Please don’t feel like you are different, look at yourself as a unique person, love yourself before you let anybody tell you different.  There will be people in your life that you will encounter, and sometimes you have to ignore things others will say, think, gossip, whisper to others that will make you feel some type of way.  I am telling you to ignore all that stuff, focus on yourself to better your self, because in life those same people are family, friends, co workers, etc, but you can not let that stuff get to you because if you do it will only depress you. Depression can lead to all sorts of bad things, and we do not want to have to go through more than what we have to, but overall life is what you make it.

Whatever happened to saying thank you?  Whatever happened to saying please, I appreciate it, Hello, etc, I think us as a society has forgotten how to be kind, generous, courteous overall nice. We don’t care about anything it seems, and we are to busy trying to know what everybody else is doing and not ourselves. We are so worried about social media, hollywood, who is who on a day to day basis so much that we tend to forget to respect the people we encounter everyday. It is a shame to the maximum, but that is where we are at in todays world.  Look around you today while you are out and about and just watch the people interact with each other, you wont because they are probably hypnotized by there phone, on there phone or just not paying attention at all. Whatever happened to helping out our fellow brother or sister in need of help, guidance, support, or just a regular good old conversation. There is none and it is sad that it is like the way it is, we rather act snotty, mean, ignore each other, slam the door in someone’s face rather than to hold the door for someone. Be kind to one another today and beyond.

It is easy to say I want this and I want that, but the truth is we don’t have the ambition as a people to do do what we really want to do. Let’s face it people, we are lazy and we know it, but we don’t want to realize it, I guess we are all naive to the facts of ourselves. How about we just do what we feel, rather than what we say we are going to do.  Personally I think when we say we will, we won’t. Remember the movie field of dreams with Kevin Costner? good movie, but also true, and if we all can dream it it shall come true, we just have to believe in ourselves. We can have and dream of everything we ever wanted in life as a whole.

Grab life by the horns, take control of your own destiny, think big, think outside the box is all the phrases we hear daily right. But how many of us exactly do it?  As you are reading this, you kind of say “hum” maybe none of the above. Well you can do all of that if you believed in yourself. We all have that I am going to, or I will attitude because we more than likely will NOT. It is the truth, and we hate to admit it to ourselves, but it is the reality. We all look towards a pat on the back from someone that really don’t care what we have done, but they will say good job because they want to move on to the next thing. With that being said, focus on your achievements and whatever you dream of can and will come true only if you believe in yourself.

Today when you get out of bed and stretch and yawn, do it with a smile to start the day off right. There is nothing like a great start to your day to make your whole day good. The weather is nice and cool, fall is upon us, the leaves are turning and also falling to the ground. We should all take that in today and everyday.  Instead of eating your lunch in your office, car, restaurant, try and eat your lunch outside on a bench, or in the park if you are close to one.  Everyday is a  new day, so make each and everyone be better than the last. 

Your daily trials and tribulations may have altered your feelings today as mine did, but i took a few minutes and realized, wait a minute “it could be worse”. I sat back and thought of all of the starving children, homeless people, single parents, alot of people struggling hour by hour. What and why am i so frustrated for is the question I asked myself. I said it is okay to roll over that minor bump in the road at that moment and proceed to move forward. Confused on why this is happening to me and said this type of stuff is happening all over the world and I am complaining about this tiny problem, shame on myself for thinking like that.  We as a people should look at our confused and frustrated moments as a hiccup, handle it and just move on with our day. I mean i was ticked off for a brief moment and was like slow down pal, it will be okay to just breathe, let it out, think of the reasons you are feeling like this, what made you feel like this and conquer your feelings, that is all. Manage things and it will all come to be as simple as apple pie. Frustrated and confused can be turned around to be happy and satisfied if you think about it, so don’t let your emotions and feelings get in the way of how you rather feel, but how you should feel. Thanks for all who follow and like, and also share this post, it is greatly appreciated. Love you all and to all a good night.

How many of us are willing and accepting to change? If you feel that you can not ever make changes in you as far as careers, relationships, even daily routines, why are you kidding yourself? Change is easy as turning left then deciding to turn right onto a side street to avoid the construction on the interstate. It is all up to you if you are willing and able to do so, I say do not be afraid of what could be on the other side of change if you are willing to do so. It is similar and simple as going to the store and looking for your favorite bag of chips you are looking for but your brand and the store does not have what your looking for, what do you do?  You maybe get something different that you never had before and end up liking that particular brand. That is when you say “WOW” I would of never knew that those chips were that good. Change is what you did for a small bag of chips and you were satisfied of the decision you made at that moment. We all do not know what our future hold for us but to an extinct we can have some guidance to what and where it can end up being if we just try and change the things we do to keep our lives on hold, especially if our lives are not where we feel they are not at this time of our lives. After reading this, look in the mirror and ask yourself “what do i want to do with my life, how do i change my life, and is it as easy as it seems. TRY…

Let’s smile today and be cheerful no matter what happens today. Hold the door for someone we never met, say hello to someone who is down or is having a bad day. Let’s make a complete stranger smile by telling them a joke or something, we all have bad days but try and figure out how to smile and take it with a grin of salt. It’s not always sunshine and rainbows on a day to day basis, but we can shine when the times are dark. So with that being said, just try and be happy whenever possible and share that with someone, it could be a coworker, friend, relative, or a complete stranger. When you go out to lunch today and you see someone struggling to pay for there food, help them out and pay for them if you can. That is paying it forward, and with that also comes a good feeling on your behalf. You are possibly making someone smile and that same person would probably do the same next time they come across that same situation they were in today down the road. It is sort of a chain reaction for good deeds and like I said, let’s make today a good day that may turn someone day that was sad or mad into a new day.

Go out on a limb because that is where all the fruit is…

T.G.I.F. Right, well not so much in the city of Flint,Mi where the city water is not so good for the people. I am from there and moved a few years ago due to work and reading in the papers lately they are asking for help in order to get fresh, clean, overall good water. It’s funny how us as a country can go all over the world to help other countries become vibrant again but not look at home here in the good OLD U.S. You know we take water for granted until it is taken away from us, and when it is taken we don’t know what to do, just like tv and electronics. think of it as if we as a society lived like the amish people of america and went without the internet, tv, news, all of the bells and whistles we are so use to enjoying daily, we would go crazy. The city of Detroit are having so much trouble with it’s citizens paying there water bill, but in Flint the water is like drinking garbage juice. All i am saying is that people stand up, fight for what is right, and dont take the smallest things in life for granted and to also give thanks for what you do have.
