If You know it's TIME, you know

    If you see that you are headed the wrong way that leads to a Dead end then STOP and turn around.

   If you see TROUBLE coming then get out of the way so you don't get knocked down.

   If you realize that you made the wrong decision then STOP and do things DIFFERENTLY.

   If you KNOW then you KNOW what you need to do so you KNOW you have to JUST DO IT.

   If it is TIME for a CHANGE then does it matter what TIME it is?

   You may not like CHANGE but if things CHANGE then you have to make the necessary CHANGES, that's just Life.

   You can't get too comfortable in Life because Life is always CHANGING.

   You can't PRETEND that it IS what it ISN'T because it IS what it IS.

   Life is full of CHANGES and the sooner you make the CHANGES the sooner you will adapt to the CHANGES.

   If it is TIME for a CHANGE then you already KNOW it doesn't matter what TIME it is.

   

Do it when you know it is doable

    Obviously you CAN'T always DO whatever you want to DO, you can only DO what is DOABLE.

   You may have wanted to DO it twice a week but you should still be THANKFUL if you manage to DO it regularly at all.

   Accepting THINGS that you can not change is the only way to see THINGS for what they truly are so you know what THINGS that you have to WORK WITH.

   You DON'T have what you DON'T have.......... PERIOD. 

   You WON'T appreciate what you GOT if you DON'T even ACKNOWLEDGE what you GOT.

   Start by being HONEST with yourself about what YOU NEED to DO to make sure that you DO EVERYTHING that you CAN DO to be the BEST YOU, that you can be.

   When Life gives you nothing but LEMONS then LEARN how to make LEMONADE.

  Take your EXTRA LEMONADE and open a LEMONADE STAND.

   You CAN'T always DO what you WANT to DO but..... you CAN always DO what is DOABLE.

    

   

   

You can't change what happened but you can make sure you don't let it happen again

    You may have made the wrong decision but you know that you won't make that decision again.

    You may have chosen the wrong way but you definitely won't go that way again.

   You may have said the wrong thing but you can make sure that you say it differently next time.

   No one is perfect, we all make mistakes.

   As long as you admit the mistake you made you can learn from it and you can make sure you don't repeat it again.

   But don't judge yourself or anyone so harshly if they make a mistake.

   The first time you do anything it is a learning experience that you have to just learn as you go. 

   Now if you repeat it then it isn't a mistake it is a habit you have that you need to break.

   Don't blame it on the moon or you won't learn anything.

   You can't change what happened but you can make sure it doesn't happen again.

   

    

   

   

Everything has more than one possibility

    You can't predict exactly what will happen because not everything happens like you predicted.

   You have to keep an open mind that everything happens for a reason no matter if you understand the reason or not.

  It may feel like you have bad luck but one day you will see that you are so lucky it happened exactly the way it did because it could have been worse.

   Be patient and go with the flow and accept that everything happens for a reason.

  There are hard challenges that you have to face on your Life's Journey but being alive to face them is something you can be thankful for.

Standing on top let's you see what you accomplished

    When you reach your destination you can be thankful for how far you have come.

   After you celebrate making it you can reflect upon everything that you did to get there.

   Reaching where you want to be takes a lot of hard work to get there.

   All the challenges you had to endure were not all part of your plan but they were important parts that were necessary if you were going to make it there.

   If you wanted to go to the top of the mountain you could take a helicopter up there but you can't say you climbed to the top of the mountain.

    But if you climb up the mountain to reach the top you can proudly say that you climbed to the top.

   Although it is a breathtaking view from the top of the mountain looking down at how far you climbed to reach the top is so exciting that it takes your breath away 

   Your hard work and your dedication and your unwavering commitment to complete anything is a testament to you that you can do anything.

   You did it because you were willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish it and that is way more satisfying then just taking a quick helicopter ride.

  Enjoy the climb!

Your first impression is based on assumptions not facts

    Sometimes you walk in a room and you can feel the negativity in the air.

   You form an opinion based purely on that feeling and you choose to see it as a fact without anything to back it up as factual.

   Your opinion then decides how you approach your time at that place as well as the people who work there.

  Your opinion determines the mood you have every time you go there.

   You don't give the people or the establishment a chance to prove to you that your opinion is totally wrong. 

   You are so closed minded because in your opinion you already know all the facts.

   You miss out on the benefits that you could have enjoyed if you just would have kept an open mind until you truly new the facts.

   Most of the time you don't go there enough times to get the facts and your opinion is forever engraved in your mind.

   Luckily I was able to go enough times to see that my first impression was way off the true facts.

   I realized that I was in the best place and had the nicest people there that helped me through every step of the way.

   Thank goodness they didn't know what my first impression was of them or they would have formed a terrible opinion of me and might not have been so helpful to me.

   Before you let what you assume to be a fact that you base your opinion on guide you, keep an open mind and gather the facts so you choose wisely.

   Like they say if you ASSUME you can make an ASS of U and ME. Get the facts so you can make an informed decision not assumptions.

   Don't judge a book by it's cover because what is inside the cover is a book you will benefit from reading.

   

Looking for a way to have a positive outcome

    As I sit here exhausted from the chaotic circumstances I am facing I am looking for a way to have a positive outcome. 

   I can either keep looking or keep sitting on my pity potty all clogged up.

   I keep thinking about the church sign that inspired the positive message behind JUST FLUSH IT.

  It said.... It's okay to sit on your pity-potty every now and again just be sure and FLUSH when you are done.

  It's a reminder to us all that God knows that S*** happens and we all have every right to sit on our pity-potty when it does.

   But the only way to ENJOY LIFE is to take the painful experiences from your past and JUST FLUSH IT.

   As I grab the PLUNGER to get unclogged I want to remind you that anyone can get CLOGGED but luckily PEACE OF MIND is just a FLUSH away.

   So if you ever get CLOGGED, Remember to grab the PLUNGER!

   Because if you want PEACE OF MIND sometimes you will have to do whatever it takes to JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind to make ROOM for PEACE OF MIND to get in.
