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?
