You might be BROKE but you can FIND FREE FUN and HAVE FUN

      We all are facing overwhelming prices on everything that we need.

       But unfortunately throughout your LIFE'S JOURNEY there will be times when for a short time prices get higher and times are CHAOTIC.

      Doing what IS RIGHT means even when it is a time of STRUGGLES we DIG DEEP to GET THROUGHT IT with HONESTY. 

      DON'T do ANYTHING when TIMES ARE TOUGH to get through it that YOU SHOULDN'T DO or YOU WILL REGRET IT after the TROUBLES GO AWAY.

      Because eventually the STRUGGLES WILL END and YOU WANT TO BE PROUD about HOW YOU HANDLED IT.

      The other day it was a CHALLENGING DAY but at the END OF THE DAY I was PROUD of HOW I DEALT with the CHALLENGES I FACED.

      People get FRUSTRATED when they ARE BROKE so they can't SPEND MONEY but there are MANY WAYS to HAVE FUN FOR FREE.

     Even just going to a store you can have FUN LOOKING at things FOR FREE.

     You can go to a PARK or go to a FOREST FOR FREE and ENJOY NATURE and BREATHE IN FRESH AIR FOR FREE.

     You can SPEND TIME with your family or friends and ENJOY IT TOTALLY FOR FREE.

     When TIMES ARE TOUGH just STAY STRONG and DO WHAT IS RIGHT because when THINGS GET BETTER YOU WILL BE PROUD of HOW YOU HANDLED IT....and ENJOY the CONSEQUENCES  because of HOW YOU HANDLED IT.

It's UP TO YOU if you can JUST FLUSH IT or NOT... CAN YOU?

      Your brain KNOWS WHAT YOUR MIND TELLS IT.

      You DON'T have a FEELING without A THOUGHT that MAKES YOU FEEL IT in YOUR BRAIN.

       Until you HEAR IT your BRAIN will NEVER KNOW ABOUT IT  but the MINUTE YOUR THOUGHTS TELL THE BRAIN then YOU KNOW.

      You can be having a GREAT TIME then later YOU HEAR about something NEGATIVE that happened and INSTANTLY IT IS a HORRIBLE DAY. 

       But it is UP TO YOU to THINK OF A POSITIVE THOUGHT so you can take the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT so the POSITIVE THOUGHT can MAKE YOU SMILE.

     YOUR THOUGHTS are UP TO YOU so when you are FEELING STRESSED ask yourself WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

      AFTER I COMPLAIN about WHAT NEGATIVE THING happened TODAY I TELL MYSELF about TWO POSITIVE THINGS that happened TODAY.

      Because I WANT to take the NEGATIVITY AWAY so I can HAVE A POSITIVELY HAPPY THOUGHT about MY DAY.

     IT'S UP TO YOU so can you JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND has ROOM to GET IN?

     

    

     

     

PAYING ATTENTION means THINKING BEFORE YOU DECIDE

       Of course wherever you go you should ALWAYS RESPECT their RULES so things will remain RESPECTFUL to everyone there.

      But YOU MUST ALSO ALWAYS RESPECT YOUR BOUNDARIES so you will ALWAYS FEEL RESPECTED.

       When you are MAKING PLANS you have to PAY ATTENTION to WHAT IS EXPECTED of you and if YOU DON'T LIKE what is EXPECTED then DON'T GO.

      The only way to BE COMFORTABLE in YOUR OWN SKIN is to BE COMFORTABLE with WHAT YOU DO in the SKIN YOU ARE IN.

      YOUR CHOICES are YOUR CHOICES so BEFORE YOU DECIDE just STOP and THINK about WHAT YOUR ACTIONS will bring.

       Having FUN is FUN as long as what YOU DO FOR FUN won't CAUSE YOUR MIND to SCREAM to REMIND YOU that YOU WILL REGRET IT if YOU DO IT.

      Having FUN is great MEMORIES YOU WILL REMEMBER but there are many things that SOUND FUN but YOU KNOW that YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DO IT.

       So if YOU KNOW THEN DON'T so YOU can at least AVOID WHATEVER TERRIBLE MEMORIES it WOULD HAVE CAUSED YOU.

       Life is FULL OF CHOICES and as long as YOU THINK BEFORE YOU CHOOSE then YOU WILL DO THE BEST YOU COULD POSSIBLY DO. 

       UNFORTUNATELY sometimes we make the WRONG DECISION but OUR MISTAKES are HONEST MISTAKES that WE LEARN FROM with NO REGRETS because we did what WE THOUGHT was BEST FOR US.

      

When you need a reason to find a MOMENT OF PEACE then.....

      We are surrounded by so many NOISES that we get DISTRACTED from OUR THOUGHTS because with all the NOISES we GET DISTRACTED.

      WE all need to FIND A WAY to BLOCK OUT all the NOISES so we can THINK CLEARLY about what is IMPORTANT in OUR LIFE. 

      I have been watching a lot of old informational shows like my Dad used to watch. 

     It made me wander if just like me he was tired of all THE NOISES in life and on the television and just wanted to RELAX for a MOMENT AND have PEACE.

     He didn't have all the SOCIAL MEDIA NOISES but if he did I think that too would be WHY watching informative entertainment was RELAXING as you LEARN because YOU WANT TO TIME.

     When you get OVERWHELMED with TOO MUCH NOISE in your life you NEED to STOP and FIND a QUIET PLACE IN YOUR MIND by BLOCKING THE NOISE.

     Even if your still STUCK in the SAME PLACE as that VERY NOISE you are trying to escape from just remember the LOUDEST VOICE GETS HEARD so TALK to YOURSELF LOUDLY. 

     There isn't ANYONE BUT YOU that CAN IGNORE EVERYONE and DO WHATEVER IS BEST FOR YOU no matter HOW NOISE it is you CAN FIND A QUIET MOMENT TO BREATHE. 

      JUST RELAX AND BREATHE as you take THE NOISE and JUST FLUSH IT and enjoy YOUR PEACE. ✌️

     

      

It is up to you so CHOOSE what is BEST FOR YOU

      Have you ever WANTED TO yet you kept walking away WITHOUT TRYING TO?

     Have you been THINKING about DOING IT yet you CHOOSE to NOT DO IT?

     Have you ever THOUGHT about singing but you NEVER SANG so you have no idea if you are a GOOD SINGER?

     Have you WANTED to HANG OUT with your friends but you NEVER CHOSE to spend time to HANG OUT with them?

      We are all BUSY but we also always have a few moments we COULD DO IT if WE CHOSE TO.

      YOUR CHOICES are YOUR CHOICES and if YOU WANT IT then it is UP TO YOU to FIND TIME TO DO IT.

     I KNEW I had a lot to do but anytime I could SPEND TIME with any of my GRANDKIDS it was more important so everything else could get DONE LATER.

     OUR CHOICES are sometimes LIMITED but WE STILL have CHOICES we CAN MAKE.

     YOU CAN'T have everything but YOU DO HAVE enough to ENJOY WHAT IS IMPORTANT to you so if it is IMPORTANT than make it IMPORTANT TO DO.

Not ONE TOOL can FIX EVERYTHING

      If you want to hang up a painting what TOOL do you need?

      Well I would LOOK for a HAMMER but if I CAN'T FIND ONE I will LOOK for something that is STRONG enough to BANG a nail in the wall.

     You could get SO MAD if you CAN'T FIND the HAMMER that you GET ANGRY and let it CAUSE you to FORGET about hanging the painting. 

     On your LIFE'S JOURNEY there will be many times when you CAN'T FIND the RIGHT TOOL but DON'T GIVE UP.

     Whether you PHYSICALLY or MENTALLY CAN'T FIND the RIGHT TOOL take TIME to FIND ANOTHER TOOL that COULD HELP.

      If it is UP TO YOU to FIND A TOOL so that you WILL GET IT DONE then LOOK in YOUR TOOLBOX.

     Sometimes you need more than a TOOLBOX FULL OF TOOLS to fix stuff PHYSICALLY you will need a TOOLBOX for your MENTAL HEALTH as well.

     When I was ANGRY I got out the new book I had bought to let it HELP ME FORGET about what ANGERED ME.

      But I was SHOCKED that I was so ANGRY that I COULDN'T use that as the RIGHT TOOL because I COULDN'T HEAR the WORDS because I KEPT THINKING about what had ANGERED ME.

      So I put the new book away and DECIDED to go FIND ANOTHER TOOL to TAKE AWAY MY ANGER.

      STOP EXPECTING every TOOL to WORK just DIG IN YOUR TOOLBOX and before you KNOW IT you will FIND a TOOL that WILL WORK.

     JUST KEEP DIGGING in YOUR TOOLBOX that YOU HAVE CONSTANTLY FILLED over your LIFETIME.

     Sometimes GARDENING can be a GOOD TOOL for your MENTAL STRESS and your PHYSICAL FITNESS.

     Because as you WATER IT DAILY you will ENJOY WATCHING IT GROW DAILY and EXERCISE TOO.

     And I also made sure I FILLED MYSELF A TOOLBOX with MANY TYPES OF TOOLS I might need especially a HAMMER.

     If you MENTALLY NEED DISTRACTED you have to ENJOY doing DIFFERENT THINGS until YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS.

     When reading the new book DIDN'T WORK I then DECIDED to NEXT TRY LOOKING AT AMAZON for CHRISTMAS PRESENTS for my grandkids.

      And that MADE ME SMILE then before I knew it I FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE but HOW HAPPY my grandkids would be when they opened it.

    As LONG AS YOU KEEP LOOKING before YOU KNOW IT then YOU WILL FIND the TOOL in your TOOLBOX that YOU NEED.

     

     

LETTING GO takes you to JUST FLUSH IT so you can LET IT GO

      If you keep it FRESH ON YOUR MIND then there is NO ROOM to THINK of anything else. 

      If SOMETHING or SOMEONE HURTS YOU then WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

      You should always PREVENT ANYTHING or ANYONE from hurting you ever again by KEEPING IT AWAY FROM YOU.

      If YOU KNOW then it DOESN'T MATTER what ANYONE ELSE SAYS it is UP TO YOU to PROTECT YOURSELF. 

      Even if YOU WANT TO if it HURTS YOU then GET AWAY FROM IT so it CAN'T HURT YOU ever again.

     I really enjoyed hanging out with someone who i enjoyed a lot of things about them and had a few happy memories with them.

     But when I REALIZED that they were NOT AN HONEST PERSON then I DECIDED that it was BEST FOR ME if I STOPPED hanging out with them.

      I DIDN'T have to WAIT UNTIL they HURT ME BY THEIR DISHONESTY because I HAD TO PROTECT MYSELF from ever GETTING HURT.

      That ONE MINUTE OF FUN with ANYTHING or ANYONE is NOT WORTH the LIFETIME OF NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES you will have to PAY for that ONE MINUTE.

      You will just have to FIND another way to CREATE MEMORIES with PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST or enjoy DOING IT ALONE if necessary. 

      STOP SAYING I HAD TO because YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

      There are times when YOU KNOW but YOU IGNORE WHAT YOU KNEW but HOPEFULLY YOU LEARNED along the way to NOT DO IT AGAIN.

     When you want to LET IT GO then decide and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind to be able to LET IT GO so you can ENJOY your life while you are living it.

    LETTING GO means YOU have to JUST FLUSH IT so you can LET IT GO.

Sometimes you see WHY

      Sometimes you KNOW you SHOULDN'T but you DON'T LISTEN so you PAY the CONSEQUENCES because you did it anyways. 

      Have you ever TOLD YOURSELF that you SHOULDN'T but you DIDN'T LISTEN?

      If YOUR MIND SAYS DON'T then PAY ATTENTION to the WARNING.

       If you KNOW that some people YOU SHOULDN'T hang out with then PAY ATTENTION.

      Because WHO YOU CHOOSE to ASSOCIATE WITH is YOU CHOOSING to DO WHAT THEY DO while you are hanging out with them.

      When I was younger I didn't UNDERSTAND why my parents would not like my friend.

      But it didn't take long for me to one day UNDERSTAND WHY they said it.

      And once you KNOW WHY then you will NEVER FORGET WHY.

      If you LEARN then take WHAT YOU LEARNED and let that SET THE BOUNDARIES that YOU WON'T CROSS.

      If you DON'T AGREE with what's happening then let that be the REASON that YOU STICK TO YOUR BOUNDARIES. 

      If you DON'T LIKE IT then KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOU so that it CAN'T NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOU.

       YOUR CHOICES are WHAT YOU CHOOSE so THINK ABOUT IT before you CHOOSE.

ONE MINUTE is ONE MINUTE not LIFE LONG

       Just because you had ONE MINUTE of time that was difficult DOES NOT mean that from NOW ON EVERYTHING will always be difficult for you.

      But if you don't take that ONE MINUTE and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind then OF COURSE it will be ALWAYS ON YOUR MIND.

      And the FEELINGS that the ONE MINUTE brought you will PREVENT YOU from MOVING PAST IT if you KEEP IT FRESH ON YOUR MIND. 

      When you are ANGRY you should TAKE A MOMENT of your time to ACKNOWLEDGE IT then JUST FLUSH YOUR ANGER AWAY.

      Because if you MAKE YOUR CHOICE when you are ANGRY then what you DO or SAY ANGRILY will DECIDE the RESULTS for MORE THAN A MINUTE.

     Have you ever ANGRILY SAID something that you later REGRETTED?

     Of course we all have but ONCE YOU DO then you KNOW that everytime you GET ANGRY you should STOP until YOUR ANGER IS GONE.

      Taking a MOMENT of your time when you are ANGRY is the ONLY WAY to NOT ACT OUT OF ANGER.

      The ONLY PERSON that GETS HURT the most if you REACT when you are ANGRY is YOU.

      The PERSON that ANGERED you DIDN'T have CARE or FEEL COMPASSIONATE for THEMSELVES EITHER.

     So DON'T LET someone like that TAKE YOUR JOY AWAY FROM YOU.

      YOU MAY or MAY NOT have CAUSED that ONE MINUTE but YOU are IN CHARGE OF YOURSELF NOW.

     So if you want PEACE OF MIND then you KNOW that you have to take any NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES and JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND has ROOM to GET IN. 

      

      

CHANGE IT when YOU CAN

      It's hard to DECIDE but THANK GOODNESS you are able to DECIDE what is BEST FOR YOU. 

     I could see that it was raining and if I went out I would get wet but THANK GOODNESS that unlike the witch in the Wizard of Oz I wouldn't melt when I get wet and I could get what I need.

     I knew that by removing any items in the recipe would make it taste different but luckily by CHANGING the RECIPE I will like the TASTE.

     You can't CHANGE how someone else FEELS but you can CHANGE how you FEEL by doing what YOU THINK is RIGHT.

     There are many things during your life's journey that happens whether you want it or not but THANK GOODNESS what you CAN CONTROL YOU CAN CONTROL.

      When you REALIZE what YOU CAN DO then JUST DO IT because it wouldn't GET DONE IF YOU DON'T. 

       We all could BLAME SOMEONE ELSE but when you HAVE A CHANCE and DON'T TAKE IT then you have NO ONE but YOURSELF TO BLAME.

        Every CHOICE YOU MAKE MATTERS just like CHOOSING TO DO NOTHING is PURELY UP TO YOU.

      LIFE is HARD AT TIMES but THANK GOODNESS YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN to ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that YOU CAN.

      When you can see that A CHANGE IS NEEDED then GET UP and CHANGE IT in a way that has a POSITIVE EFFECT ON YOU. 

      When it is UP TO YOU then it is UP TO YOU to do what is BEST FOR YOU.

      When it's time for A CHANGE then LEARN what YOU NEED TO so that THE CHANGE CAN BE the CHANGE that is BEST FOR YOU.

      CHOOSE WISELY because at the end of the day YOU have TO LIVE WITH THE CHANGES YOU MAKE. 

     

     

Take care of you first

      Just because you HOPE IT WILL does not mean that IT WILL but you SHOULD BE HOPEFUL so you SHOULD ALWAYS do YOUR BEST.

      We all know that NO ONE will always get EVERYTHING so make sure that YOU GET YOUR BASIC ESSENTIALS FIRST then you CAN PEACEFULLY DIVIDE what is left FAIRLY. 

     When you ACCEPT that in order to GET WHAT YOU NEED then you have to ACCEPT EVERYONE INVOLVED has THEIR NEEDS then COOPERATE TOGETHER to MEET IN THE MIDDLE.

     Even when someone DOESN'T GET EVERYTHING as long as THEY FEEL that TOGETHER YOU EACH GOT ENOUGH then IT IS FAIR.

     When you DON'T FEEL HEARD by those that you are TRYING TO WORK WITH then it's hard to WORK WITH THEM.

     At the end of the day YOU have to DECIDE WHO YOU CAN WORK WITH before YOU DECIDE WHO TO WORK WITH.

     We each have A CHOICE and CHOOSING YOURSELF FIRST is YOU TAKING CARE OF YOU and the BOUNDARIES YOU SET FOR YOURSELF. 

     

If I COULD... I SHOULD.. before I CAN'T

       Have you ever thought about doing it yet you never did it so now that you are older you regret not trying?

      Did you plan on doing it one day then after years of never doing it you realize you are now too old to do it?

      Don't wait for it to be TOO LATE because if you do then it will be TOO LATE for you.

      Have you ever seen something POSITIVE but you had a NEGATIVE ATTITUDE so you DIDN'T see it?

      When OPPORTUNITIES COME YOUR WAY then GRAB IT.

      We only have ONE LIFE to LIVE SO....ENJOY IT while you are LIVING IT and if you WANT IT then GO FOR IT.

       You have to MAKE ROOM to ENJOY DOING the things you DREAM OF so YOU CAN ENJOY DOING THEM.

      If you WANT it then GRAB IT when it COMES YOUR WAY.

KEEP IT SIMPLE so it isn't SO COMPLICATED

       Sometimes we make our lives HARDER then they should be because we try to OVERDUE things. 

      When you PLAN TOO MUCH then you turn the OUTING into a COMPETITION that is TOO HARD for one person to do.

       If you are TOO BUSY PREPARING you will have NO ENERGY to ENJOY what you had PLANNED.

       Like COOKING a WAY TOO BIG OF A  DINNER to SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY then you end up getting TOO TIRED to be able to RELAX while you are EATING DINNER with them.

      COOK SIMPLE MEALS so that you won't be TOO TIRED and you can RELAX as YOU ENJOY DINNER with them.

       When you PLAN TOO MANY things to do on YOUR VACATION that you spend YOUR VACATION so TIMED WITH EVENTS that YOU DON'T HAVE TIME to RELAX AT ALL.

       When you KEEP PLANS more SIMPLE then you will LEAVE PLENTY OF TIME that YOU CAN RELAX while you are on YOUR VACATION. 

       When you REALIZE that the SIMPLER THINGS are the MORE RELAXING that your LIFE WILL BE then you will REMEMBER to KEEP IT SIMPLE.

       Instead of making your TO DO LIST too long to do in A DAY make it I WILL HAVE IT DONE WITHIN A WEEK LIST instead.

       When you are making PLANS for your four day VACATION make PLANS FOR TWO DAYS then let TWO OF THE DAYS be for DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO days.

      If YOU WANT a SIMPLE LIFE then....KEEP THINGS SIMPLE so that YOU CAN ENJOY LIFE while you are living it. 

To LET GO OF NEGATIVITY you have to.....JUST FLUSH IT.

       When something NEGATIVE HAPPENS then JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so you can THINK of something POSITIVE. 

      If you WANT PEACE OF MIND then you have to LEARN HOW to take the NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind. 

      Because to have PEACE OF MIND you have to MAKE ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to GET IN.

      If you KEEP THINKING about the NEGATIVE THING that happened then you are CHOOSING to KEEP it FRESH ON YOUR MIND. 

     And WHAT YOU THINK is WHAT YOU FEEL so take ANYTHING and ANYONE that is having a NEGATIVE EFFECT on you then JUST FLUSH IT and FLUSH AWAY YOUR BAD DAY. 

     To THINK POSITIVELY then THINK of things that are POSITIVE.

      As you LEARN you will SEE that WHAT YOU LOOK FOR YOU WILL FIND.

      So REALIZE that if YOU WANT to THINK POSITIVELY then STOP.....and LOOK for SOMETHING POSITIVE.

      And if YOU LOOK FOR TROUBLE then YOU WILL FIND TROUBLE.

      So WHEN something NEGATIVE HAPPENS remember that if YOU THINK about WHAT YOU APPRECIATE then YOU WILL FILL YOUR MIND with THINGS YOU APPRECIATE. 

      We only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE so ENJOY IT ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME while YOU ARE LIVING IT. 

      It's TRUE SHIT HAPPENS during OUR LIFETIME but THANKFULLY we know HOW to take all the NEGATIVITY and JUST FLUSH IT out of our mind 🌻

      

CHANGE may HAVE TO HAPPEN so YOU DECIDE what is BEST FOR YOU

      When things happen in your Life both from the POSITIVE TIMES and the NEGATIVE TIMES it MAKES YOU CHANGE.

      If something NEGATIVE HAPPENS then you have to FIND A WAY to MAKE SURE IT NEVER EVER HAPPENS AGAIN.....PERIOD.

      So you have to FIGURE OUT HOW it happened and DECIDE TO CHANGE things so that at least THAT NEGATIVE thing NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. 

     If you have to GIVE SOMETHING UP then GIVE IT UP.

      If you have to CHANGE YOUR HABITS then CHANGE YOUR HABITS.

     If you have to GET RID OF NEGATIVE PEOPLE in your LIFE then GET RID OF THEM or if it is FAMILY MEMBER then VISIT THEM LESS and FIND POSITIVE PEOPLE to be around. 

     WHO YOU CHOOSE to ASSOCIATE WITH will DETERMINE the MINDSET AROUND YOU that DETERMINES WHO YOU are CHOOSING TO BE.

     WHO YOU BECOME is based on WHO YOU CHOOSE TO BE.

      If you KNOW it is COLD OUTSIDE then DRESS WARMLY so YOU WILL STAY WARM.

      If you KNOW it will be a SUNNY DAY then WEAR SUNGLASSES when you GO OUTSIDE TODAY. 

      If things FEEL WRONG TO YOU then YOU KNOW that IT IS WRONG FOR WHO YOU ARE so let that be THE ONLY REASON that YOU NEED TO NOT DO IT nor ALLOW IT AROUND YOU.

     CHANGE is NOT EASY but IT IS NECESSARY if THINGS ARE GOING TO POSITIVELY CHANGE.

     And if it is TIME FOR A CHANGE in YOUR LIFE then THINK LONG AND HARD about WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS TO CHANGE and then CHANGE and ENJOY YOUR LIFE while YOU ARE LIVING IT. 

     

If YOU TRY then YOU WILL KNOW

        It's NOT always EASY but if YOU DON'T TRY then YOU WILL NEVER TRULY KNOW.

       Have you had a friend who CONSTANTLY said I CAN'T when YOU KNOW THEY CAN?

       I am SURE sometimes that they SAY IT without KNOWING that IF THEY TRIED they COULD but if THEY SAY THEY CAN'T that MEANS THEY WON'T EVER TRY.

      It is hard to HEAR THEM say it KNOWING that THEY COULD if THEY GOT UP AND TRIED.

      I had been BEGGING MY FRIEND to TRY IT but THEY KEPT saying the word CAN'T and we all KNOW that the word CAN'T was the REASON THEY DIDN'T. 

       Finally OUT OF THE BLUE she AGREED TO at least TRY.

       And YOU KNOW WHAT... THEY TRIED IT and NOW THEY LOVE DOING IT.

      Now we LAUGH at HOW LONG I had been TRYING to take that LETTER 'T off the word CAN'T so THEY COULD turn the word I CAN'T into I CAN.

       We need to STOP ADDING the 'T so that we can say I WILL TRY so I KNOW if I CAN.

       Just ONE LETTER CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING so if we STOP SAYING IT with ADDING the EXTRA 'T and TRY IT so WE CAN TRULY KNOW.

       If YOU TRY then the WORST that CAN HAPPEN is YOU LEARNED that YOU TRIED but at least YOU KNOW that YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING. 

       If YOU DIDN'T even TRY then YOU KNOW YOU POSSIBLY COULD HAVE but YOU WILL NEVER KNOW for sure because YOU NEVER TRIED to FIND OUT if YOU COULD HAVE.

       When YOU GET OLDER then YOU WILL REGRET the THINGS YOU NEVER EVEN TRIED.

       TRY IT..... YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT.

      

Have you noticed that some things.....

      Time sure flies by so fast that what you thought happened a MONTH AGO in fact happened NEARLY A YEAR AGO.

      We get DISTRACTED in OUR LIFE that we haven't been NOTICING what happened to people we love and they don't know what happened in ours so we realize that WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER TO CATCH UP.

      My NEW PHONE decides to CONSTANTLY REMIND ME just HOW LONG I have been ON MY PHONE. 

      It listed HOW MANY MINUTES I was on phone calls, and social medias, games etc....

     And HONESTLY I WASN'T SHOCKED but I DID REALIZE I NEEDED TO spend more time DOING SOMETHING ELSE a little more.

     Does your phone send you on a regular basis a CALCULATION of HOW LONG and WHERE you were EACH DAY ON YOUR PHONE?

     You should look to see because even though I wasn't truly surprised I was KINDA EMBARRASSED.

     So I have DECIDED that EVERY DAY I was going to SPEND at least ONE LESS AMOUNT OF TIME on my phone. 

      I think those BOOKS I bought over a year ago because I was EXCITED TO READ THEM was FINALLY GOING TO GET READ.

      

      

       

The LONGER you hold on....the HEAVIER IT GETS.

      When you PICK UP a weight you are LIFTING the AMOUNT you THINK you SHOULD LIFT.

      You may have a GOAL that you want to LIFT IT for about an hour to GET THE BENEFITS you want.

      BUT YOU CAN'T HOLD IT in the air for an hour without OVERDOING IT and HURTING YOURSELF. 

      You must LIFT IT UP then BRING IT DOWN then you LIFT IT UP and BRING IT DOWN over and over again for an hour.

      If you TRY TO CONSTANTLY HOLD IT in the air do you THINK that is WHAT you should do?

       Even if you were only HOLDING a drink of water would you HOLD IT ALL DAY or only when you NEEDED A DRINK?

        When you first GRAB the 12 ounces of water it FEELS like you are HOLDING 12 ounces of water.

       But the LONGER YOU HOLD IT the HEAVIER that 12 ounces of water will FEEL to your arm.

      And there is NO REASON to PUT SO MUCH STRAIN on your arm.... just SIT IT DOWN so your arm can rest.

      Then when you get thirsty PICK IT UP and TAKE A DRINK then sit the water DOWN and rest your arm.

      WASTING YOUR ENERGY and STRENGTH on HOLDING ON when YOU DON'T HAVE TO is WASTING YOUR TIME and YOUR ENERGY.

      We let MEMORIES from NEGATIVE things that happened in the PAST stay FRESH ON OUR MIND and it is HURTING US so....

      ACCEPT what has happened then LEARN from it then JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so you DON'T have to LET IT HURT YOU ANYMORE....so JUST FLUSH IT and EASE YOUR LOAD.

You will GET THERE ONE STEP AT A TIME

       Have you ever felt so OVERWHELMED at what NEEDED DONE that you felt OVERWHELMED WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING?

      Just TURN IT into FIVE JOBS that would TAKE LESS WORK so that it will make it FEEL MORE DOABLE so you won't feel OVERWHELMED. 

       I decided that even when I am watching something on the TV I could still get a lot done if I got up and did something during the COMMERCIALS. 

       Even when I start to COOK DINNER I get out EVERYTHING that I KNOW I NEED TO COOK EVERYTHING for that meal FIRST.

        Because it made it EASIER because I don't want to be NEEDING a pan, a utensil or a bowl in the middle of doing many other things so I GET PREPARED. 

       When what YOU HAD PLANNED in your life is NO LONGER happening you GOT to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind and FIND ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT, ADJUST.

      Things happen in your LIFE'S JOURNEY that you had HOPED wouldn't happen but YOU CAN ADJUST and KEEP GOING ONE STEP AT A TIME.

       As long as YOU NEVER QUIT then YOU NEVER LOST it means YOU ARE ADJUSTING until YOU SUCCEED.

       YOUR DREAMS are YOUR DREAMS to REACH no matter what IT WILL TAKE for YOU TO ACHIEVE THEM.

       No matter if ANYONE BUT YOU BELIEVES IT it's not up to ANYONE BUT YOU but it can ONLY HAPPEN IF YOU STEP UP AND DO IT.

When you LEARN that ONLY YOU KNOW then.....

       Have you every got UPSET about something that YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR after you FIND OUT that it wasn't done by the PERSON YOU TOLD TO DO IT?

       Well were you UPSET at YOURSELF or were you blaming the PERSON YOU TOLD to do it?

      ASKING YOURSELF on WHO you would PLACE BLAME ON can GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS YOU NEED.

       Even if the PERSON YOU TOLD to DO IT ACTUALLY DIDN'T DO IT then YOU WILL SEE that if it is IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO GET DONE then YOU WILL FIND A WAY. 

      EVERYTHING that YOU LEARN will HELP you GROW to MAKE YOU WHO YOU WILL GROW UP TO BE which will MAKE YOU the BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE.

      And remember that WHO YOU WANT TO BE is ONLY BASED ON HOW YOU REACT so if IT IS UP TO YOU then  DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO.

     Sometimes you make WRONG CHOICES but LUCKILY YOU WILL FIGURE IT OUT and GROW.

      

As a HUMAN you CAN ADJUST AS YOU GO to STAY ON TRACK

       Have you ever seen a "THUNDERSTORM " that was so LOUD that you COULDN'T THINK of anything EXCEPT that IT IS RAINING HARD RIGHT NOW?

       If it WASN'T for the "THUNDERSTORM" you WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED that you were in the middle of THINKING about SOMETHING IMPORTANT but...now you FORGOT what it was.

      I was LISTENING to a STORY my husband was TELLING ME then OUT OF THE BLUE a THOUGHT POPPED IN MY BRAIN and SUDDENLY I COULD NO LONGER HEAR his STORY.

      But I WANTED to HEAR the STORY so....I UNFORTUNATELY had to STOP HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS STORY to ADMIT that MY BRAIN GOT LOST.

     When you GET DISTRACTED then......you GET TOO DISTRACTED so you GOT TO STOP and FOCUS to GET BACK ON TRACK TO KEEP UP.

      DON'T EXPECT to ALWAYS STAY FOCUSED because LIFE IS LIFE and sometimes DURING YOUR LIFE things CAN HAPPEN that DISTRACTS YOU so CATCH BACK UP!

      DON'T GET ANGRY at yourself because the TRUTH is at least YOU KNOW YOU ARE HUMAN and HUMANS ARE NOT PERFECT so JUST ADJUST to GET BACK ON TRACK.

     YOUR ENEMIES will TRY TO DISTRACT YOU but the HUMAN IN YOU KNOWS that AS A HUMAN YOU CAN ADJUST AS YOU GO. 

     

SEARCHING FOR HOPE is HOW YOU FIND HOPE

        When something NEGATIVE HAPPENS it brings on NEGATIVE FEELINGS that TAKE AWAY YOUR JOY.

       But YOUR JOY is UP TO YOU so DON'T let what happened keep you from FINDING THINGS YOU ENJOY.

       Sure what happened can make it an UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENT but IT DOESN'T DEFINE YOU.

       It may CAUSE YOU to REGROUP and things to CHANGE but as long as YOU ALWAYS FIND THE JOY IN EVERYTHING then YOU WILL HAVE HOPE.

       Of course there will be BUMPS IN YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY but all of YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY is PART OF YOUR LIFE.

       Sometimes it takes a TORNADO IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE to get YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.

        LIFE'S LESSONS can be PAINFUL but WHAT YOU LEARN is PART OF THE PROCESS and even OUR MISTAKES and OUR CIRCUMSTANCES are JUST PART OF THE PROCESS.

       WE ALL only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE so remember that YOU GOT TO ENJOY IT WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

Have you ever REALIZED that YOU WERE WRONG?

        When something HAPPENS that UPSETS YOU then there is usually SOMEONE or SOMETHING that YOU BLAME FOR IT.

        BUT SOMETIMES the PERSON or CIRCUMSTANCES that YOU BLAME had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. 

       I have seen FRIENDS FIGHT over CIRCUMSTANCES yet in the end they REALIZE that THEIR NEGATIVE ATTITUDE IS NOT BASED ON nothing that EITHER OF THEM DID.

      Have YOU ever RUINED A WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP over YOU BELIEVING something that THEY DIDN'T DO?

       When I REALIZED that WHAT I THOUGHT WAS TRUE was ACTUALLY NOT TRUE it was TOO LATE.

       That is when I REALIZED that WHEN YOU ARE HURT then YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU ARE HURT and UNFORTUNATELY YOU ANGRILY BLAME someone or someone without THINKING.

      So BEFORE YOU REACT or BLAME SOMEONE just STOP.

      It could take you hours, or weeks, or POSSIBLE NEVER TO TRULY KNOW for sure but if YOU REACT ANGRILY then YOU WILL Have NO ONE but YOURSELF TO BLAME for HOW YOU REACTED.

      YOUR SUFFERING could NOT BE because of WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU but because of HOW YOU REACTED.

       DON'T REACT UNTIL YOU STOP and THINK because ONCE YOU REACT..... then WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.

      

      

FORGIVENESS is a GIFT YOU GIVE YOURSELF

      You CAN'T WAIT FOR AN APOLOGY because HONESTLY THAT PROBABLY WON'T COME from SOMEONE THAT HURT YOU. 

      But REGARDLESS YOU DESERVE TO LET IT GO so that YOU CAN MOVE PAST IT.

      SO YOU FORGIVE THEM so that YOU CAN JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind then ENJOY the FORGIVENESS that YOU DID FOR YOURSELF. 

       Trying to WAIT FOR AN APOLOGY from a person WHO HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE not even THEMSELVES is....CRAZY.

      But the MINUTE YOU ACCEPT IT and GIVE FORGIVENESS is THE MINUTE YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO BE FREE to ENJOY PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST.

      Now just because YOU FORGAVE THEM definitely DOESN'T MEAN that YOU WANT TO BE THEIR FRIEND STILL, because YOU LEARNED.

      Because YOU KNOW WHO THEY TRULY ARE NOW and YOU LEARNED that YOU DON'T WANT ANY RELATIONSHIP with someone LIKE them.

     Just BE THANKFUL that YOU LEARNED WHO THEY ARE and YOU CAN STAY AWAY from THEM because YOU LOVE YOURSELF enough to STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

       If YOU DON'T TRUST THEM then....STAY AWAY FROM THEM and let FORGIVENESS SET YOU FREE.

To STAY MOTIVATED you have to always MOTIVATE YOURSELF

       When TIMES GET TOUGH it makes what you NEED TO DO....HARDER TO DO.

       Just STOP and REMIND YOURSELF WHY the HARD WORK is NECESSARY. 

      If you want to REACH the TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN then remember that YOU HAVE A LOT OF CLIMBING TO DO in order to REACH the TOP.

       If you want to EARN A DEGREE then YOU HAVE TO PASS THE CLASSES NEEDED in order to EARN THAT DEGREE.

      If you want to BE KNOWN as SOMEONE WHO IS ALWAYS HONEST then YOU MUST ALWAYS BE HONEST so everyone KNOWS HOW HONEST YOU ARE.

       If it is IMPORTANT TO YOU then no matter what ANYONE ELSE THINKS just REMEMBER IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU. 

      I have many people that I ADMIRE but WE THINK DIFFERENTLY about CERTAIN THINGS.

      So I just NEVER ASK THEIR OPINION ON THOSE SUBJECTS because I KNOW WE THINK DIFFERENTLY on THOSE SUBJECTS.

      We have to KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO  TO STAY MOTIVATED and FOCUS ON THAT so that WE CAN STAY MOTIVATED.

      When YOU HAVE TO DO THE HARD WORK then JUST DO IT and YOU WILL BE PROUD OF YOURSELF FOR DOING IT.

      YOUR THOUGHTS will DETERMINE whether THEY ARE MOTIVATING OR NOT to YOU.

       So THINK POSITIVELY and remember that Peter Pan could ONLY FLY if he THOUGHT HAPPY THOUGHTS.

      In order to STAY MOTIVATED then YOU HAVE TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF. 

      

       

      

      

Letting them LEARN the HARD WAY is......

       Obviously LEARNING from someone else's mistakes may be IMPORTANT to you and those that you love.

      But sometimes it IS NECESSARY to LET THEM LEARN ON THEIR OWN because that may be PART OF THE PLAN for THEM TO LEARN FOR THEMSELVES. 

      I always THINK that it is PART OF MY JOB to make sure I try to keep EVERYONE SAFE by LETTING THEM KNOW the DANGEROUS PARTS so THEY CAN AVOID THEM.

      But WHEN SOMEONE LEARNS BY DOING IT then for sure THEY LEARNED and THEY GREW AS THEY LEARNED.

      And I LEARNED that if I want those around me to FEEL COMFORTABLE in TELLING ME about their NEW IDEAS THEY HAVE PLANNED....

    .....then I NEED TO JUST LISTEN WITHOUT ALWAYS SAYING NEGATIVE REASONS WHY THEY SHOULDN'T DO IT.

      But in MY MIND I can't help but THINK... so I THINK ABOUT IT..... I just DON'T SAY EVERY THOUGHT that POPS UP.

      And the MOMENT THEY GET BACK FROM DOING IT I will BE THANKFUL that THEY ARE HOME SAFELY. 

      What YOU DID WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG WASN'T SMART TO DO but YOU WANTED TO DO IT so YOU DID IT....  but TODAY YOU KNOW THAT YOU WOULDN'T DO IT AGAIN...HAHAHA.

      

      

Caring takes connecting with your HUMANSIDE

         We are all born with COMPASSION IN OUR HEART ❤️ that we USE because we are ALL HUMAN. 

         So that makes it HARD to understand how people sometimes treat OTHERS with NO COMPASSION. 

        But it is THE REASON why WE ALL need to SPREAD KINDNESS so that KINDNESS WILL SPREAD.

        When Mother Theresa was asked how could we FIX the PROBLEMS we see in SOCIETY  she said something in effect to.....

        If ONE PERSON FROM EVERY FAMILY would be a POSITIVE ROLE MODEL to THEIR FAMILY then THEY WILL SPREAD HUMANITY. 

       And if you are that ONE PERSON and YOUR FAMILY WON'T LISTEN then SPREAD YOUR MESSAGE TO ANOTHER FAMILY.

       JUST SPREAD IT and IT WILL GROW so ask yourself WHAT ARE YOU SPREADING?

       It's TRUE.....YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

What are you looking for?

       If you don't like climbing a mountain then you SHOULDN'T JOIN a mountain climbing club.

      If you don't like SINGING then don't SING at the KARAOKE party but you can still go and enjoy hearing your FRIENDS SING.

      If you don't like dancing then don't dance but you can ENJOY the music while it is playing. 

      If you want to RELAX then RELAX and AVOID things that STRESS YOU OUT.

      When you are feeling STRESSED OUT just STOP and RELAX while you are THINKING about times when you FELT RELAXED.

       When a negative thought pops up in your mind just STOP and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind then ENJOY the positive message that pops up next.

      When I am having a rough day I STOP and THINK about something POSITIVE that HAPPENED that day that makes me SMILE.

      If you look for what UPSET YOU today then that is WHAT YOU WILL SEE.

      But if you look for WHAT MADE YOU HAPPY today then that is WHAT YOU WILL SEE.

      If you LOOK FOR TROUBLE then that is WHAT YOU WILL FIND.

      WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

      

      

Searching for it doesn't mean that it will be EASY

        You can WORK HARD to ACHIEVE it but sometimes your HARD WORK doesn't EARN WHAT you were WORKING SO HARD to ACHIEVE.

       That doesn't mean that you DIDN'T WORK HARD ENOUGH it just means that even though you WORKED SO HARD it just wasn't meant to happen. 

      Every NEW THING that we ENJOY today may have taken many FAILED ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE but LUCKILY whoever was doing it kept DOING IT until they SUCCEEDED.

       What we LEARN through OUR MISTAKES we tried doing in the past were NECESSARY to LEARN HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY to ACHIEVE THE GOAL we had planned.

       Do you know HOW MANY TIMES that someone had almost finished it but yet THEY STOPPED because they DIDN'T REALIZE that with a  SMALL ADJUSTMENT....they would have SUCCEEDED?

      MANY....MANY TIMES so DON'T STOP just ADJUST and then before you know it...BOOM IT WILL BE DONE.

       When you wanted to RIDE A BIKE you knew that you would FALL many times before you would be able to RIDE LIKE THE WIND.

      When you CHOOSE TO DO IT then ACCEPT that you are CHOOSING to KEEP GOING until YOU FINISH IT.

      If YOU WANT IT then DO WHATEVER it TAKES and DO IT as MANY TIMES that it TAKES because THAT IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE to GET 'R DONE.

      

In order to HELP OTHERS then FIRST YOU HAVE TO HELP YOURSELF so that YOU CAN

        Not everything has an INSTRUCTION BOOK so all you can do is STOP....and THINK ABOUT IT before you DECIDE what to do.

        If YOU DO IT WITHOUT THINKING you just might REGRET MAKING A DECISION WITHOUT STOPPING TO THINK. 

       The other day I almost said YES I WILL but LUCKILY I THOUGHT ABOUT IT and REALIZED that I am glad I THOUGHT ABOUT IT and DECIDED it WOULDN'T be best for me.

       Had I NOT THOUGHT ABOUT IT I would have been in TROUBLE because it DEFINITELY was something I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DO.

        YOU have to UNDERSTAND that SAYING NO when someone ASK YOU is OKAY, then they will FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN HELP THEM.

        I USED to always say YES because I WANTED TO HELP OTHERS but I REALIZED that there was TIMES when I JUST NEEDED TO PUT MYSELF FIRST.

       It WASN'T because I was LAZY OR SELFISH it was because in order to BE ABLE TO HELP OTHERS that I HAD TO FIRST TAKE CARE OF MYSELF so that I COULD HELP OTHERS WHEN THEY REALLY NEEDED ME.

        When you OVERWHELM YOURSELF with TOO MUCH TO DO then YOU WEAR YOURSELF OUT and then even in an EMERGENCY you will be TOO TIRED TO HELP ANYONE.

      HELPING OTHERS when YOU CAN is a GOOD FEELING but IF YOU CAN'T HELP..... then it's OKAY to say I WISH I COULD but UNFORTUNATELY I AM UNABLE TO.

       Your friends and family will still LOVE YOU because THEY KNOW that IF YOU COULD YOU WOULD.

        So like the FLIGHT ATTENDANT says TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF and put on YOUR OXYGEN MASK FIRST so that YOU CAN THEN HAVE ENOUGH OXYGEN so then YOU CAN HELP THOSE AROUND YOU.

        Always REMEMBER that in order to HELP OTHERS that YOU have to be HEALTHY ENOUGH to HELP THEM.

       

Who GETS HURT when you GET ANGRY at someone WHO HURT YOU?

         What THEY DID absolutely HURTS but when YOU GET ANGRY it HURTS YOU HARDER because ANGER HURTS YOU.

        When YOU GET HURT those THAT HURT YOU usually LEAVES YOU HURTING and within a SECOND THEY HAVE NO MEMORY of HURTING YOU.

        Have you ever CONSTANTLY REPEATING THE MOMENT YOU WERE HURT again and again in YOUR MIND?

       And EVERYTIME YOU RELIVED that MOMENT.... DID IT HURT YOU EVERY TIME YOU RELIVED IT?

        Do YOU THINK that RELIVING IT WILL EVER TAKE AWAY YOUR PAINFUL FEELINGS?

       Well IT WON'T!

       And RELIVING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS YOU CHOOSING to KEEP HURTING YOURSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 

       YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST but YOU CAN DEFINITELY CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS and THINK OF POSITIVE THINGS that will MAKE YOU FEEL POSITIVE TODAY. 

       WE ALL HAVE SOMEONE that WE COULD BLAME but THE TRUTH IS that WHAT HAPPENED ONCE HAPPENED but it is UP TO US to NOT EVER CHOOSE to RELIVE IT EVER AGAIN.

      So JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR MIND SO YOU NEVER HAVE TO RELIVE IT EVER AGAIN.

       If YOU WANT to have PEACE OF MIND then YOU have to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN. 

         

Our EXPERIENCES are part of Our EXPERIENCES

        There will be many things that we WILL FACE throughout OUR LIFE and WHAT WE LEARN from them is part of WHAT WE LEARN.

       WHAT YOU LEARN as you LEARN NEW THINGS to reach the GOALS you set is WHAT YOU LEARNED AS YOU GREW.

       Once YOU REACH THE GOAL that you had set then.....you start to wander WHAT ELSE might be a NEW GOAL that YOU COULD DO.

       TOO MANY people when they REACH THEIR GOAL then they FEEL LOST because HAVING A GOAL keeps YOU MOTIVATED to REACH THAT GOAL.

       STAYING BUSY ON working on YOUR GOALS is LIVING LIFE ONE GOAL AT A TIME.

       And if YOU REALIZE that at times ALTHOUGH YOU TRIED there are just SOME GOALS YOU WEREN'T MEANT to ACCOMPLISH then PICK ANOTHER GOAL.

         Our GOALS CHANGE as WE GROW and your LIFE'S JOURNEY is full of GOOD DAYS as well as BAD DAYS that are ALL PART OF YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY. 

     The BEST PARTS OF LIFE is ALL THE THINGS both THE GOOD AND THE BAD that YOU DID ALONG THE WAY.

       ENJOY YOUR LIFE while YOU ARE LIVING IT. 

       

       

When you want to make a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE then....

      You obviously CAN'T fix everyone's problems but YOU CAN make sure that you never make things HARDER for ANYONE. 

      You CAN'T make the negative things that happened to you go away but YOU CAN learn from them then..... JUST FLUSH IT so it CAN'T HURT YOU AGAIN. 

      You may NOT be able to CHANGE THINGS that happened already but YOU CAN CHANGE HOW YOU THINK TODAY so that you CAN ENJOY TODAY.

      YOU may NOT have FELT APPRECIATED by someone who SHOULD'VE APPRECIATED YOU but YOU CAN and YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE YOURSELF and ENJOY YOURSELF TODAY.

        YOU may have NOT ALWAYS FELT LOVE like YOU SHOULD OF but YOU CAN LEARN to LOVE YOURSELF.

        YOU HAVE A CHOICE HOW YOU FEEL TODAY despite of the negativity that YOU have had to face.

      DON'T let YOUR PAST PREVENT YOU from ENJOYING YOURSELF TODAY because TODAY it is PURELY UP TO YOU and YOU DESERVE to CHOOSE TO ENJOY YOURSELF.

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

DECIDE so that YOU KNOW

       BEFORE YOU DECIDE how to get ANYWHERE you will have to DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.

        If it is something that is IN THE NORTH then you OBVIOUSLY KNOW that you WON'T GET THERE if you GO to the SOUTH.

        If YOU DONT LIKE SEAFOOD then when you go OUT TO EAT then DON'T ORDER YOURSELF ANY SEAFOOD to EAT.

      If YOU have an IMPORTANT DECISION TO MAKE then STOP... and THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU DECIDE. 

       YOUR DECISIONS that YOU MAKE is YOUR DECISION so CHOOSE WISELY because it is UP TO YOU.

       

ENJOY the CHANGES because LIFE is full of CHANGES

       What you find important to do today may not be something that you will always find important to you.

      I have spent days doing something that I have been doing for years then...out of the blue....I suddenly just didn't want to do it anymore. 

      What you liked when you were young doesn't mean as much to you when you get older.

     There is nothing wrong with CHANGING WHAT YOU LIKE.... IT is just part of GROWING UP and doing what you like is NATURAL CHANGES.

       When I tried to FIGURE OUT WHY I NO LONGER liked it there was no answer to be found I just GREW and things NATURALLY CHANGED. 

      YOU can't get TOO COMFORTABLE in LIFE because LIFE is ALWAYS CHANGING. 

       And as YOU ADJUST to the CHANGES then YOU will GET COMFORTABLE and YOU will begin to ENJOY the CHANGES.

      

Maybe it isn't what you planned at least.....

        You may have PLANNED a grill out with your family and friends yet out of the blue....It starts pouring down rain.

       Although it wasn't what you had PLANNED at least you bought some awesome food that you can prepare for everyone, it's just everyone will be ENJOYING IT indoors instead of outdoors. 

       You may have PLANNED to get together with your friends but suddenly one by one many friends decides they can't come.

      And although it changes things you will still ENJOY the time you get to spend with those that do come.

       When things in your life are different then you had PLANNED just GO WITH THE FLOW and ENJOY WHAT YOU CAN.

       LIFE is LIFE and things happen in YOUR LIFE and that is JUST LIFE.

       YOUR CHOICE is whether you CHOOSE TO ENJOY IT OR NOT.

       When things are not WORKING OUT LIKE YOU PLANNED then......JUST FLUSH IT and ENJOY YOUR LIFE AS YOU ARE LIVING IT.

       We all ONLY have ONE LIFE to LIVE and it is UP TO YOU whether YOU ENJOY IT OR NOT and even on A BAD DAY then YOU CAN FLUSH AWAY A BAD DAY and ENJOY EVERY MOMENT YOU CAN.

Get PAST IT so YOU CAN GET PAST IT

      If you keep it FRESH ON YOUR MIND then OBVIOUSLY it will BE FRESH ON YOUR MIND. 

      So if you want to GET MOVING again then you need to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so YOU CAN GET MOVING.

     Have you ever met someone who CONSTANTLY keeps REPEATING the incident that HURT THEM?

     And even after you GET THEM to TALK about something else they AGAIN START REPEATING THE SAME STORY and IT AFFECTS them and it is AGAIN FRESH ON THEIR MIND.

      After TIME AND TIME AGAIN they are DETERMINED to KEEP IT FRESH ON THEIR MIND.

      So WHAT CAN YOU DO?

     UNFORTUNATELY the THOUGHTS THEY CHOOSE to THINK ABOUT is ONLY UP TO THEM.

     So you just GIVE THEM A HUG and then WALKWAY and FIND PEACE OF MIND FOR YOURSELF and MOVE ON.

       You can LEAD someone to the WATER but they will DIE OF THIRST unless they DECIDE THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE A DRINK.

You CHOOSE by WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO THINK ABOUT

      When you wake up each morning what is the first thing that you THINK ABOUT?

      Do you IMMEDIATELY THINK that you are LUCKY THAT YOU WOKE UP TODAY?

      If the MOMENT YOU WAKE UP you are THANKFUL then YOU WILL START OFF your day with a SMILE.

      If the MOMENT YOU WAKE UP you IMMEDIATELY THINK NEGATIVELY about WHAT YOU WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO then YOU START YOUR DAY OFF NEGATIVELY. 

      And since YOUR THOUGHTS will DETERMINE exactly HOW YOU WILL FEEL EACH DAY then CHOOSE WISELY.

       EVERY MORNING when YOU WAKE UP....JUST STOP and BE THANKFUL that YOU LUCKILY WOKE UP TODAY. 

      ACCEPT the CHALLENGES that COME YOUR WAY EACH DAY and ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU REACT.

     Because at the END OF THE DAY YOU WILL BE PROUD OF YOURSELF for THINKING and ACTING APPROPRIATELY. 

      If a NEGATIVE THOUGHT pops up in your mind then JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind before it EVER has a CHANCE to AFFECT YOU NEGATIVELY. 

      UNFORTUNATELY...We all have NEGATIVE THOUGHTS that try to GRAB OUR ATTENTION so if YOU THINK ABOUT IT then INSTANTLY that THOUGHT brings an AVALANCHE TO TRAP YOU.

      So when a NEGATIVE THOUGHT POPS UP.....JUST FLUSH IT so it DOESN'T have a NEGATIVE EFFECT ON YOU. 

      When our ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS in our mind has a POSITIVE THOUGHT THAT POPS UP then JUST GRAB IT and YOU WILL HAVE A POSITIVE DAY.

      ONLY YOU CHOOSE what YOU WILL THINK ABOUT and YOU will UNDERSTAND that WHAT YOU will SEE IN LIFE is BASED ON HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS.

Are you going to BRING IT with you?

      Sometimes during your Life's Journey you know that there will be times when you NEED TO TAKE A BREAK and.....well you NEED TO TAKE A BREAK.

      You know the NEGATIVE THOUGHTS that you are trying TO GET AWAY FROM.... make sure you DON'T TAKE IT WITH YOU.

      If you GET AWAY to RELAX then you NEED to ACCEPT WHAT HAPPENED then..... JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind and RELAX.

      Just remember that sometimes in Life THINGS HAPPEN as PART OF YOUR JOURNEY and it was meant to HAPPEN so YOU COULD LEARN AS YOU GREW.

     It's hard to IMAGINE BEING THANKFUL for a NEGATIVE PROBLEMS but ONE DAY you will LOOK BACK and BE THANKFUL. 

     YOU WILL REALIZE that had it NOT HAPPENED then YOU WOULDN'T have BECOME THE BEST YOU THAT YOU ARE TODAY.

     WHO YOU ARE is WHO YOU CHOSE TO BE despite the JOURNEYS you had to face along the way.

If it DIDN'T HAPPEN then...

       We make our PLANS that we want to ACCOMPLISH by what WE THINK WE KNOW about it.

      The other day a friend and I spent WEEKS MAKING PLANS so that we COULD ENJOY a fun day out.

      We sat TOGETHER and took the INFORMATION that WE BOTH HAD about WHERE we were going and WE TOOK QUITE A WHILE to PLAN a great outing.

      We both had spent WEEKS GATHERING everything that was ON OUR LIST.

       Then FINALLY IT WAS TIME TO GO and WE KNEW that we had EVERYTHING WE PLANNED for the OUTING.

        Then WHEN WE GET THERE... let's just say WE PLANNED A TRIP TOGETHER but APPARENTLY WE HAD NO IDEA about WHERE WE WERE ACTUALLY going to spend the day at.

      BUT INSTEAD OF what WE THOUGHT we ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE WHAT WE NEEDED for our OUTONG.

       LUCKILY WE LOVE EACH OTHER and therefore all WE COULD DO WAS LAUGH about IT and ENJOY OUR TIME TOGETHER.

       Sometimes WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES and EVERYTIME WE DO WE can JUST LAUGH ABOUT IT and JUST FLUSH IT and MOVE ON to ENJOY OUR DAY.

      To ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE takes FLUSHING AWAY A BAD DAY. 🫪

Even those that have always been against it suddenly......

       When you are GUESSING that DOESN'T MAKE IT A FACT.... it's just YOUR GUESS.

       So if you want to make an INFORMED DECISION then GET ALL THE FACTS so that YOU WILL BE INFORMED. 

       Because without the FACTS all you are doing is MAKING AN UNINFORMED DECISION.

      I had BELIEVED something AS A FACT then found out YEARS LATER that what I THOUGHT WAS A FACT was actually TOTALLY DIFFERENT than the TRUTH.

      If YOU BELIEVE that it is TRUE than TO YOU IT'S TRUE even if it REALLY ISN'T TRUE AT ALL. 

      THE TRUTH MAY HURT but if YOU KNOW THE TRUTH then YOU WILL FIGURE IT OUT as long as YOU GET THE FACTS.

      Telling someone AN HONEST NO will hurt them LESS because then THEY WILL KNOW TO ASK SOMEONE ELSE.

       BEFORE YOU FORM YOUR OPINION just GET ALL THE FACTS so that YOU DON'T STRESS about the DECISION YOU WILL MAKE. 

DON'T JUDGE ANYONE TOO HARSHLY.....because

       If you judge anyone TOO HARSHLY then you will make things HARDER FOR THEM.

      If you judge yourself TOO HARSHLY then you will make yourself TOO STRESSED to TRY IT AGAIN so that YOU CAN DO IT BETTER.

      If you JUDGE your FRIENDS TOO HARSHLY then you might make them CHOOSE TO IGNORE YOU because they DON'T DESERVE TO BE TREATED SO HARSHLY.

      When you want TO TEACH someone the BEST WAY TO DO IT then YOU SHOULD POLITELY EXPLAIN the REASONS WHY something SHOULD BE DONE DIFFERENTLY so THEY WILL UNDERSTAND. 

      But if YOU JUDGE THEM TOO HARSHLY then THEY WON'T LEARN ANYTHING except that the WAY YOU MAKE THEM FEEL IS UNCOMFORTABLE. 

       You may not UNDERSTAND just HOW HARSHLY YOUR JUDGEMENTS CAN BE so TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK BEFORE YOU SAY IT so that YOU ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING TO YOURSELF OR ANYONE that is TOO PAINFUL TO HEAR.

Every time it comes.....ADJUST

      You may be running behind but as long as you are getting everything done then it is done on time.

      Obstacles happen throughout your LIFES JOURNEY but those are just Obstacles that you will move around. 

     When you begin to doubt yourself just remember all the Obstacles that you dealt with throughout your life that you dealt with already. 

      Adjusting is part of GROWING and when you LEARN TO GROW WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED then you will proudly stand firmly grounded.

Be the BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE and THEY CAN BE THEIR BEST SELF TOO

       Let's START OFF by saying that it is IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY so TAKE THAT THOUGHT and JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR MIND.

      You just make sure that YOU ARE HAPPY with EVERY THOUGHT, EVERY WORD, EVERY ACTION, and EVERY INTERACTION that YOU MAKE that YOU ARE PROUD OF YOURSELF.

      If YOU KEEP CHANGING to PLEASE ANYONE then YOU WILL NEVER BE THE TRUE YOU.

      Because YOU WILL NEVER GROW TO BE THE BEST YOU that YOU ARE.

      With all the ANGER and FAKENESS from those AROUND YOU and THROUGHOUT THE SOCIAL MEDIA..... I HOPE YOU CAN SEE that YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO REMAIN TRUE TO YOURSELF.

       If YOU HAVE SET BOUNDARIES then remember to NEVER CROSS YOUR OWN BOUNDARIES... PERIOD.

       Remember that WHO YOU CHOOSE to ASSOCIATE WITH is YOU CHOOSING the TYPES of CROWD YOU ARE COMFORTABLE AROUND. 

       And if YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE AROUND people WHO HAVE A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE then FIND NEW FRIENDS WHO POSITIVELY INSPIRES YOU. 

      If I DIDN'T CHOOSE to go to the store EARLIER IN THE MORNING then I WOULD BE CHOOSING to go in the AFTERNOON WHEN THEY ARE PACKED WITH PEOPLE. 

      There are BILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD and yet there is ONLY ONE YOU and as long as YOU ARE PROUD OF YOURSELF then YOU ARE AWESOME.

      

If you THINK it is TRUE then is it really TRUE?

      If you tell yourself that YOU CAN'T DO IT then the TRUTH is that YOU WON'T DO IT because YOU WILL NEVER TRY TO DO IT.

     After you CONVINCE YOURSELF that it is TOO HARD FOR YOU then YOU ALREADY CONVINCED YOURSELF so YOU WON'T EVER TRY IT.

      You may be AFRAID OF HEIGHTS yet if YOU TRY DOING some things that are DONE THAT ARE HIGH then YOU MAY ENJOY DOING THEM.

      If you want to ENJOY YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY then it means that there may be times that you need to TRY THINGS even if YOU THINK IT IS TOO HARD.

     There are MANY THINGS that YOU WILL FINALLY TRY that then YOU FIND OUT THAT YOU DON'T LIKE DOING THEM.

     But TRYING IT GIVES YOU THE TRUTH about whether YOU CAN OR YOU CAN'T DO IT.

      And the TRUTH MAKES YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH not a FALSE GUESS.

     DON'T GUESS just TRY IT so YOU WILL KNOW then forever YOU CAN KNOW THE TRUTH.

Having troubles means.....

      No matter how hard you plan something you have to ACCEPT that things don't always go as you had planned.

       But you can regroup and make things work out differently but first you have to STOP being ANGRY about how things have changed.

       Because until YOUR ANGER IS GONE then YOU CAN'T REGROUP because you are TOO ANGRY to THINK about how to ACCEPT IT so you can ENJOY IT DIFFERENTLY.

       I had to ACCEPT that we can still have FUN we have to JUST FLUSH IT out of our mind so we can PLAN a new ADVENTURE. 

      But when you can FEEL THE ANGER SO DEEP INSIDE YOU then....STOP THINKING ABOUT IT UNTIL YOUR ANGER IS GONE.

     If the ANGER is GONE then USE YOUR IMAGINATION and MAKE A NEW PLAN that YOU KNOW WILL BE JUST AS MUCH FUN TO DO.

      ANGER UNFORTUNATELY makes you ANGRY TO BE AROUND so ACCEPT IT then JUST FLUSH IT and EVERYONE will FORGET ABOUT IT and ENJOY YOUR NEW PLANS TOGETHER. 

Better to be SAFE not SORRY

      I really wanted it but at that price I would FEEL BAD about paying that much so.....I will CHOOSE to wait until it is ON SALE to buy it. 

     I wanted the kids to have FUN DOING IT but I decided that there was TOO MANY CHANCES that it would be DANGEROUS so....I  found something FUN that they could do. 

     I can UNDERSTAND how much FUN RIDING a ELECTRIC BIKE could be but going SO FAST for a young person is DANGEROUS so.....I decided buying a COOL BIKE for them was SAFER. 

     Some people can SEE THE FUN but it doesn't STOP THEM from doing it even after you tell them HOW DANGEROUS it COULD BE. 

      Sometimes my GRANDCHILDREN think I am always WORRIED about the DANGER WITHOUT SEEING THE FUN PART OF ANYTHING. 

      But what they DON'T KNOW is being OLD ENOUGH to have SEEN THE DANGERS happening during the DECADES it kinda makes you REALIZE that although it ISN'T ALWAYS DANGEROUS there is sometimes where it was DANGEROUS OCCASIONALLY. 

      Just take a MOMENT to LOOK AT THE POSSIBLE DANGERS before you CHOOSE TO DO IT because it is better to be SAFE NOT SORRY.

     But while you are doing it ENJOY IT because YOU GOT TO ALSO ENJOY YOUR LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT. 

     There are MANY THINGS that I did when I was YOUNG and I HAD FUN but my BODY STILL REMEMBERS a few times when I GOT HURT and I DECIDED that I WOULD NEVER DO THOSE THINGS A SECOND TIME.

      NO MATTER how many times someone tells you that YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT you MAY NOT UNDERSTAND what they MEANT UNTIL YOU WERE DOING IT and YOU SUDDENLY UNDERSTOOD what THEY MEANT.

    LIFE is like a ROLLERCOASTER and a ROLLERCOASTER may be FUN they are ALSO A LITTLE SCARY. 🎢

      

Don't STRESS over IT..... JUST FLUSH IT

      Sometimes when you are cooking dinner and one of the things you were trying to cook wasn't edible just DON'T STRESS about it because the rest of the food you cooked tasted awesome.

     Sometimes during your exciting weekend there may be a couple things that were not as exciting as you thought it would be but DON'T STRESS about it the rest of your weekend had plenty of HAPPY TIMES.

     You may have worked hard to get everything that you needed but DON'T STRESS if you forgot something because it is going to be a great time because of everything else you did get.

     Not everyone will ENJOY EVERY MOMENT of it but everyone will ENJOY MANY MOMENTS of it.

     There are many things in your LIFE'S JOURNEY that DON'T HAPPEN like you PLANNED but DON'T STRESS about the negative things because OVER ALL you have had an AMAZING LIFE'S JOURNEY. 

     When you catch the FLU you feel sick but DON'T STRESS about it because eventually you will RECOVER FROM THE FLU.

      You may be upset at the COST OF YOUR CAR REPAIR but DON'T STRESS about it because you should be THANKFUL that you will have a car to drive because some people DON'T. 

     Recently I was feeling STRESSED about being STRESSED over stupid things so I STOPPED and ACCEPTED IT then I decided to JUST FLUSH IT out of my mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN. 

      If you want PEACE OF MIND then you have to FIND IT by LEARNING how to JUST FLUSH IT  so you DON'T HAVE TO STRESS about it.

     

Have you ever found things that you forgot about?

       Have you RECENTLY LOOKED at what you have in your "JUNK DRAWER" in a ROOM in your house?

      I have realized that I seem to have a "JUNK DRAWER" in EVERY ROOM.

      Do you know how many "JUNK DRAWERS" that you have?

      Every "JUNK DRAWER" even if they were stuffed in a "JUNK BOX" that I went through were full of MEMORIES and some of it was just JUNK.

     I have learned that going through your "JUNK DRAWERS" was something that is actually FUN TO DO every now and again.

    And although DUSTING ALL YOUR "JUNK SHELVES" you have throughout your house is NOT FUN but by DUSTING IT sure gets YOU ANOTHER CHANCE to ENJOY THE MEMORIES of when you got it.

     And ENJOYING all those HAPPY MEMORIES if YOU LOOK AT THEM is why ANYTIME YOU WANT TO REMEMBER IT just START DUSTING IT.

    

   

     

Before you REACT take a minute to THINK BEFORE YOU REACT

      When something happens that makes you FEEL NEGATIVELY then YOU KNOW that your FIRST THOUGHT WILL BE NEGATIVE.

     So if you REACT IMMEDIATELY then YOU KNOW that if YOU RESPOND NEGATIVELY that things will END NEGATIVELY.

     So in THAT MOMENT just STOP and THINK about what YOUR ACTIONS WILL BRING.

     And YOU WILL SEE that YOUR FIRST REACTION was LEADING TO ANGER and ANYTHING DONE OUT OF ANGER will BRING YOU A NEGATIVE OUTCOME.

     But when YOU STOP AND THINK it through then YOU WILL FIGURE OUT what TO DO to have the BEST OUTCOME POSSIBLE despite the circumstances.

     Remember that YOU CAN..... if YOU STOP and TAKE A MINUTE TO THINK BEFORE YOU REACT. 

CHOOSE to do what MAKES YOU HAPPY

     Have you ever found yourself doing something that you DON'T have to do that you DID JUST BECAUSE you HAD ALWAYS DONE IT?

     Well then maybe you should STOP DOING IT because we only have one life to live and we need to STOP WASTING a moment of it.

     It is hard to STOP sometimes because you know that if you DON'T DO IT then it will STOP BEING DONE.

     So take a moment and DECIDE how you will feel if it STOPPED HAPPENING.

    If YOU REALIZE that YOU DO IT FOR YOURSELF because YOU WANT IT TO HAPPEN then KEEP DOING IT.

     But if YOU REALIZE that by NOT DOING IT that it would give YOU EXTRA TIME to do something else that YOU ARE EXCITED about then STOP DOING IT.

     If YOU LIKE DOING IT then as long as YOU CAN KEEP DOING IT and HAVE FUN DOING IT.

    It is UP TO YOU to CHOOSE TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO and if YOU NO LONGER WANT TO then ITS UP TO YOU to STOP DOING IT.

    

It's a 250 YEAR CELEBRATION for USA but EVERY COUNTRY should CELEBRATE THEIR COUNTRY TOO

       It wasn't easy to become OUR OWN COUNTRY but the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is something SPECIAL TO CELEBRATE.

     EVERY COUNTRY has millions of people that work hard to keep their COUNTRY SAFE and STRIVE to be a PROSPEROUS COUNTRY TO PROUDLY LIVE IN.

     EVERY PERSON IN YOUR COUNTRY has to WORK HARD INDIVIDUALLY to STAND LOUD AND PROUD.

     If you WANT PEACE in YOUR COUNTRY you have to FIND YOUR PEACE OF MIND to SHARE IT so PEACE OF MIND will SPREAD HUMANITY in YOUR COUNTRY. 

      There will always be ISSUES that EVERY COUNTRY will have to FACE but HOW YOU DEAL WITH and REACT to the ISSUES is WHAT DETERMINES THE OUTCOME.

      Just when EVERYTHING IS WORKING out then BAMMMM.... something HAPPENS.

     Then TOGETHER YOU WORK HARD and TOGETHER YOU FIX IT and you CELEBRATE.

     But TOMORROW the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA will CELEBRATE 250 YEARS of becoming the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

     And I KNOW that ALL AMERICANS will be CELEBRATING and I HOPE that EVERY COUNTRY will be CELEBRATING THEIR OWN COUNTRIES because WE ALL LOVE OUR COUNTRIES.

     WE ALL DESERVE TO BE COMFORTABLE and FEEL SAFE NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY WE LIVE IN.

      TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO LOVE THEIR COUNTRY and to SPREAD HUMANITY to SPREAD KINDNESS FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER. 

     WORLD PEACE IS POSSIBLE by BRINGING PEACE OF MIND to ONE PERSON AT A TIME.

    So LEARN HOW to take all the NEGATIVITY IN THE WORLD and JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN. 🌻 

    

     

We are all DIFFERENT and our DIFFERENCES are what makes us all UNIQUELY DIFFERENT

      If you get burnt from the stove you quickly LEARN not to TOUCH IT again because it hurts you if you TOUCH IT. 

      If you TRIED to do it but you REALIZE that it is just something that you CAN'T DO then ACCEPT that you CAN'T but at least you TRIED.

      If you KNOW when enough is enough then ACCEPT IT and MOVE ON and do something else. 

      I have seen people get so UPSET that they COULDN'T do what their friends did that they IGNORED the fact that everyone DOESN'T do EXACTLY the same thing. 

       We each are GOOD at some things but NO ONE is GOOD AT EVERYTHING so you do what you are GOOD at and they will do what they are GOOD AT.

      If we were all the same then none of us would do anything differently and that DOESN'T seem like we would ever have any chance of doing anything differently. 

     I like LEARNING NEW THINGS even if I choose not to do it I can still ENJOY hearing about new exciting things that other people were doing. 

      We are all UNIQUELY DIFFERENT and that is what makes a UNIQUELY DIFFERENT WORLD that we all GET TO ENJOY LIFE in our OWN UNIQUE WAY.

Have you ever made a list then.....

      How many times have you made a LIST then you get to the store and REALIZE that you FORGOT TO BRING THE LIST?

      Have you ever spent a long time making your LIST but after you shop and get home you REALIZE that YOU FORGOT to write the MOST IMPORTANT PART?

     It is hard to REMEMBER EVERYTHING on your LIST which is why you write a LIST but sometimes you have to REALIZE that you need to CHECK YOUR LIST TWICE.

      I had been gathering everything to have fun with my grandkids PAINTING ROCKS and as I start gathering stuff guess what I forgot?

      I FORGOT THE ROCKS. 

      So now I have to GET SOME ROCKS so WE can ENJOY painting ROCKS.

       What was the last thing that YOU FORGOT?

       I have had many PLANNED FAMILY DINNERS that SUDDENLY CHANGED when I REALIZE that I had FORGOTTEN ONE OF MY INGREDIENTS OFF MY LIST TO BUY.

      Sometimes you just got to GO WITH THE FLOW on your LIFE'S JOURNEY because LIFE is full of TWISTS AND TURNS. 

       

      

     

When you WANT TO KNOW then.....

       If you WANT TO KNOW then you have to do what you got TO DO and LOOK FOR THE ANSWER to KNOW.

      If you WANT TO ENJOY something then you have to ENJOY IT whenever you can ENJOY IT.

      You WON'T GET everything that you DREAM OF but if you WANT ANY OF YOUR DREAMS to COME TRUE then YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE DREAMS.

       You WON'T APPRECIATE what you DO HAVE unless you LOOK AT what you have and BE THANKFUL that you have it.

      When I WANT TO CRAFT something I WANT to ENJOY IT so I HAVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT the CRAFT so that I CAN GET ALL THE SUPPLIES to BE ABLE TO DO IT.

       You CAN DO MANY THINGS during your LIFE'S JOURNEY but if YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT then TO DO IT CORRECTLY then you have to FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY.

       I thought PAINTING ON ROCKS would be PAINT AND GO but after WATCHING the GO ROCK GO ROCK PAINTING on Social media I REALIZED that I NEEDED CERTAIN TYPES OF PAINT.

      Which EXPLAINS WHY the ROCK I PAINTED that I left outside was RUINED AFTER IT GOT WET with the RAIN.

      LOOKING UP WHAT YOU NEED will HELP YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED to DO IT.

      

      

You can still ENJOY IT but....

     If you STARVE yourself to lose weight but then after you lose it you go back to eating the same way then you gain more weight then you were before because you were so STARVING.

     If you are SAVING MONEY then remember  that you can still spend a little cash for something but you CAN'T SPEND MORE than you NORMALLY HAVE BEEN.

     When your house GETS FULL of things you have bought over your life's journey then you KNOW that you CANT KEEP BUYING things even if you LIKE THEM because you have NO WHERE TO PUT IT.

    When you REALIZE that the CHOICES YOU MAKE are YOUR CHOICE ALONE then just make sure that you ENJOY A LITTLE and STICK TO YOUR STANDARDS to STAY ON TRACK.

     Sometimes you just have to CHANGE what you USED TO DO so that THINGS CAN POSITIVELY CHANGE like YOU WANT THEM TO. 

     You can ENJOY IT if you WOULD APPRECIATE ENJOYING WHATEVER YOU DO HAVE.

     Even if your glass is half full it can still QUENCH YOUR THIRST if YOU TAKE A DRINK.

     

LEARNING takes DOING something so you can LEARN something

     If you never TRY to DO IT then you WON'T KNOW if you CAN DO IT.

     So if you want to at least KNOW if you CAN DO IT then TRY IT so that YOU WILL KNOW if you CAN DO IT. 

     If you always wanted to LEARN SOMETHING you CAN'T SAY that you WOULD but you just CAN'T with total HONESTY if you NEVER TRIED TO DO IT.

     If you want to KNOW if you are GOOD AT COOKING then you HAVE TO COOK before you will KNOW if YOU CAN COOK GOOD FOOD.

     And even when you THINK that you are PAST THE TIME TO DO IT just remember that it is ONLY TOO LATE IF YOU DON'T DO IT.

     You LEARN what you ACTUALLY TAKE THE TIME TO DO and whatever you choose TO DO IS UP TO YOU.

     If you WON'T TRY IT then ADMIT that YOU DON'T WANT TO and choose to DO WHAT is IMPORTANT TO YOU.

     Lots of people may try to get you to DO WHAT THEY DO but LET THEM BE THEM and YOU BE YOU. 

      But you REALIZE that LEARNING what is IMPORTANT TO YOU is YOU LEARNING what YOU NEED TO LEARN to be the BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE.

     

     

PICK A HABIT YOU WANT then ENJOY DOING IT

       If you WANT GOOD HABITS then PICK a GOOD HABIT that YOU WANT and START DOING IT WHENEVER YOU CAN.

       Every day you will have things you ENJOYED DOING but unfortunately you WON'T ENJOY EVERY MOMENT.

      At the END OF EVERY DAY take a moment to LIST THREE POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT THAT DAY that HAPPENED. 

      Then YOU WILL KNOW that at THE END OF EACH DAY there will be THREE POSITIVE THINGS that WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD about TODAY. 

      Those around you WILL NOTICE how much more PEACEFUL YOU ARE when you FIND A HABIT that BRINGS YOU PEACE OF MIND.

      And MAKE YOUR HABITS be ONLY WHAT YOU DECIDE no matter WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS would MAKE YOU HAPPY.

      EVERY PERSONAL HABIT that YOU HAVE during your LIFE'S JOURNEY will BRING YOU PEACE OF MIND whenever YOU DO IT.

     And the MORE GOOD HABITS YOU have well......the MORE HAPPIER YOU WILL BE.

      

     

It feels good when you are RIGHT but.....

       It FEELS good to be RIGHT but sometimes the RIGHT THING to do to have PEACE is to KNOW that you WERE RIGHT but KNOW That sometimes FIGHTING to PROVE that you WERE RIGHT is WRONG.

       THE Common PEACEFULNESS that you are FEELING because you WERE RIGHT could CAUSE EVERYONE UNHAPPINESS if you argue when you try to PROVE YOU WERE RIGHT. 

      All that REALLY MATTERS is that LUCKILY YOU WERE RIGHT and EVERYTHING TURNED OUT ALL RIGHT.

      Just TELL YOURSELF that YOU WERE RIGHT and if THEY took the time to see how things TURNED OUT then they would KNOW IT TOO.....HAHAHA 

       If you WON'T BE HAPPY unless YOU get CREDIT for EVERYTIME that you WERE RIGHT then ACCEPT that YOU WON'T BE HAPPY because.....  

      Most of the time YOU WONT GET CREDIT even though YOU WERE RIGHT, that's just life.

      But YOU KNOW and no matter if ANYONE ELSE NOTICES OR NOT....YOU WERE RIGHT and YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF for BEING RIGHT.

      

      

What are you waiting for?

      Do you think the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY is just going to drop in your LAP one day?

      Do you think the dream of things suddenly being TOTALLY PERFECT without YOU having to put in the HARD WORK is going TO JUST HAPPEN?

     BE HONEST with YOURSELF in life so you will HONESTLY KNOW that YOUR LIFES JOURNEY is DECIDED by the CHOICES YOU MAKE.

     If you WANT something to be YOUR REALITY then ASK YOURSELF what it WILL TAKE FROM YOU to HAVE IT.

     There will be SACRIFICES that you will HAVE TO MAKE and no matter what ANYONE ELSE TELLS you just STICK TO YOUR CHOICES.

     Because NO ONE but YOU KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT for YOURSELF and NO ONE BUT YOU CARES about how YOUR CHOICES IN LIFE CHOOSES YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY.

     Always remember that YOU MUST take care of YOURSELF because the truth is YOU MUST be able to take care of YOURSELF.

     

     

CHANGE the THOUGHT so things CAN CHANGE

      If you are watching your television and you DON'T like what's on that channel then WHAT DO YOU DO?

      You pick up the television remote and you CHANGE THE CHANNEL and you KEEP CHANGING until you FIND something you LIKE on a DIFFERENT CHANNEL then WATCH IT.

      If you are on a SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNEL and things POP UP that you DON'T LIKE then SWIPE IT until you FIND something on that you want to WATCH.

     The MORE TIMES that you KEEP CHANGING the television CHANNEL the MORE SHOWS that you will START going to MORE OFTEN because you ENJOYED THEM.

     The MORE TIMES that you KEEP SWIPING AWAY the NEGATIVE THINGS that POP UP and FIND POSITIVE ones the MORE TIMES the POSITIVE ones will POP UP on your FYP.

     You CAN FIND things you ENJOY WATCHING on your television if YOU LOOK FOR THEM.

     You CAN be INSPIRED by things on SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS if you SWIPE UNTIL YOU FIND SOMETHING INSPIRING TO WATCH.

      And if you WISH YOU SPENT MORE TIMES with those you LOVE then MAKE TIME TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM....JUST DO IT.

     TECHNOLOGY does what it wants but YOU DECIDE WHAT TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY THAT YOU CHOOSE TO USE.....the rest you JUST FLUSH IT.... and ONLY CHOOSE WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU. 

       

Thinking you remember then you realize you Forgot

       I know that I USED TO DO IT and I loved doing it but suddenly after years of not doing it I apparently forgot how to.

       It seems like if you did it often for years that any time you decide to do it again you COULD.

      But I am looking at the game I had played and it was a nice set of quality of game of it that my husband had bought me yet....

       Although it was made very beautifully and it looks exactly like the game me and my friends played for hours of fun yet I have NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY IT.

      It reminds me of the saying...

IF YOU DON'T USE IT you WILL LOSE IT.

     I know many people who by school rules they had to take a different language class in order to graduate but yet they don't remember any of that language today.

     Why if they got A'S in the class could they not remember?

     Well it's because they never said that language ever again and....If you DON'T USE IT then you LOSE IT and they LOST IT.

      My husband recently started studying Spanish and he enjoys going out to eat at a Mexican restaurant just to keep up with constantly repeatedly keeping up with hearing and talking to USE IT.

      Even though he hadn't learned all of the Spanish language totally he still enjoys trying.

     Is there anything that YOU STOPPED DOING that YOU SUDDENLY FORGOT how TO DO?

    Remember that if YOU DON'T USE IT then YOU WILL LOSE IT.

      

      

     

      

What happened may have happened but it DOESN'T DEFINE YOU

       If you keep THINKING about what HAPPENED it keeps it FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

      And whatever you have FRESH ON YOUR MIND TODAY even if it HAPPENED YEARS AGO will decide YOUR FEELINGS TODAY.

      So if something HAPPENED that has HURT YOU then REMEMBER that you will at the time FEEL HURT EVERYTIME that you have it FRESH ON YOUR MIND.

      You may not have had any WAY TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING the first time but TODAY you can LEARN what you NEED TO then...

      .....take that PAINFUL EXPERIENCE and JUST FLUSH IT out of YOUR MIND so it CAN'T HURT YOU TODAY.

      And it may CONTINUE to try to GRAB YOUR  ATTENTION over and over again but REMEMBER.....

     .....the SECOND it POPS UP IN YOUR MIND then.....IMMEDIATELY....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so it CAN'T KEEP HURTING YOU. 

     Things HAPPEN during your LIFES JOURNEY and sometimes you have GOOD DAYS and sometimes you have a BAD DAY....THAT'S JUST LIFE.

     Our minds have an ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS and WE GET TO CHOOSE which THOUGHTS WE CHOOSE TO THINK ABOUT.....

    .... and WE CHOOSE which THOUGHTS we FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THEM AT ALL!  🚽 JUST FLUSH IT 😳 

     

     

     

  

Make what counts truly important and enjoy it

     When you were a toddler you couldn't wait to ride a bike like your older siblings as you speeded along with them on your cool bike with training wheels.

     Although you had excitement about one day being old enough one day and be riding a bike like theirs you still had a blast riding the bike you did have.

     You might dream about what you plan to do one day then as you get older and experience life that you may actually decide that you no longer want to do it anymore.

     Because the truth is that you really won't know what you truly want to do until you actually learn enough to truly know.

      Acting too soon can keep you from seeing what you would have seen if you looked for a while before you decided or.....

    ....You could move too slow by looking too hard that by the time you figure it out you missed out.

      Your life's journey will be full of lessons and experiences that you will learn from as you grow. 

       But if something is really important to you then no matter how hard it is to get..... you will do it because it is important to you. 

      But learn how to not waste a moment of your time, money or energy on anyone or anything if it is not important to you.

      Because it would be a waste of your precious time that can and should only be used for what is important to you or someone you love.

      To enjoy life you have to enjoy it while you are living it on both the good days and the bad days.

      

     

LIFE is LIFE so ADJUST as you GO

      If you ASSUME that your LIFE'S JOURNEY will always be HOLLY JOLLY all the time you will be DISAPPOINTED.

     Because REAL LIVES have REAL PROBLEMS no matter WHO YOU ARE nor how HARD YOU WORKED....LIFE is just YOUR JOURNEY.

     And THEN YOU REALIZE that the ONLY WAY TO ENJOY LIFE is to ENJOY IT WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

     We all ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE to LIVE and if you LEARN how to ACCEPT and BE THANKFUL  for the LIFE you have been given you will ADJUST AS YOU GO.

    Like the plaque on my wall says...

I asked God for all things that I might ENJOY LIFE. He gave me LIFE that I might ENJOY all things.

    If you want PEACE OF MIND then LEARN how to take the NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES on your  LIFE'S  JOURNEY and LEARN what you NEED TO then...

     .....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

ACCEPTING IT doesn't mean that.....

     Just because you ACCEPT what has happened doesn't mean that you AGREE with what has happened.

     It just means that LIFE IS LIFE and the ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE is full of UPS and DOWNS as well as TWISTS and TURNS.

     Which is why the church sign I saw taught me to ACCEPT IT then JUST FLUSH IT out of my mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN.

     The church sign said....

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

      Because no matter what you do LIFE is full of CHALLENGES that you will have to FACE because that is LIFE.

      Some people FACE MORE PROBLEMS than others do but that is just LIFE and we all have to ADJUST to ENJOY LIFE while we are LIVING IT.

     WASTING your LIFE COMPLAINING about all the CHALLENGES that you have FACED just keeps it FRESH ON OUR MIND.

     So take the PAINFUL EXPERIENCES you are FACING and LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO from them then....JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

    Because for you to HAVE PEACE OF MIND you have to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind so PEACE OF MIND will have ROOM to GET IN. 

     

Getting REAL with YOURSELF means....

    If you are HONEST with YOURSELF then you will HONESTLY KNOW what is THE TRUTH so you will KNOW WHAT IS REAL.

     If you PRETEND that something NEGATIVE that is HAPPENING ISN'T REAL then you could GET HURT by WHAT IS HAPPENING.

     BEING HONEST MAY HURT but you will KNOW so that you can PLAN to have the BEST OUTCOME DESPITE what is HAPPENING.

     When you are YOUNG you ASSUME that everything is just FUN but the OLDER you get you REALIZE that LIFE is HARDER than YOU THOUGHT.

     When you KNOW WHAT YOU GOT then you can USE WHAT YOU GOT to GET THROUGH the ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE.

     Because whether you WANT TO KNOW IT OR NOT you have to GO WITH THE FLOW and BEND LIKE A PRETZEL to ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

     As long as YOU ARE HONEST WITH YOURSELF then YOU WILL FIND a way to MAKE IT WORK. 

    

     

Just because you THINK YOU SHOULD is.....

      What YOU DECIDE is based on more than ONE THING because YOUR DECISION is based on YOUR ENTIRE LIFES EXPERIENCES. 

      Just because you GREW UP in the SAME TOWN as someone it doesn't mean that YOU BOTH GREW UP THE SAME. 

      Just remember that if you keep CHANGING to PLEASE OTHERS before YOU know it YOU will FORGET YOURSELF. 

      And at the end of the day YOU want to be PROUD of WHAT YOU DID TODAY. 

      FOLLOWING what YOU KNOW is RIGHT DESPITE what anyone else says means at the end of the day YOU will be PROUD that YOU DID what was RIGHT.

      Remember that CHOOSING to follow the WORN OUT path may mean that it is WORN OUT because.....

     ...... IT lead to a DEAD END and everyone traveled twice across it to GO a DIFFERENT DIRECTION. 

       At the end of the day will YOU be PROUD of everything YOU DID and SAID TODAY?

Being HAPPY takes FINDING things that you are THANKFUL FOR

      If you are WAITING TO BE HAPPY after you REACHED what you THOUGHT would MAKE YOU HAPPY then....

      How will you FEEL if you WORK REALLY HARD but you DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING that you DREAMED OF for YOUR HARD WORK?

      There will be LOTS OF WORK that it will take to REACH ANYTHING but even if you DON'T REACH IT then.....

     Then you SHOULD have many HAPPY THOUGHTS about everything that YOU DID DO to TRY to GET IT because YOU WORKED HARD. 

      YOUR PRIDE is based on YOUR CHOICES about DOING WHAT IS NECESSARY not on ONLY IF YOU WON OR NOT.

      Doing the RIGHT THING doesn't mean you will ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT it means that you SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF for DOING THE RIGHT THING.

      YOUR PERCEPTION of WHO YOU ARE is based on whether YOU ARE PROUD OF YOURSELF for EVERYTHING YOU CHOOSE TO DO. 

      At the END OF THE DAY will you be PROUD of everything YOU DID AND SAID TODAY?

      

       

      

All you can do is LISTEN even when you REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND

     Just because you have no way to actually take care of the circumstances they are facing you can HELP them by LISTENING.

     They may only need a MOMENT to LISTEN TO THEMSELVES as they TELL you their circumstances to be able to UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN FIX IT.

     They were just OVERWHELMED by the circumstances that they were facing and COULDN'T THINK CLEARLY enough to FIGURE IT OUT.

     But as they TOLD you they began to ACCEPT the circumstances and then they could JUST FLUSH IT out of their mind and then THEY FIGURED IT OUT.

     They just needed to SAY IT to be able to JUST FLUSH IT so PEACE OF MIND would have ROOM to GET IN.

    Take the TIME TO LISTEN to them so they can be able to JUST FLUSH IT and THINK CLEARLY and they will FIGURE IT OUT on THEIR OWN.

Of course I excitedly waited to see who would WIN SURVIVORS TONIGHT but....

     Every New Season of Shows I ENJOY WATCHING comes on and I spend ALL WEEK EVERY WEEK of the Season predicting the OUTCOME.

      There was a time when the SURVIVORS Show started that I had no interest in WATCHING..... then.....I GOT HOOKED on WATCHING it EVERY Season.

      At first I  saw a bunch of people WHO LIED ON EVERY SHOW. 

      I DIDN'T see why someone WHO LIED TO EVERYONE would possibly DESERVE A MILLION DOLLARS FOR BEING A GOOD LIAR.

      I DIDN'T see why those that were GOOD AT CHALLENGES would DESERVE A MILLION DOLLARS instead of the ALWAYS HONEST PLAYER.

     It TOOK ME FIVE SEASONS before when SURVIVORS WAS ON everyone knew to LEAVE ME ALONE so I COULD WATCH EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

     And I mean EVERY MINUTE OF IT because OUT OF THE BLUE a SIMPLE CONVERSATION can happen QUIETLY 🤫  And it CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.

      TONIGHT is the Finale of SURVIVORS 50 which was FULL OF ONLY PAST PLAYERS THROUGHOUT the different seasons.

      They let famous people and fans come up with UNIQUE IDEAS that would AFFECT the ENTIRE RULES and it has been an AWESOME 50TH SHOW to ENJOY WATCHING. 

      There are MANY PLAYERS THAT I LOVED that have already had their TORCH SNUFFED but to ALL OF THEM I want to say THANK YOU FOR PLAYING AGAIN FOR US ALL.

     I DON'T  KNOW THEM but they have BROUGHT ME MANY YEARS of FUN AWAY FROM MY REGULAR LIFE.

      And sometimes they BROUGHT ME PEACE OF MIND at a time when I was SURROUNDED BY CHAOS and when I was WATCHING THEM the CHAOS WENT AWAY.

     You ALL DIDN'T WIN SURVIVORS when YOU PLAYED but YOU ALL BROUGHT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE PEACE OF MIND EVERY TIME YOU SHOWED UP ON OUR TELEVISIONS.

     And although it AINT A MILLION DOLLARS....it is MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF SMILES you BROUGHT TO US ALL. 

     THANK YOU ALL and I will see you TONIGHT AT 8:00 TO SEE WHO WON SURVIVORS 50.🤔

      

     

     

I BELIEVE that eventually we know what we want so....CHOOSE WISELY

      You LEARN AS YOU GO through Life but at some point you get older and REALIZE that you have to DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT so that you can WORK YOUR WAY TO GET THERE.

      When you are a young adult you LOOK FORWARD to being ABLE to TRY MANY THINGS and you don't STRESS ABOUT IT you just ENJOY DOING something different.

      When you get a little older you have LEARNED a few things by now so you CONSIDER the GOOD PARTS and the BAD PARTS before you DECIDE if you should do it.

      Once you become a PARENT you have to really THINK about not only the GOOD and BAD PARTS but is it WORTH THE MONEY on a tighter budget.

      Then when you become a Grandparent you ALWAYS CHOOSE what your GRANDKIDS would ENJOY DOING because making your GRANDKIDS HAPPY makes YOU HAPPY.

      You get to CHOOSE but how OLD you are seems to AFFECT YOUR WAY OF THINKING.

      You get to CHOOSE so THINK BEFORE YOU DECIDE because once YOU DO IT then you will have to pay the CONSEQUENCES for WHAT YOU CHOSE TO DO.

      

     

Did you GET MOVING or CONSTANTLY KEEP SCROLLING?

       When I was young CHILDREN WENT OUTSIDE and PLAYED but today they SIT IN THEIR ROOMS ALONE and SCROLL ON THE INTERNET. 

      When I was young EVERY FAMILY MEMBER waited for the WEEKEND NEWSPAPER because EVERYONE LIKED ONE PART OR ANOTHER PART of it.

      But NOWADAYS we are EACH LOST ON OUR PHONES ALONE CLICKING from one thing to another and WHO KNOWS WHAT POPS UP trying to GRAB ANYONE'S ATTENTION.

      I BELIEVE that people KNOW THEY NEED HUMAN TIMES because the INTERNET can KEEP US LOST and WE FORGET TO GROW AS A HUMAN.

     INSTEAD of SCROLLING THROUGH CYBERSPACE I THINK that EVERYONE will eventually MAKE PLANS to MEET UP with a real HUMAN BEING to ENJOY BEING HUMAN with them.

     I THINK SOON.... GOOD OLD BOARD GAMES with OTHER HUMANS will BE COMMON AGAIN.

      INSTEAD of GETTING A TEXT to SAY HELLO SOON.... they will MEET UP IN PERSON to SAY HELLO.

     What do YOU MISS MOST about the GOOD OLD DAYS BEFORE THE INTERNET CAME?

     What BOARD GAME WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY if someone WOULD PLAY WITH YOU?

     

     

       

The DISTRACTION from the WIND can DISTRACT YOU

      As we were heading outside to leave to do errands I was GREETED BY THE WIND and it GAVE me an INSTANT WAKE UP FEELING.

     And that was definitely a nice start to getting MOTIVATED to get my errands done today.

     I always make a LIST starting from everything that MUST GET DONE being DONE FIRST.

     Too many times if you DONT DO IT FIRST then something always happens that CHANGES WHAT YOU CAN DO at any moment.

    And if you DO WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT FIRST then no matter what happens you at least GOT DONE what was MOST IMPORTANT.

     What YOU DO is UP TO YOU so if YOU CHOOSE TO NOT DO IT then ADMIT that YOU CHOSE NOT TO DO IT FIRST so that is WHY IT ISNT DONE. 

     Your FIRST CHOICE should be WHAT YOU MAKE SURE YOU DO FIRST.

     What do you need DONE FIRST?
