHALLENGES AND TASK we all MUST MAKE and there will be MANY THINGS WE REALIZE that ONCE WAS CERTAINLY ENOUGH.

       LIFE is LIFE and we ALL DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT but we ALSO REALIZE that MISTAKES ARE ALSO JUST A PART OF LIFE.

      DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT and DEAL with the POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE parts of EVERYTHING WE CHOOSE TO DO.

      

If THEY DON'T KNOW YOU by NOW.....then THEY NEVER WILL EVER KNOW YOU

      Have you ever WANDERED if you COULD CHANGE someone's PERSONAL OPINION OF YOU that YOU HAD KNOWN FOR YEARS?

     If THEY DON'T RESPECT YOU by NOW then you have to EXPECT that THEY WILL NEVER RESPECT YOU no matter what you do at anytime.

     You may THINK THAT YOU HAD EARNED IT yet in THEIR OPINION you SUDDENLY REALIZE YOU HADN'T EARNED ANYTHING AT ALL FROM THEM.

     If you were HONEST and RESPECTFUL TO THEM then and IN THE END you REALIZED that THEY HAD NO RESPECT FOR YOU then..... ACCEPT that THEY WILL NEVER RESPECT YOU.

     That DOESN'T MEAN that YOU DIDN'T EARN IT....It just means that YOU DID IT but.... IT WASN'T NOTICED BY THEM. 

      It's always NICE to BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY OTHERS but..... SOMETIMES YOU MAY BE THE ONLY ONE TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOURSELF for WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

       YOU KNOW that YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE but YOU DO  KNOW what YOU DID and THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

       As long as YOU DID YOUR BEST then BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
