A "jump start" may be all they need

If you buy a tire or a starter for someone to get their car on the road you will help in a way they appreciate as if you had bought them a new car. A kind fairly inexpensive gift to "jump start" them will be a gift that is priceless to getting not only their car but their life back on track. Most people only need a "jump start" to get set to face life's journey but without it they are stuck in a rut. Don't underestimate how you can impact someone with spending little to nothing.Your old lawnmower to someone who doesn't have one or just simply opening a door for someone who is struggling with their hands full will be appreciated more than you will ever know. Help "jump start" someone today.

Somethings duct tape can't fix

When you have a problem it is a natural response to look for the quickest solution possible. Putting a band aid on a cut that needs stitches is a temporary fix till you can see a doctor. Personally you may be putting band aids on things that need a more permanent solution. There are just somethings that quick fixes won't help for long. Take the time and energy to fix it so that it will not be a problem you will have to deal with down the road. Somethings duct tape can't fix and it will require you to seek out a permanent solution.

It's becoming an epidemic

If people would not let their anger boil over and spew on everyone and anyone that they come in contact with then anger wouldn't spread so rapidly becoming an epidemic. The anger you take out on others causes a domino effect as they (out of frustration) pass it on to those around them. It won't make you feel any better so why would you spew it on to others? Leave your frustration behind you and let the happiness from others spew on you and push your anger out of your mind.

Gas is not always the problem

I often wander when people say "I knew that was gonna happen" then why did they do it then? It is amazing to think that they knew deep down that it would turn out bad yet they chose to do it anyway. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again the same way and expect a different result. There was a time when someone who had a GUT FEELING did not question it they took it as a warning and walked away. We seem to be so worried about someone telling us what we can or can not do that we don't even listen to ourselves and we do it anyway. Stomach pains are not always Gas they are a WARNING.

Whenever, wherever, and to whomever

Remember the old saying "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"? It seems as if the people we interact with today either they didn't pay attention or never heard it at all. Nasty comments seem to spew out of their mouths as fast as it pops in their mind. We must all do our part to bring back basic compassion whenever, wherever, and to whomever we can. By showing therefore teaching others to be kind, considerate, and compassionate. We can plant seeds of Humanity to one day replace the inhumane treatment of others that we see has spread like an epidemic through society.

knocked down by unnecessary battles

There are some things that are worth fighting for and some things that are just not worth fighting for. If it is important enough to fight for then as long as you don't quit when the going gets tough then you will succeed. If it doesn't matter in the "big picture" for your future then you need to walk away to save your time and energy for what really matters. Fighting an uphill battle is hard enough without being held up or knocked down by unnecessary battles along the way. Lighten your load by letting go of things from your past that are weighing heavy on your mind.
