Don't say it just because you think you should, be HONEST

    If you don't like it then don't tell them that you like it, be HONEST.

   If you don't agree with them then don't tell them that you agree.

   Just because someone else is doing it doesn't mean that it is the right thing to do.

   You don't have to try to make them see your point of view just don't let them distort your point of view.

   Be HONEST with yourself and make sure you stick to what you believe in.

   If you keep changing to please OTHERS before you know it you will do things that you know just ain't right.

  At the end of the day all that matters is that you are proud of yourself.

   Set standards for yourself that you won't cross no matter what anyone else does.

  Karma is real and your karma is based on what you do, their karma is based on what they do.

   Be the best you that you can be by doing only what is best for you.

   

Don't make a TEMPORARY problem cause you PERMANENT problems

    As you are on your Life's Journey you will encounter obstacles along your way.

   The ROLLERCOASTER of LIFE is full of ups and downs as well as twists and turns.

    Sometimes you will have to deal with unpleasant TEMPORARY challenges.

   How you react to the challenges will determine how it will impact your Life's Journey.

   Don't turn a TEMPORARY challenge into a PERMANENT problem you will have to deal with for a LIFETIME.

   When you are faced with a negative situation you have to STOP and THINK about what your ACTIONS will bring BEFORE you REACT.

   Because once you REACT you will have to LIVE with the CONSEQUENCES that your ACTIONS will have, you can't take it back. 

  Don't turn a TEMPORARY problem into a PERMANENT problem you will have to deal with.

  STOP and THINK before you do something or say something that you will REGRET for a LIFETIME.

Be your normal self

    You are who you are unless you CHANGE to please OTHERS.

   What makes you UNIQUE is the TRUE you that makes you who you are.

   If you keep CHANGING to please OTHERS before you know it you won't even know who you are.

   You can't please everyone but you can please yourself by being the best YOU that you can be.

   If we were all the SAME then we wouldn't have anything NEW to talk about.

   If we all thought the SAME way we wouldn't have NEW things to ENJOY.

   You do you and let them do them and we all can enjoy being UNIQUELY ourselves.

   Stop trying to be just like everyone else and allow yourself to be UNIQUELY you. 

   Our DIFFERENCES are what makes us UNIQUELY different.

   It's NORMAL to be UNIQUELY YOU.

It's a family reunion at the flea market

    Walking around the flea market is a blast from your past.

    Many buried memories pop up front and Center grabbing your attention as they are triggered by objects that one of your relatives used to have.

   The moment you see the lamp that your Aunt had in her home, you relive memories of time you spent at her house.

   Then just a few tables down you see the dishes just like the ones your family had and you are transported back to memories of dinners with your family.

   As you walk through the flea market it's like having a family reunion as you relive the memories of special moments with your family that are triggered by objects from your past.

  You don't have to buy any of the objects to enjoy treasured memories either, they are free to ENJOY.

   The next time you are missing your family you can go to the flea market and have a family reunion even though it is only in your mind.

A lifetime of collecting is a lot of collected stuff

    Every few years something new catches your interest.

    What you liked back when you were a child you outgrow.

  Even what you liked when you became a young adult changes as time goes by.

   Every few years what you used to collect gets pushed to the side and you start collecting something totally different.

   Now after you have collected for decades you realize you have way to many things that you have collected.

   Now all your collections are collecting dust making dusting something you dread doing.

   When this happens it's time to pick a couple special things from each of your past collections and get rid of the rest so you won't mind dusting.

  Unfortunately it won't be easy nor will it happen in an instant.

   But one collection at a time you can enjoy looking at them all before you pick out your favorites to keep.

   And then pack up the rest then drop off the box at Goodwill so you can't change your mind and put them back.

  

Do you like to see rainbows?

    You can not see a rainbow without enduring the rain.

   You may not like the rain storms but you know that we need the rain.

   It's like Ying and Yang, you have to take the good with the bad.

   To get what you need you have to take what you get and make it work.

    In Life you have to ADJUST as you go through your Life's Journey to ENJOY LIFE while you are living it.

   When life gives you lemons turn them into lemonade to quench your thirst.

   You may not like getting wet in a rainstorm but we need the rain so you have to be thankful for the rain. 

   Remember only when it rains will you have a chance to relax and ENJOY a rainbow.

  

   

You are who you choose to be

    Although you are influenced by your family, you are who you choose to be.

   Although you are influenced by your friends, you are who you choose to be.

   Although you are influenced by your environment, you are who you choose to be.

  Although you are influenced by your circumstances, you are who you choose to be.

  Although you face many challenges on your Life's Journey, you are who you choose to be.

  You choose whether you are an honest person or not just like you choose what you are going to eat.

  You are who you are because you choose to be who you are.

  You can't be comfortable in the skin you are in unless you are comfortable with what you do in the skin you are in.

  At the end of the day all that matters is that you are proud of who you are.
