Making NO DECISION YET means you have TIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW to REACT

      The MOMENT that something HAPPENS that is NEGATIVE TOWARDS YOU then YOU KNOW that it will MAKE YOU ANGRY.

      That is a NATURAL REACTION when ANYTHING NEGATIVELY HAPPENS TO ANYONE.

      But HOW YOU REACT to WHAT HAS HAPPENED to YOU is UP TO YOU.

     If YOU REACT NEGATIVELY TO IT then YOU KNOW that YOUR NEGATIVE REACTION is DEFINITELY MAKING THINGS MORE NEGATIVE for EVERYONE. 

      If YOU STOP for a MOMENT AND THINK BEFORE YOU REACT then YOU WILL REALIZE that if YOU WANT the BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME to ANYTHING then DON'T DO ANYTHING ANGRILY.

      Sometimes it is BEST TO SAY NOTHING AT ALL and then sometimes YOUR POSITIVE REACTION could bring a POSITIVE OUTCOME despite everything that is happening.

       EVERY THOUGHT IN YOUR MIND can DECIDE HOW YOU SEE THINGS which DETERMINES HOW YOU WILL REACT.

       If YOU WANT A POSITIVE OUTCOME then THINK POSITIVELY or...... 

       It's YOUR CHOICE so CHOOSE WISELY and if a NEGATIVE THOUGHT POPS UP IN YOUR MIND then JUST FLUSH IT.

      

ONE MINUTE YOU LIKE It the NEXT MINUTE YOU DON'T

      Just because YOU LOVED the TASTE OF IT then OUT OF THE BLUE YOU NO LONGER ENJOY THE TASTE OF IT is MORE COMMON than YOU THINK.

     When my Uncle and I try COOKING some OLD FOODS FROM OUR CHILDHOOD we are surprised that they DON'T TASTE as GOOD as WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD..

     When things we HAD DONE MANY TIMES BEFORE GO WRONG IN LIFE we REALIZE that WE DID WHAT WORKED BEFORE yet for SOME REASON it DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

     The FUN I had DOING CERTAIN EVENTS when I was in MY TWENTIES NOW gives ME a HEADACHE IF I TRIED TO DO IT TODAY. 

      And it TURNS OUT that the OLDER I GET the MORE IMPORTANT THINGS I USED TO DO is NOW in the I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYMORE LIST.

      When YOU ARE YOUNG YOU are FULL OF ENERGY and YOU END UP USING YOUR ENERGY TO DO FUN EXPERIENCES AND ADVENTURES.

    But THE OLDER YOU GET the MORE YOU REALIZE that the MORE REST YOU NEED TO GET TO STAY HEALTHY.

     LIFE is FULL OF EXPERIENCES but SOME THINGS YOU GOT TO DO THEM at THE RIGHT TIME OF YOUR LIFE to BE ABLE TO DO THEM AT ALL.

      REMEMBER.....YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU WANT TO DO IT BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT WHILE YOU ARE ABLE TO but if YOU NO LONGER WANT TO DO IT THEN DON'T DO IT.

      WE EACH ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE so ENJOY EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU HAVE DOING WHAT YOU CAN DO WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT.

      

     

      

     

      

Some people ONLY TALK but NEVER MOVE

      I have a friend who has been DESCRIBING for YEARS about DOING SOMETHING ABOUT GETTING IT DONE.

     UNFORTUNATELY my friend DIDN'T DO ANYTHING so..... NOTHING AT ALL GOT DONE.

     I was trying to DECIDE if I should TELL Her that she has TALKED ABOUT IT for YEARS.

     Or should I just be quiet and just let her TELL ME again about WHAT SHE PLANNED TO DO.

     Have you known someone who ONLY TALKED but NEVER MOVED?

     Just because you are a GOOD SPEAKER it has nothing to do with YOU BEING GOOD AT GETTING STUFF DONE.

     In THE END I DECIDED to just BE A GOOD FRIEND and take my time with her and JUST LISTEN AND ENCOURAGE her.

      I REALIZED that she had been TELLING HERSELF TO DO IT FOR YEARS but UNFORTUNATELY it DIDN'T GET THEM UP TO GET UP AND DO IT.

      So CERTAIN TIMES IN LIFE when YOU KNOW that YOU WISH YOU COULD MOTIVATE THEM the TRUTH IS SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN'T. 

      If THEY WON'T LISTEN then STOP SAYING IT AND BREATH 🌬️ As YOU LISTEN it will HELP THEM to JUST FLUSH IT out of their mind. 

    

     

     

     

Everyone DESERVES THE TRUTH even though the TRUTH CAN HURT

     You always want to BE TRUTHFUL with everyone even though THE TRUTH can BE PAINFUL.

     You CAN'T TELL THEM that IT SHOULDN'T HURT THEM if WHAT IS HAPPENING is HURTING THEM.

     You CAN TELL THEM that by BEING POSITIVE MEANS that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS they CAN HAVE a POSITIVE OUTLOOK through their STRUGGLES.

     You CAN'T TELL THEM that someone WILL ALWAYS HELP THEM because THE TRUTH is there is NO GUARANTEE that ANYONE WILL HELP THEM.

      If YOU KNOW that YOU SHOULD WARN THEM then BE HONEST WITH THEM and WARN THEM even though YOUR WARNING may NOT BE what THEY WANT TO HEAR.

     Even though YOU KNOW that THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION to at least BE HONEST WITH THEM.

     If YOU DON'T SAY WHAT YOU THINK YOU SHOULD SAY and one day YOU DON'T GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO SAY IT...... YOU WILL REGRET IT.

      Most of the OLDER PEOPLE you will  meet will TELL YOU that what THEY REGRET MOST is THE THINGS THEY DIDN'T DO OR DIDN'T SAY.

      If it is IMPORTANT TO YOU then YOU KNOW that it's IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO DO even though it WOULD BE EASIER if someone else was HELPING YOU.

     The TRUTH CAN HURT but the ONLY WAY for YOU to BE HONEST is by BEING HONEST even WHEN IT HURTS.

       

     

I know I SHOULDN'T have LAUGHED but......

       Have you ever watched someone you know FALL and you AUTOMATICALLY started LAUGHING?

       You KNOW that YOU WEREN'T LAUGHING because they FELL and COULD HAVE been HURT.

        You WERE NOT just LAUGHING UNCONTROLLABLY because you are just MEAN, you are JUST HUMAN and as a HUMAN you NATURALLY AUTOMATICALLY LAUGHED.

        I still REMEMBER the DAY 30 YEARS AGO when I was OUTSIDE visiting with my sister when she came to my town to VISIT me.

       It was a dark evening when WE HEARD a NOISE of what WE THOUGHT was SOMEONE HEADING TOWARDS OUR DIRECTION.

      Then OUT OF FEAR I RAN as FAST as I COULD INSIDE MY HOME and SLAMMED THE DOOR TO BE SAFE.

       BUT as I WAS LOCKING MY FRONT DOOR I was SHOCKED when MY SISTER was BANGING SAYING LET ME IN.

       As I AM WRITING this blog about it I CAN'T HELP BUT START LAUGH OUT LOUD.

       Now DON'T GET ME WRONG I CERTAINLY WOULD have DONE ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to SAVE MY SISTER.

        But OUT OF PURE FEAR I RAN AUTOMATICALLY TO SAVE MYSELF.

      There is NO DOUBT that MY SISTER KNEW I WOULD ALWAYS SAVE HER.

       But she ALSO KNEW that MY FEAR WAS REAL at THAT MOMENT so SHE FORGAVE ME.

       

YOU get to ADJUST AS YOU GO

       If YOU like the color BLUE then YOU will OWN MANY BLUE THINGS. 

      If YOU DON'T like SEAFOOD then YOU WON'T BE EATING ANY SEAFOOD when YOU go out.

      If YOU LOOK for the POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION then YOU will always SEE THE POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION.

      If YOU LOOK for TROUBLE..... then YOU KNOW that YOU SCREW YOURSELF as YOU SET YOURSELF UP FOR TROUBLING TIMES.

      If YOU want to BE SUCCESSFUL then LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN throughout your LIFE'S JOURNEY so YOU WILL KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW to SUCCEED.

     If YOU FIGURE OUT ONE DAY that in the END YOU NEED TO ADJUST to WHAT YOU HAD PLANNED then.... ADJUST.

       If YOU have to WALK AWAY from PEOPLE WHO ARE TOXIC TO YOU then .....GET AWAY FROM THEM NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE 

      If EVERYTHING that YOU had PLANNED turns out to BE NO LONGER WHAT YOU WANT then ..... ADJUST.

        Because WE ALL ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE and if YOU WANT TO ENJOY LIFE YOU HAVE TO ENJOY IT by ADJUSTING AS YOU GO through LIFE.

       It would BE NICE if EVERYTHING WAS ALWAYS PERFECT but NOTHING IS PERFECT.

     So YOU JUST HAVE TO ADJUST AS YOU GO so YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT that YOU DO HAVE.

      

Make YOUR CHOICE then BE SAFE if YOU DO IT

      You have YOUR OPINIONS and also OTHER PEOPLE have THEIR OPINIONS.

      You may be a lot like EACH OTHER yet WHAT YOU SEE can be TOTALLY DIFFERENT than WHAT THEY SEE.

      What WORKS FOR YOU may NOT WORK FOR ANYONE ELSE.

      And what WORKS FOR THEM has NOTHING TO DO with WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS FOR YOU.

      As a FRIEND or a RELATIVE YOU want to SHARE YOUR OPINION but DON'T EXPECT them TO DO WHATEVER YOU TELL THEM TO DO.

     Just SHARE YOUR OPINION so that YOU will ALWAYS KNOW that YOU TOLD THEM.

      AND ALWAYS BE THERE to SUPPORT them if THEY GET HURT DOING IT.....NOT BE THERE to tell them SEE I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT.

     BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF that there was MANY TIMES when SOMEONE TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT yet.....  YOU DID IT ANYWAY.

      BUT...... If SOMEONE WARNS YOU ABOUT DOING IT......AT LEAST TAKE A MOMENT to CONSIDER WHY THEY SAID IT TO YOU.

       Most of the time THEY ONLY TELL YOU because THEY LOVE YOU and THEY WANT TO PROTECT YOU.

      I an a GRANDMA and I KNOW my GRANDKIDS think I JUST SIMPLY WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING.

     WHEN YOU ARE OLD there have been DECADES OF TIME that YOU EVENTUALLY SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE GET HURT DOING THINGS that a YOUNGER PERSON HASN'T SEEN YET.

     BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT that when YOU WERE YOUNGER YOU DID PLENTY OF THINGS that YOU WERE TOLD that YOU SHOULDN'T DO.

      JUST TAKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME and DECIDE if YOU REALLY WILL BE SAFE DOING IT..... BEFORE YOU EVER DO ANYTHING. 

    What YOU DO is UP TO YOU and YOU WILL ALWAYS PAY THE CONSEQUENCES FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU CHOOSE TO SAY OR DO.

      

How can we get anyone to learn from.....

   There will be many WORDS OF WISDOM we will want to SHARE throughout our LIFE'S JOURNEY but will ANYONE REALLY LISTEN?

    If you TRY TO SHARE your experience people look at you as if they are LISTENING but you are NOT SURE if they are really LISTENING.

     Whether you KNOW they will LISTEN you AUTOMATICALLY feel like you should at least SAY IT just in case they MIGHT HEAR IT.

     Truth is if YOU DON'T SAY IT to them then YOU WILL REGRET IT if THEY DID IT and YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM that THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

     So even though they PROBABLY WON'T LISTEN just SAY IT so you will at least KNOW that YOU TOLD THEM.

     You may NOT KNOW but if YOUR WORDS make a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE to ANYONE they can ONLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE if YOU SAY THEM OUT LOUD.

     

  

GETTING IT means DOING what you GOT TO DO to GET IT

        If you want to BUILD IT then you must first STOP..... and figure out what you will NEED TO BUILD IT.

       If you want to COOK IT then you must STOP..... and figure out what you will NEED TO COOK IT.

      If you want to CHANGE IT then you must STOP..... and figure out what you NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY so THINGS CAN CHANGE.

     If you want to DO SOMETHING to GET IT DONE then STOP..... and DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO to GET IT DONE.

      If YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO then YOU CAN STOP STRESSING about it because IT WILL BE DONE ALREADY so you can JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind.

      LIFE is a JOURNEY and YOU LEARN AS YOU GO.

WEATHER is WHAT IT IS so ENJOY THE WEATHER or AVOID IT

      You can MAKE PLANS for a VACATION for NEXT YEAR but by NEXT YEAR you MAY THINK DIFFERENTLY.

     You can MAKE PLANS while YOU THINK the TEMPERATURE WILL BE PERFECT yet we all know that MOST WEATHER WATCHERS are USUALLY WRONG.

     If you MAKE PLANS TO GRILL OUT you ALSO need to MAKE PLANS for what you will do if it is raining outside that day.

     If you BUY TICKETS to FLY SOMEWHERE make sure you SAVE YOUR PATIENCE because sometimes RESERVATIONS GET DELAYED.

     If you SCHEDULE PLANS WITH OTHERS make sure EVERYONE WORKS TOGETHER so that YOUR PLANS WORK FOR EVERYONE.

     LIFE is like a ROLLERCOASTER and ROLLERCOASTERS are FULL of CHAOTIC MOMENTS but it is WORTH THE RIDE. 😀

STOP ...LOOK BEFORE YOU REACT

      Your FIRST THOUGHT may NOT SHOW YOU exactly what YOU SHOULD DO.

      Your FIRST THOUGHT may be TOTALLY DIFFERENT if YOU KNEW EVERYTHING.

     Your FIRST THOUGHT may make YOU THINK that YOU SHOULD but if YOU REALLY KNEW THE FACTS then YOU MIGHT REALIZE that YOU ACTUALLY SHOULDN'T.

     TEN PEOPLE could SEE the SAME THING yet they COULD SEE DIFFERENT THINGS.

     That DOESN'T mean that SOME OF THEM WERE WRONG.....It just means that THEY EACH LOOKED AT IT and THEY EACH JUST SAW DIFFERENT THINGS.

      If YOU LOOK for TROUBLE then YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL FIND IT.

      If YOU LOOK FOR a POSITIVE PART then YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL FIND POSITIVE THINGS.

      LIFE is HOW YOU LOOK AT IT so KEEP LOOKING UNTIL YOU FIND the POSITIVE PARTS DURING YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY and YOU WILL FIND IT.

     AND..... when YOU SEE TROUBLE COMING then MOVE OUT OF THE WAY so YOU WON'T HIT THE TROUBLE HEAD ON.

      

If YOU DON'T LIKE IT then......

      Just because YOU DON'T LIKE IT has NOTHING to do with whether SOMEONE ELSE WILL LIKE IT.

      Just because YOU DON'T LIKE the TASTE of the FOOD has NOTHING to do whether it is a SPECIAL FOOD that OTHERS LOVE TO EAT.

      Just because YOU ARE NOT OUTGOING has NOTHING to do with PEOPLE WHO LOVE GOING OUT.

      LUCKILY.....WE ALL are FREE to DO WHATEVER WE CAN DO.....If WE CHOOSE TO.

      NOW..... that DOESN'T MEAN that YOU CAN ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU WANT but it DOES MEAN that YOU CAN DO IT if YOU CAN.

      And if it is SOMETHING YOU LOOK FORWARD TO DOING then JUST DO IT while YOU ARE STILL YOUNG ENOUGH TO DO IT.

       Because YOU WILL REGRET what YOU NEVER TRIED TO DO WHILE YOU CAN DO IT even though YOU REALLY WANTED TO DO IT.

       EVERYTHING YOU WILL REGRET DOING is EVERYTHING that YOU HAD PLANNED ON DOING so..... JUST DO IT.

      It's YOUR LIFE and WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE so ENJOY EVERY MOMENT THAT WE HAVE.

LOOKING IT UP keeps it in a WHAT HAVE I EVER LOOKED FOR FILE

      HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED something UP then you get ASKED TO SEE something LIKE IT on your GAMES, AI, GOOGLE and RELATED TYPE SUBJECTS over and over on the INTERNET?

      BEFORE YOU LOOK IT UP..... MAKE SURE that YOU WANT TO ALWAYS FOREVER KNOW THAT YOU LOOKED IT UP?

       YOUR ALGORITHM FOLLOWS YOU FOR EVER and it will always SUGGEST IT so that YOU KNOW IT REMEMBERS THAT YOU LOOKED AT something LIKE IT.

     I LOOKED UP different WAYS to make a TURKEY for WEEKS BEFORE THANKSGIVING and I STILL SEE RECIPES EVERYWHERE I go on the INTERNET.

     NOW I am CURIOUS if they will SHOW ME RECIPES ALL THE WAY THRU THANKSGIVING NEXT YEAR so I will have the receipt?

     EVERYTHING YOU DO THROUGHOUT CYBERSPACE INK IS PERMANENT INK. SO BEFORE YOU hit SEND remember that it's in PERMANENT INK.

    BUT..... ASKING HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE DOESN'T MAKE YOU A MILLIONAIRE. HAHAHA 🍀
