Words Of Wisdom

Wisdom is when you reach higher, into the realms of consciousness and spiritto access a greater understanding of what's occurring in life.There are many things that trigger wisdom. Wisdom can come to you in words, pictures and colors~A wide variety of stimulus~ that triggers wisdom.

Embracing wisdom~is the first step in becoming a co-creator~to the world around you~Imaging yourself helping to create a new worldbased upon the wisdom of love, healing and compassion~Imagine people putting down their weapons, and seeing their so-called enemies for the first time as their brothers and sisters.Imagine this light quenching the fires of rage within each and every heart.

Imagine the power of love and wisdom inspiring peopleto create new ways for us to live together in harmony, compasion and prosperity.Imagine the force of love empowering leaders all over the world to create lasting peace agreements that ensures safety, respect, freedom,and prosperity to people everywhere.

Imagine that Divine peace, love, and light are the prevailing forces upon the earth forever and ever~Imagine reaching out our hands of love and friendship~to people around the globe~regardless of race, religion or nationality~ It is time for you and you and you~to take part in this powerful act of creation~The rhythm never ends, it only strengthens and expands.

This life force is within you~This life force is apart of you~You are apart of the spiral of evolution Eternal and everlasting~Each of you shall reach a certain level of awareness unhindered by the inadequacy of your language unhindered by the limitationsof the intellectual mind unhindered by the limitations of false beliefs~Our thoughts will connect thru universal consciousness~and an incredible healing will take placearound the world~Healing our beloved Earth Motherand all our relations~Unity of heart, mind and Spirit~we will blend our incredible gifts together~for healing~I see so many people hiding their identitiy and hiding their true powers because they live in stages of denial and unworthiness.

We have been brain washed to believe we are a powerless people and so many are awakening to the skills of Empowerment and also searching for answers and clues to their Higher or Divine Being.

Religion is a major structure of disempowering the people.and installing fear into the heart and mind thru manipulative brain washing and control.But the energies are rising and the earth mother groans under the weight of mis-abuse of her precious resources God's holy energy.The world's system that revolves around a material based structure of organized government is slowly crumbling~and the true people of light~ are now slowly returning~they are the ones who will step powerfully into the knowledge and wisdom of their ancient ancestral memories.

And they are the ones who will lead the people~ back to their heart energy. Back to the healing that must take place. There are many spiritual teachers and leaders who carry forth a higher level of truth.These beloved teachers are the ones who have embraced the powerful knowledge and wisdom of their ancient ancestral memories.They are the ones who will lead the people~back into their heart energy.Back to the healing that must take place~Healing of our beloved Earth Mother and all our relations~Many of these way showers, lightworkers and spiritual warriors have spent their entire lifetimes~searching, teaching, waiting~and hiding in the outskirts of humanity~ Waiting and searching for the wakeup call~The awakening process is faster for some~and slower for others who have become stuck within the illusion of the material world. But we are all evolving in ourown unique ways.We are the flowers that are turning into fruit of the Divine~Wisdom and knowledge are birthing forth a new way to survive~The energy that is coming to earth and to every single one of us, is coming to serve the greater good of the whole and to those of us who are being called to service,to serve humanity, it is our responsibility to share the unique gifts and talents that each of us has been given~To share the wisdom, to share our stories~ to share our prayers~to share our music~to share the love and truth that we hold for humanity~There will come to be~many messengers of the sacred and holy truth~Many warriors will join in the movement of light move into that which is sacred and holy~Seeking the wholeness of Spirit~is seeking and embracing Spiritual growth~ and acknowledging that you are a Divine Being of Light~Wholeness of spirit reflects forms of Empowerment~Connecting into your Spirit helps to reflect the creative potentialof your true God Reality~The Spirit of your Soulis apart of Creator~Explandant in the beauty of the Divine~Pull the energy into your body~Align with the Power Point~of your true God Reality~True wisdom reveals itself to those who take a few moments each day to sit in quiet reflection away from the hustle and bustle of busy thoughts and activities.

We are what we focus upon and what we think.With our thoughts, we make our world.With our thoughts we can heal our world all it takes is focus, determination and will power~All number of things that we can create~We can manifest a world of love and light or stay in tuned with all the negativity that plagues our world just like a disease.Consciousness is part of a dynamic dance of cosmic energy~you must incorporate the new dance of energyinto your physical, mental, and emotional vehicles.Each of you is apart of this massive dance of energy~ This dance of energy is shedding seeds of cosmic awareness~And it is providing you with seeds of change~learn how to fertilize these seeds of thought~within your own mind.

The flowering of your inner knowledge and psychic senses are Divine tools~that will help you in accessing the new wisdom that is flowing onto this Earth.The energies that are assisting each of you during these changing times~Many of you are just beginning to turn on psychic abilities and gifts that will have a dramatic effect upon your world~Learn to honor yourself and embrace your abilities~Learn how to turn them on~Learn how to use them~Learn to honor your own truth~and have courage to stand strong within your Power~ And best of all~ enjoy the freedom you are claiming by know and embracing yourself ~“”as an empowered Being of Light”“~Embrace the potential of your creative and magnificent Being~Open yourself to greater understanding and awareness~that all life is sacred~and we must each play our part~in helping to create a better world of love and light~where darkness of control and manipulation~no longer hold us prisoner~in an insecure shell of a body that most of us call home~ What you make of your life is up to you.

You have all the tools and resources you need.What you do with them is up to you.The choice is yours.

Your answers lie within you.The answers to life's questions lie within you.All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.If you wish to eliminate fear, concentrate on courage.If you wish to eliminate lack, concentrate on abundance.If you wish to eliminate disease, concentrate on health stop focusing on any negativity that you may be holding~Begin to trust the passion that you feel.Begin to listen to the whispers of your soul and take small steps forward towards the goal and purpose of spiritual evolvement~Begin to claim the gifts of divine guidance that will help you begin to fulfill your destiny and your purpose~Begin to tap into the stream of love and intelligence that will direct you to the prosperity that you deserve~Begin to act upon the inner guidance that you receive.

Begin to align your mind with the mind of Divine Creation~You are the mysteryEmbrace that sacred mystery.You are the journey~Embrace that sacred journey~We are the flowers turning into fruit of the Divine~Wisdom and knowledge are birthing forth a new way to survive~A new way to shine~The energy that is coming to earth and to every single one of us, is coming to serve the greater good of the whole and to those of us who are being called to service,to serve humanity~it is our responsibilityto share the unique gifts and talents that each of us has been given~To share the wisdom, to share our stories~to share our prayers~to share our music~Make a commitment to take a few minutes each day in the coming week for solitary reflection.

Make this a completely quiet time free of noise and distraction.Use these few moments to connect with your spirit.You are the creator of your destiny~Begin to reclaim and step into your Powers~We are all apart of the Sacred Hoop of Life, where there is no ending and no beginning!

The purpose of sharing this at all, is the hope it may help you to build yourself a larger Spiritual container so that you can open up to accessing more a higher intelligence and perceptual awareness and to bring more love into your life to create a better world for you & your loved ones

Live your truth.Speak your truth in the light of day~and never let the words of outsiders discourage you in any way shape or form~

Choose to focus on anchoring this Divine and holy light~Always remember~that each of you is awakening and remembering how powerful you really are! Many of us have been assigned with specific parts to play~We are in service to raise Global Unity into the heartbeat of mother Earth and all humanity.

Accept your situation and realize you are where you are, doing what you are doing, for a specific reason. Realize that nothing is by chance, that you have certain lessons to learn and that the situation you are in has been given to you to enable you to learn those lessons as quickly as possible, so that you can move onward and upward along your spiritual path.

THE SIMPLE LIFE

Don't you think the world went and got way too complicated? Just think about it.


Five or more days of the week we all have to work at a job that we may not particularly enjoy. We have to pay taxes, save for retirement, and abide by countless laws. Because of the way humanity has been structuring the world, we need to do this for our survival. The complication of the world has affected the things we most value, our freedom and overall happiness in life.

Everyday new fashion and technological advancements are introduced to us. They are then integrated into our lives and presented to us in a way that boosts our desire for them. Many people feel that as long as we are moving forward in technology it is a good thing, however, few ever question the necessity of these things in our lives.

If we have been living without many of these things for such a long time, why do we suddenly must have the latest item on the market?

Stuck in a state of materialism and consumerism, many people don't realize their desire for these things have been limiting their freedom. It takes money to obtain all the material things that we want, and so we have to give up much of our free time by working for someone to earn it.

The sad part about all of this is that we often spend most of our time trying to obtain and maintain these material things than we actually do enjoying them. We unconsciously become slaves to the very material objects we are striving to acquire. This leads to all sorts of unhappiness and stress that can shorten lives.


But what is the root cause of the materialism, consumerism and parasitism that is complicating our world? I believe it is the great desire for money and the practice of extreme capitalism. While money serves as a means of exchange, the increased want for it is what leads to the various methods humans have created for obtaining it.

This results to capitalizing on everything imaginable, including people's lives. These two elements have even complicated simple aspects of our lives such as love relationships. Nowadays you can't have romance without finance.

Now because our world has been complicated in so many ways, it is very difficult for a person to separate him or herself from it all if he or she wishes to do so. There are several basic physiological and safety needs that must be satisfied by having a home, food on your plate, and clothes on your back.

Due to the use of money and practice of capitalism these things are not easy to obtain and we are forced to participate in a system that has diminished our quality of life on several different planes. If humanity did not complicate the world so much, we would be able to live simpler lives filled with a greater level of happiness than we presently experience.

"LIVE YOUR DREAM"

A dream won't do much for you until you do something for it. Yet the moment you begin to take action, that dream starts to become real.

It may very well take years to accomplish. Long before it is accomplished, though, it is adding value to your life.

For the value of your dream is not in possessing whatever it brings. The value is in reaching for it.

The value is in what you do to get yourself there. Because in that process, you fulfill your own unique destiny.

Right this very moment, you can reach out and touch the reality of your most treasured dream. That's because right this moment, you can act on that dream.

If you've been waiting, you've waited long enough. Today is the day to truly live your dream."LIVE YOUR DREAM" =)

International Model "Tommy Cupples"

Dreams become reality when you want, its up to you and nobody else to make those dreams come true, don't ever let someone tell you that you can't do something, instead let that push you harder to accomplish that dream.-Tommy Cupples

Things We Can't Control

The idea of trusting the universe is a popular one these days, but many of us don’t know what this really means and we often have a hard time doing it. This is partly because the story of humankind is most often presented as a story about struggle, control, and survival, instead of one of trust and collaboration with the universe. Yet, in truth, we need to adhere to both ideas in this life.

On the one hand, there is much to be said about exerting control over our environment. We created shelter to protect ourselves from the elements. We hunted for animals and invented agriculture to feed ourselves. We built social infrastructures to protect ourselves and create community. This is how we survive and grow as a civilization. However, it is also clear that there are plenty of things that we cannot control, no matter how hard we try, and we often receive support from an unseen force – a universe that provides us with what we cannot provide for ourselves.

It is a good idea to take responsibility for the things in life that we can control or create. We work so we can feed, clothe, and shelter our loved ones and ourselves. We manifest our dreams and visions in physical form with hard work and forethought. But at a certain point, when have done all that we can, we must let go and allow the universe to take over. This requires trust.

It requires a trust that runs deeper than just expecting things to turn out the way we want them to. Sometimes they will, and sometimes they won’t. We develop equanimity and grace as we learn to trust that, with the guiding hand of the universe, life will unfold exactly the way it should. We are engaged in an ongoing relationship with a universe that responds to our thoughts and actions.

"The Best Revenge"

“The Best Revenge”

Unfinished,
As time goes on
(The business)
Will fade to black.
Heartbroken
(The Self) will mend.
Time still goes on, revenged or not~

Forgiveness,

The greatest key
To a heart
Broken in this

Reality,

Finally Free
Of chains that bind, a Release~

Love, kindness--
The best revenge.

Karma will
Be it's own fire,
Heaped upon
Their precious heads...

Moving forward- don't look back~

A Recipe Of A New You

Many people claim that they have the key to success in life, and if you follow their simple formula your problems will just disappear. Yet how many of them actually give you the results you are looking for? Following a new path can lead you only as far as you're willing to go with it, but eventually if the underlying problem isn't corrected and instead masked by other things, you'll regress.

However, we all have what it takes to make a permanent change in our lives. The ingredients are inside us and accessible. Anyone is able to transform themselves with enough know-how.

WHAT A TRUE FRIEND IS

Thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes about what a true friend is....

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words"

"A real friend is the one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"

"What is a friend? It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself."

"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly"

"In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends" (this is good and I can relate to it..I've had people who are around when things are going well, but disappear when I am going through tough times and need a friend to lean on)

"A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be somewhere else"

"Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel that you've done a permanent job"

"When it hurts to look back, and you're too scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there"

"My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me"

"One Man's Dream"

Let me give all that I can, whenever I can, to all that I can. It is a simple plan for the remaining time here on this good earth. It is a cleansing of one's soul. When I have given all that I can, and loved all I that I can, it completes me.

My dream is for all people on Earth to have faith in a greater power than us. Every little thing around you is from a divine plan. Every storm in life is a lesson to be learned. Every smile and every tear is witnessed. The very moon was placed exactly in the right place in the heavens. One little shift of the moon and the oceans would overtake the land. The sun was placed exactly in the right place. One little shift of the sun and the entire world would be a desert.

Man only thinks he can control life around him. Man controls nothing. What he has tried to control, he has destroyed. I share with you these things that you already know. When we all go to bed at the end of the day no matter who you are, a king, a beggar, a president, a rich man, a poor man, a doctor, a mechanic, a teacher, a preacher, all lay their heads down and sometimes think what is this really all about? Is this all that there is? Is there more?

Yes there is more.......I believe with all of my being that there is more! This life with all it's beauty and also all it's hurting, is only but a step into the gates of forever and ever. So enjoy everything that is given to you, good and bad. And live each day like it is your last here on earth.

And remember to give something back, whenever you can. This is just my dream, what may be yours?

A Good Woman

A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable or articulating her needs. A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears. A good woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the full potential God gave them. A good woman knows her past, understands the present and move towards the future. A good woman knows God. She knows with God the world is her playground, but without God She will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of her future because of her past. Instead,she understands that her life experiences merely lessons, meant to bring her closer to self knowledge and unconditional self love.

The Truth Behind The Smile

Behind my smile

People in my life lately always want to know why i'm so happy or curious as to why I look for the best in everything ...Behind My Smile.Well I have had my fair share of mistakes like everyone else and I am far from perfect but I am learning and growing each day. I realized the importance to me in life is to truly follow my heart and surround my self with great people.I like to have that karisma around me that way people can always remember that glow. I also came to the realization I want to be a true leader not a follower and impact people/ the world in a beautiful way. I value my health, faith , motherhood and helping others as far as donating my time to charities or where ever I can make a small difference; a helping hand never hurt anyone. The small things in life are too often over looked when really they are some times the most important . Cherish your health don't take life for granted . Live, Love, Learn, forgive you will find your heart and eventually You will find clarity/truth because you are the only one that has to look your self in the mirror each day. I found my self or I should say I am still seeking my self not only through life experience's but I actually sat down and wrote my own obituary scary thought kinda morbid..But it makes you realize how you want to be remembered. We all have an inner beauty in us so let it shine.

Walking The Walk
(a short story)

Interesting how excited she became when I asked if she would like to go for a walk. A simple pleasure I thought would be nice for us to partake in. We set forth into the night air which was clear, crisp, and cool. Bright stars looked down upon us while a mild wind brushed over our faces, infusing our minds with the pure joy and satisfaction of togetherness. The smiles on our faces brightened the dark sky much more than the moon ever could as we shared short kisses filled with affirmations.

We talked about how our pasts shaped us in to the persons we are today. About the hopes for how our present day activities will shape our future. We shared our beliefs, our perspectives on several things and with each step, each word, each moment of silence we became closer, actually becoming a part of each others own body. Walking yet finding calm within the ruckus of life that we were surrounded by. I could feel the emanation of her love as we held hands. This love I felt, this love she wanted me to realize that she held for me, was far beyond anything she had ever spoke of.

Blessings

sometimes you can not see where the road is leading
it might take a turn that you never dreamed of
but these unexpected detours can be blessings
giving your heart a new song to happily sing
even opening a new door to love


new joys they may bring
finding the dark clouds lining
an adventure you had not thought of
set you to the clouds and soaring
be the air beneath your proverbial wing
offering blessings you never thought of

Just believe...

Everything happens for a reason, what’s supposed to happen will happen… if things don’t go your way, it can be stressful, painful, and hard, but you don’t always have to be in control. It’s all just a part of the grand scheme of things. Don’t let your emotions cloud your vision. Don’t ever fail to see the bigger picture.

You may not understand why things are happening the way they are, but soon enough you’ll know. No matter what your problem is, big or small, it usually entails a portion of your heart getting broken. Sometimes, it’s only a bruise, sometimes it feels like it’s shattered into a million pieces. When dealing with a broken heart, it can be devastating and utterly painful, but sometimes it is just God’s way of calling you back to him, to make you grow as a person, or maybe you have to experience that to pave the way for something much better.

When overcome with hurt and confusion, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. You tend to focus on the present, and feel the enormity of your problem, you feel like you’ve got the biggest problem in the world, and you feel alone and don’t know what to do. And most often than not, you feel the tendency to take matters into your own hands.

You tend to do things and you do everything you can to control the situation. And then when things don’t go according to what you planned, you’ll get frustrated and bitter. You don’t realize, that no matter how you try to control things your way, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not going to happen. Everything happens for a reason. If you refuse to accept it and force it, you’re only prolonging the inevitable. You’ll only delay God’s true plan for you…

He has a plan for you if only you learn to be open and let go of the things that he wants you to let go of. So, stop manipulating things. A solution that is manipulated will not bring real happiness. Problems will always be a part of life, and at times when you’re down, when you’re at your lowest point, talk to God. If you ask sincerely, he will enlighten you, clear your confusion, ease your pain, calm your fears, and heal your heart.

It’s not going to provide you an instant solution to your problem, but God works in mysterious ways, and as long as you walk with Him, and just trust and believe, the sooner you’ll get to that place where you’ll see everything clearly, and you’ll finally begin to understand. Everything happens for a reason. You may not understand the reason now, but you will when the time is right.

It Is Your Time To Shine

Let Your Light Shine

SCRIPTURE "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16, AMP)

Do the people around you see your light shining? Do they know you are a believer by your actions?

Are you setting the bar in your office? Can people see your good works? I know people who can quote half the Bible and pray two hours a day, but they have no influence or credibility because theyre sloppy in the workplace.

They're always late or wasting time. They're not productive. Theyre not efficient. No one will even listen to them. I heard somebody say, Your performance gives you a platform. When you excel in what you do, that gets peoples attention.

The way to gain respect, the way to gain influence is to develop your character and skills in such a way that people want what you have. They may not agree with what you believe, but when you are the best in your company, they cant argue with that.

Youve earned their respect, not by your words, but by your spirit of excellence. I encourage you today, dont settle for mediocrity. You are a child of the Most High God. Make the decision today to let your light shine and bring Him glory in everything you do!

A PRAYER Heavenly Father, I choose to let my light shine so that I can bring glory to You. Help me to rise up higher; show me ways to set the standard. Let my life be a testimony of You. In Jesus Name.

Amen.

"Happiness"

Happiness does'nt go hand in hand with other emotions.It's a bad boy who doesn't play well with others.You will never achieve him if you are friends with any of the other emotions ,for he is a sore loser,a loner.Happiness can only stay with you for a little while.Those of you who have him know he's quickly gone as soon as another emotion takes over.Before having his place taken , sometimes,he might linger in anticipation that you may want him back.Happiness is a fleeting emotion.Some are lucky to hold him for long amounts of time.But they are usually by a chosen few,the very young who are sheltered from the other emotions ,or,someone with optimism caused by an underlying condition.It's a bad bedfellow.

In dreams it is often washed away upon the light of day.Upon the waking of reality.Happiness doesn't get along with pride.Pride holds him back.Happiness never liked vanity.For as looks fade,years can erase the smile of nacissism and happiness is gone.Happiness doesn't work well with the poor,the hungry,the lonely,or the depressed .The sick, the dying,the weary, and the troubled.This emotion is never called upon in these circles.When you find happiness,tell him he needs to visit people more often.To put aside all the others within someones heart and look for the good,give a cheer,lend it's helping hand in a world that so desperately needs him.For if we erase all other emotions,happiness will embrace each one of us..

"Are You Living With A Purpose Or You Need A Purpose To Live?"

How High Can We Get

Did you ever contemplate taking your life? What leads a person to commit suicide? Why do some people fall into a deep state of depression? Doctors and psychiatrists can only speculate the reasons to these questions from examining thousands of case studies. But how can a doctor or any person really know what goes on in someone's mind? Our minds aren't equal.

Doctors can diagnose cancer, and through scientific studies and research, provide a treatment to put it into remission. But our minds can't be examined in the same fashion as a disease. Our thoughts, with their underlying fears and motivators, are intricate and unique; therefore, not measurable.

If ten people were asked to describe the color red in an apple, I'm betting that each person's description would be a bit different. Perception is key, isn't it? But here's what got me thinking. What makes a person self destruct? Where does their wiring go wrong? Can we legitimately blame our parents for the way we feel?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, no. I believe that we are subject to their habits and personalities, and as a result, can learn their behaviors, but there's more to it. The mechanics of what makes a person tick is multi-faceted; and why people fall into depression has a lot to do with feeling unfulfilled.

We've all heard the stories about Jim Morrison, Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, and so many other famous artists and actors, who've overdosed on drugs at a very early age. Some of these people deliberately took their lives while others died accidentally.

Their successes, and the rush that accompanies it, was achieved so early in life that they felt the need to experience something that would take them higher. What does a person do to achieve this rush after they've exhausted all other possibilities? What do you do after you've had it all and done it all? How high can we go?


People, like you and me, try our best to make our lives better, yet millions of us suffer from deep depression. Some are battling an addiction, while others are feeling so useless that they want to die. They wake up, take a good look around, and ask the frightening question that has plaqued the greatest of minds since the beginning of humanity. They ask, is this all there is?

Now, I understand that everyone doesn't have these thoughts. We're not alike. But through reading and observing, it appears that deep thinkers and artists suffer more than the everyday person. Like these great minds, I too, have asked myself if this was all there was. Now, I'm not just saying the phrase "is this all there is" as a generic statement. I'm serious. For me, the feeling of being useless, and questioning my existence, pushed me into asking this very question.

I was unhappy with my life and felt that I didn't have anything to look forward to. I didn't have an interest in things. I was bored with the club scene. I was bored with hearing the talkers talk. I was bored with the game. When I examined what was left, I asked the question that I was afraid to get the answer to.

I felt that there had to be more than merely existing. There had to be more than acting robotically. There had to be more than what I was doing--getting up, going to work, acting out the part and not receiving the applauds.

It was during this period of my life when I relapsed into a disorder known as agoraphobia. All the questions that plagued me for years, the very same questions that I asked but was afraid to get the answers to, were surfacing to my conscience.

These questions made me think--they made me pick apart my life and curse my existence. I didn't want to face these questions because facing them meant facing the answers that went along with them.

Finally, out of desperation to rid myself of the disorder, I turned to the one thing that I didn't believe in, and that was God. I begged Him to show me my purpose. I begged Him to tell me if there was more to life than what I was experiencing? I had to know if there was more. And I found out that there is more. We can go higher if we look past the material things.


Follow me on this. Buying cars and boats, and jewels and vacations, only gives a temporary high. After they're gone, how do you get another rush? Most people keep buying. They buy bigger cars and boats, bigger houses and more jewels. If you have money, you keep buying. Finally, when you have obtained it all, what's next? Drugs? Gambling?

Listen. We can only go so high. The money can only give us so much gratification. When you've done it all, you have to find something else to give you that high, and drugs isn't the answer. But reaching out to others, is. When you have it all, it's time to start giving back. Helping people, in any capacity, is the way. It's the only way.

I was only a young girl when Peggy Lee shot to fame with her song, Is That All There Is, and now I understand why the song went big. Ask yourself . . . is this all there is?

"Don't Quit , Quitting Is Never An Option"

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sign,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

When….

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt.

And you never can tell how close you are.

It may be near when it seems afar.

So, stick to the fight when you are hardest hit.

It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

Make a decision to be happy, learn how in less than 1 minute

Being happy is simple. Here is how with one page.

People always ask me why I am so happy and easy going. Its simple, very very simple. Take control of your life. You decide what it takes to make you happy then make decisions to get there. You decide what you will and won't allow in your life then you dictate just that.

Tell the truth and surround yourself with people that are ok with that. You can't imagine how much of a burden lies are in your life. Just one more thing keeping you from true happiness.

If there are people in your life who cant accept the truth, do not defend your words and actions to make them believe you. Let them choose if they want to believe you or not, them believing you is not your problem. In my last relationship I spent so much energy trying to get her to see that I am an open book that it turned me into a person I didn't like.

I was continually trying to make her see that I am a genuine person without motives. Its amazing how much bending on what you know is right for you does to your life. I'll never do it again.

Decide what is right for you and your life and stick with it. How people react or accept that should not factor into your decisions of what is right or wrong. This can be hard, but being easy or hard doesn't factor into right/wrong.

Those are two completely separate things, don't confuse them. If its right then do it, no matter how hard it is. Trust me, once you do this enough and see the results it becomes very easy. Its all about confidence.

Embrace confrontation. However, you can't truly embrace confrontation until you are confident in what you believe. Once you are confident in yourself and your thoughts, confrontation actually becomes very easy.

Never get personal with confrontation, just state the facts. Amy, I don't like when you say and do xyz. Now its up to her, not you, to decide if she wants to stay in your life. That's why my life is easy. I make the rules for my life, you can either follow them or not be in it. Its that simple.

Once you are confident in what is right for you, set boundaries to maintain that. Life becomes black and white after that, if someone crosses the boundary you confront them and let them know. If they keep crossing them then they don't get to be part of your life anymore. Its that simple. Do not let other people influence or effect your happiness.

I'm going to say that again, do not let other people influence or effect your happiness.

Be consistent. Stick with what you believe and stick with it every time. Your surroundings do not affect what you believe to be right for yourself. If people aren't accepting of you, don't change, just state who you are and live accordingly. Them liking it doesn't factor in to any part of the equation.

Be real, don't be fake to gain acceptance or approval from anyone. Think about it, if you do gain their acceptance or approval then you have to maintain the fake person you pretended to be to keep them. So you are signing up for not being yourself and adapting your beliefs when you are around them.

This is destructive behavior to yourself and the people you are around. That's why life gets complicated, you have to be different people around different crowds. If you can be the same exact person around everyone and have the same exact story around everyone, imagine how easy your life would be?

Imagine how easy your life would be if everyone played by your rules? Not possible? I disagree. There are always rules you have to follow when you are dealing with other people and the world, but when you are dealing with you and other people are dealing with you then its absolutely true.

Be fair at all times. You'll be amazed at how much people appreciate it and once again how easy it makes your life.

Just so you know, this kind of life is not easy. When someone does something i don't appreciate, I tell them. This does not mean I am mad or don't like you, I am just letting you know that you did something I don't like. That has nothing to do with the person you are.

People will have a hard time believing this. But again, that's not your problem, if you try to make other peoples problems yours then go ahead and sign up for unhappiness.

Just a few things that popped in my head.
