Seeing Growth Is Not An Option, It Is Necessary
Bucking the system and going against the grain is necessary to stand out in a crowd at times, but other times it will put us right back in the crowd we are trying to show our individuality in and stand out of. It’s not the act of being different or taking our own routes that keep us in general population or in a population that is frowned upon, it is when we buck the system…

I think we all have problems with other people judging us for who we are, giving us great advice that is only great for them, and being somewhat prejudiced against us without saying so. I have learned to embrace these people and their good intentions so that I can use these good intentions to continue being the best me that I could possibly be. When someone gives me sound advice, that is from the heart,…

There are times that people will argue with you to prove that their point is on target, even when their point or target has nothing to do with the conversation. This happens because people miss the point at times and there are even times that people avoid the point altogether. This is something that we all have to learn to deal with, learn to steer clear of, and learn to avoid doing. When a person…

Not getting the results that we would like to see, the outcome we prefer, and doing things for no personal pleasure or growth has us asking the question: What’s the purpose? The purpose is for us to share the things that we receive. If all we do is expect to get things for our actions, we soon run out of space to receive the blessings that we seek. We must learn to be appreciative and…

When we want to get a point across, it is always best to express ourselves clearly. We have to say exactly what we mean and we can’t change the meaning of our words when we are questioned about our statements. We have to stand behind our word because it becomes our bond to those that receive it. Once a word leaves our mouth it becomes a part of history, and although history can be made,…

Most of us have taken steps forward in life and left behind memories of some times that we lived life at less than our best. Not only did we not meet our own expectations, we sometimes disappointed those that meant the most to us – including ourselves. We have overcome situations that became simple for us to participate in, to grow beyond them into situations that are more challenging, frustrating, and demanding. It sometimes seems…

There are times and places for all different types of attitudes. Times to joke, times to relax, times slow down, times to give some extra effort, times to get serious, and times to quit playing. We can usually see signs that tell us when we should have certain attitudes, but one of the most important signs to pay attention to is the sign that says “Quit Playing”. Some people might think of board games, card…

For every force there is an equally powerful opposing force: For every positive, there is a negative and for every good thing there is a bad thing. Having a positive outlook and looking for the good in situations can be productive and will assist us in blessing ourselves with the best things in life, but we can contradict ourselves if we overlook the fact that there are negative things that we have to deal with…

Standing strongly behind our beliefs, what we feel is right and the things we put effort into doing is something that we should feel good about being able to do. The dedication that we put forth when we endure trying times is sometimes so amazing that we have to ask our self, how did we make it through the situation? It is easy to be pulled in so many directions that we feel like we…

Being able to deal with the bad along with the good is something that is necessary for us to live a productive life. However, we sometimes push the bad out of sight so that it is out of mind. Pushing negative aspects of life out of sight and out of mind does not make the negative disappear, it just means that it becomes dormant and we will eventually face something that has grown powerful from…
