IF GIVEN A CHANCE WOULD they TAKE IT?

      If no one GIVES them A CHANCE then they DON'T HAVE A CHANCE.

      Someone has to GIVE THEM A CHANCE so they can HAVE A CHANCE. 

     It is the only way YOU can SEE if GIVEN A CHANCE WOULD THEY TAKE IT.

     We all know someone who is facing tough times and they just NEED to CATCH A BREAK.

     Sometimes it may be because they BLEW A CHANCE they HAD in the PAST BUT.... today if they were GIVEN A CHANCE THEY WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE IT.

    If YOU have A CHANCE to GIVE SOMEONE A CHANCE WOULD YOU?

   They may not take ADVANTAGE OF THE CHANCE but YOU will FEEL GOOD that YOU at least GAVE THEM A CHANCE.

     IF GIVEN A CHANCE TO HELP SOMEONE I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE THAT CHANCE.

    

     

Choose wisely

     ALL THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE you must PICK and CHOOSE what BATTLES are WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

    A war is comprised of MANY MANY small BATTLES that makes CHOOSING which BATTLES are WORTH FIGHTING FOR very important.

     Whether it is a WAR at WORK, A WAR IN your RELATIONSHIPS, there is a WAR to be WON in MANY AREAS on YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY.

     AND you won't WIN EVERY BATTLE so SAVE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY for the MOST IMPORTANT BATTLES.

    If it doesn't really matter then OBVIOUSLY it IS NOT a BATTLE THAT YOU NEED TO WASTE your TIME and ENERGY ON.

    WHAT is MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU is the MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE TO WIN.

     OUR new puppy has made us CHOOSE to let him GET AWAY with a LOT BUT....some THINGS he could be DESTRUCTIVE WITH we are WINNING THE BATTLE WITH. 

    SINCE NAPKINS AND SOCKS are CHEAP to REPLACE.....THOSE BATTLES WE LET HIM WIN.

    YOU DON'T have to WIN EVERY BATTLE to WIN THE WAR you just have to WIN THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES. 

     When you COMPRISE with OTHERS then EVERYONE CAN BE A WINNER.

    

You KNOW YOU BEST so what do YOU THINK YOU should do?

    At times it's HELPFUL to ASK SOMEONE THEIR OPINION, Because getting SUGGESTIONS on what YOU should do will give YOU A DIFFERENT VIEW to CONSIDER.

    EVERYONE has their OWN OPINIONS but at the end of the day the ONLY OPINION THAT MATTERS MOST IS YOURS.

    THE FACT IS that YOU KNOW YOU BEST so YOUR DECISIONS should be made BASED ON WHAT YOU KNOW is BEST FOR YOU.

    Sometimes on YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY YOU might make a WRONG DECISION but OUR MISTAKES in LIFE are sometimes A NECESSARY PART of OUR JOURNEY. 

     As long as YOU Did what you thought was BEST FOR YOU at the end of the day YOU WILL BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.

    EVERY DECISION YOU make MATTERS so CHOOSE WISELY because YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH the CONSEQUENCES for EVERY DECISION that YOU MAKE.

     KEEP IN MIND that Just because other people are doing it doesn't mean that it is the RIGHT THING for YOU TO DO.

    

    

    

    

WITHOUT EVEN SAYING a WORD

    Have you ever heard the phrase...A PICTURE is worth a THOUSAND WORDS?

    Have you ever heard the phrase.... ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER than WORDS?

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY A WORD for people to HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEARLY.

    When you walk in a room THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE let's everyone KNOW WHAT kind of MOOD YOU ARE IN. 

   When you LOOK IN THE MIRROR you can SEE WHAT OTHERS SEE.

   And TRUST ME WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY YOU DON'T LOOK GOOD.

   NO ONE WILL BELIEVE what YOU SAY AS YOU ARE DOING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU SAY THEY SHOULD DO.

   AND REMEMBER the phrase in the song...THAT IF YOU ARE HAPPY YOUR FACE WILL TRULY SHOW IT.

   WITHOUT SAYING A WORD THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE and YOUR ACTIONS SPEAKS VOLUMES.

   

A CHANGE is sometimes NECESSARY

    You may have spent a LIFETIME working TOWARDS A GOAL then SUDDENLY ONE DAY YOU REALIZE that TODAY your GOAL HAS CHANGED.

   It doesn't mean that you WASTED YOUR TIME working TOWARDS the GOAL YOU ONCE HAD, it just means your GOALS HAVE CHANGED.

   What you WANT when you are a TEENAGER CHANGES with TIME.

   What you THINK IS MOST IMPORTANT when you are MIDDLE-AGED CHANGES after DECADES OF LIVING.

   When you are OLD you realize that there isn't DECADES for you to WORK ON REACHING NEW GOALS 

    SO you LEARN TO MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT YOU DO HAVE and MAKE GOALS THAT WORK FOR YOU WHERE THINGS ARE FOR YOU TODAY.

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO STICK TO THE PLANS you MADE before you EXPERIENCED LIFE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LIVE LIFE TO LEARN WHAT is the BEST PLAN FOR YOU IN THE LONG RUN.

Just because SOMEONE or SOMETHING has ANGERED YOU is NO EXCUSE

    When you are ANGRY DON'T SPEW YOUR ANGER onto OTHERS.

    I AM SURE YOU KNOW THAT SPEWING YOUR ANGER ONTO OTHERS WON'T MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER. 

   BUT IT SURE DOES HURT those that YOU SPEW YOUR ANGER ON.

   ANGER IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SICK.

  YOU WOULDN'T SPREAD THE FLU TO OTHERS because you know it will MAKE INNOCENT PEOPLE SICK.

   Which IS WHY YOU SHOULDN'T SPEW YOUR ANGER ONTO OTHERS BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE THEM SICK.

   When you are ANGRY take WHATEVER ANGERED YOU and JUST FLUSH IT OUT OF YOUR MIND so IT CAN'T KEEP YOU SICK, NOR MAKE OTHERS SICK EITHER.

   On your LIFE'S JOURNEY you CAN'T PREVENT that there will be PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS THAT ANGER YOU.

    BUT YOU CAN PREVENT IT FROM DESTROYING YOU OR HURTING OTHERS by JUST FLUSHING IT OUT OF YOUR MIND.

   

   

   

There is a SMALL WINDOW OF TIME

     YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN THAT YOU TRIED but you COULDN'T DO IT when you ACTUALLY WAITED UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE to TRY.

   YOU CAN'T HONESTLY say that YOU DID YOUR BEST if you DIDN'T DO EVERYTHING THAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE 

   IF THE DEADLINE to have it DONE is at 12 NOON you CAN'T SHOW UP AT 3:00 PM and EXPECT THAT THE DEADLINE was for EVERYONE ELSE but YOU.

   YOU may have the most EXPERIENCE but when you are considered to POSSIBLY JOIN THEIR TEAM they are looking for a TEAM PLAYER.

    IF you DON'T SHOW UP ON TIME TO BE A TEAM PLAYER you SHOW THEM that you will not be a GOOD TEAMMATE.

   You get a lot more done with FIVE AVERAGE WORKERS who SHOW UP ON TIME EVERY DAY then you will with a GOOD LEADER THAT RARELY SHOWS UP TO LEAD THE TEAM.

   Although EXPERIENCE MATTERS, CONSISTENCY AND STAYING FOCUSED IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT TO HAVE A POSITIVE OUTCOME.
