Gratitude

On this day I want to acknowledge all the positive things that have happened in my life. Many people pick a day on the calendar to reevaluate their life thinking of the things that they want to change or let go of. I choose to look at my life today and everyday and focus on all the people and things that I am grateful for.  Because I am grateful for so much. 

I am grateful that I have been allowed to see another day . I am grateful for all the people in my life that care about me and have cared about me along the way. I am grateful for all the things that I have learned and gained, but most of all I am just grateful that I have the ability to be grateful.  

To understand that gratitude is the greatest gift that a person can give to themselves. To be grateful for the life that they have. Not everything is always as we want it, and there are obviously things that we might have done differently, but things are always as it should be. Everything is perfect. Whatever has gone on in my life I know that it was an opportunity to learn, to grow and to understand something new. 

Things may not always be the way you want them to be, but that doesn’t mean that they were wrong or bad, just different than you would have chosen. But, for whatever and however things happen to you, you can’t help but be grateful if for no other reason than the fact that you had an opportunity to learn and grow. 

Today choose to be grateful and to thank everyone in your life and everyone that has passed through your life for being a part of your journey and allowing you to share a part of their journey. 

                 Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

My song of the day “As”  - by Stevie Wonder 

A Friend In Need

We all would like to think of ourselves as kind people or giving people, but in most cases it seems that unless asked we don’t always move to help others.  Yes, we have our own lives, needs and wants, but thereis always someone in our lives whether directly or indirectly that needs us emotionally, financial or maybe both. And, because of pride, or fear they may not feel comfortable asking for what they need.  

I always think it’s so beautiful to see someone who choses to see theneedof another and responds to it, and I try to be that way myself.  I try to see what is needed and help when I can.  Not because I want to be liked or even to be popular, but because I would want someone to do it for me.  I have come to understand that we all make the world go round, and helping each other is what we are here to do.  We are here to aid each other on our journeys with our time, our words, and our actions. 

There is nothing wrong with being focused on your own life. You should be. But, there is always someone who needs you whether they ask for your help or not. Never be so caught up in your own world that you can’t see or hear the cries of another.. 

Do you see your friends in need???

Can You Stand The Rain ?

I think that it’s the lows that allow us to see who not only who we are, but who the people are in our life.  Unfortunately with those lows sometimes comes separation and a much pain.  But, in the end people might just be showing you that they are not really people you need in your life. It’s like that song by New Edition "Can You Stand The Rain?".

In every life there is a moment when our strength and character, and that of those around us is tested.  We see our life in an uncomfortable place. A place that we can’t run away from, but other people can. And, that journey to pick ourselves back up can be the loneliest journey we will ever take.  The people in our life who we look to, to help us pull our self back up and get back on our feet are nowhere to be found because they can’t handle the lows. What these runner don’t understand is that one day without fail they too will be in a similar place, and will wish for that same help and care that they were not willing to give.

I recently was in this place.  I chose not to be angry, but to understand that people can only handle what they can handle. Most of all, I was grateful that I got to see the people in my life for who they really are, but more important I got to see who I am and how strong I am.   

I accept people for who they are, and I won’t allow someone else’s fears to make me fearful and unloving. What it has done is made me much more conscience of who I now allow in my life. You will never forget the hurt caused, but time heals all wounds, and there is nothing saying that you can’t allow those that couldn’t stand the rain back into your life. The only difference is that now you see clearly who you’re dealing with, and know that their love or friendship comes with stipulations.

A Question of Pride

There are times in our lives when our pride does not serve us. There are times in our lives that pride gets in our way. I have found it important to be sure that I know the difference between standing up for myself, and standing in my own way.

I recently needed to speak to someone whom I said I would not, but the reality was this was someone whose help I needed.  It occurred to me that I was being prideful about something that I had long gotten over, and really wasn’t that big of a deal in the first place.  So, I picked up the phone and made that call.  It was like nothing had ever happened, and no time had passed. 

I understand principle and I always believe that you should stand up for what you believe in, but what I realizedis that sometimes we allowpride to unnecessarily gets in the way of our relationships. There will always be disagreements amongst family and friends. It is important to address any issuesthat arise in the moment so that you don’t allow them to get in the way of you living and loving. 

Are you letting pride get in your way???

Jealousy

Why is it so impossible to be happy for others?

Have you every noticed that there are people in your life that you would think would be happy for you when you share something positive going on with you? You share something you’re excited about, and yet as you begin to share with them you can see their face turning, and within seconds the voice of doom rolls from their lips. 

Is it our parents, our teachers or society that makes us so selfish? Why can’t we be happy for others?  What is it that makes us not believe that if someone else has something there won't be enough for us? Why do we judge our lives by what others have when all that matters is that we are happy with ourselves? 

 I am always happy for the people in my life.  I believe that there is always enough, and that no one can take what is mine.  For that reason I am always able to share what I have, but I wonder what is it that makes some people so jealous, envious,  and even spiteful? What I find more interesting are the people who seem to have it all, family friend, good job, and a nice home. Yet, they don’t wish well for others or don’t seem to want others to move up.   

If you are healthy, have a family, people that care about you, a roof over your head, a job whether you love it or not, and in some way working towards the kind of life you want, then why would it be so hard to be happy for another person??

We are all individuals. What works for one person, will probably not work for another. “The grass isn’t always greener on the other side”. Part of loving, and caring about another person is wanting the best for them, wanting them to be happy, celebrating their accomplishments with them, and doing your part when needed in helping them get to where they want to go. There is never any reason to not want good for others because no one can take from you what is yours, and there is always enough. 

Are you happy for the people in your life?

Take Your Bags To The Curb

We all have a past or baggage if you will,  but it is important to remember that the things that have happened in our past are experiences for us to grow from and to make us stronger. The things that have happened are not who we are or who we have to be. Nothing that has happened to any ofus was meant to hold us back or bring us down.  Too many times we allow our past experiences of all kinds to weigh us down so badly that we allow them to cloud our judgement, make bad decisions, and prevent us from moving forward.

So many times things don’t go as we would like them to, or when we are unable to live up to someones expectations of us we allow that to weight on us. We then dig into our “bags of the past” and pull out an excuse on why things are not going right for us, or why we can’t do something in the present. We hold onto and collect this baggage like it in someway it is going to protect us, when really what it’s doing is blocking our blessings.  In most cases we are not allowing ourselves to live, we are not allowing ourselves to grow, and most importantly in many cases we are not allowing ourselves to love ourselves or others. 

Experiences are just that, experiences. You take what you need and you discard the rest. The good you hold onto to get you through the difficult times, and the unpleasant experiences you take the lesson learned and you move on.  You don’t allow any experience to stop you from living in the present or in the future, but most of all you don’t allow your past to stop you from being your best you for you in the present.    

Are you taking your baggage out to the curb?

Excuses

We all have a backstory, the things that have happened to us, and the things that yes in many ways make us who we are. No matter what has happened to you, you cannot allow your circumstances to be your excuse for not being all that you can be, or not doing all that you could be doing.

No ones life is perfect. No ones life is or was like what many of us have seen on television or in the movies. There are many people who have experiences abuse and neglect, but those are just experiences it doesn’t have to be who you are or what you do. Many people feel a need or desire for the love and affection that they didn’t receive, and instead of working to have a life filled with the love and affection that they desire, they dwell on the past and make their past story their excuse for their self-destructive behavior. Which in turn really does nothing more but make them more unhappy.

Each person has the power to seek out different then whether have know, or the power to seek out the help they may need to be different from what they have experienced. Happiness for some might take a little more work than for others. The first step to finding happiness is to not look outside yourself for happiness, but in appreciating who you are, and realize that your happiness begins with you. Because, as long as you continue to look outside of yourself to find happiness you will never find the happiness you desire. The second thing is to remember that life is complicated and it takes work. You can’t get caught up judging yourself and comparing yourself to the people and things that you see. You have to find the things that bring you joy and make you comfortable,. Sometimes finding the happiness you seek means separating yourself from everything that you’ve known, and bravely seeking out the unknown to find what better suites you.

Are you allowing your past and circumstances to be your excuse??

Making Lemonade

As I move through my life I am always shocked at those moments that happen so unexpectedly. When you land in the place you least expect to be, or meet someone that you know, just knowing them will make a difference in your life. In the past few days I have been able to look at my life and see just that happening to me. 

I realized that I had landed somewhere happily that I could not have imagined I would be two years ago, and met people along the way that have or I know will have an impact on my life, and all I can be is grateful.  Grateful that all though it was not the path I had seen for myself I couldn’t be happier to be on it. But, more grateful that I was not trying to force my will, but allowing things to move a they were suppose to. 

I am okay with the things that didn’t happen, that I thought I would. I am okay with the plans that fell through. All because I am grateful for all that I do have. It may not be the plan I saw for myself, but it is the one I am living. As I say for every lemon I am handed it just helps me make a better pitcher of lemonade. 

Are you making lemonade with your lemons?

When The Romance Is Over

The hardest thing for most people to do is to change the dynamics of a relationship.

We can use all kinds of excuses for why we continue a romantic relationship that we know we should end, but the only real answer is fear. The fear of being alone, the fear that your financial situation will change, the fear that the other person can’t handle it, or the fear that they will no longer be in your life if the dynamics change.

The mistake that most of us make is that we go into our relationships romantic and platonic alike treating the relationship more like a procession, than relationships. We implement all of these rules and restrictions of how we think things should be in stead of and in some cases never really cultivating true friendships. It’s all or nothing. The sad thing is because of this all of nothing attitude people miss out on wonderful relationships.

Unfortunately many of us have been programmed to believe that if we are no longer going to be romantic with someone, than we can no longer be in each other’s lives, or worst we believe we have to be enemies. This belief is far from true. First of all you can never have a real romance if there was never a friendship. If there is true friendship in any relationship, time, distance, nor circumstances should be able to disrupt your friendship. If your relationship was romantic you should be able to remain friends whether you are still romantically involved or not. The ruth is some people make better friends than they do lovers.

If two people really care about each other they should be able to have honest conversations with each other about their wants, needs, and desires, and there is no need to be fearful. That is what a real friendship is, and if two people really care about each other just because the romance is over doesn’t mean they can’t be friends it only means that the dynamics have changed.

Are you missing out on some friendships???

Why We Cheat

The cheating that can go on in relationships is always a touchy subject, but it’s the one topic that you can’t just look at your partner, but you must also look at yourself. What you have to remember is that both parties are responsible when one or both cheats in the relationship.

People for whatever the reason seem to feel that once you’re in a relationship you no longer have to work at the relationship, or that once you are in a committed relationship the other person should just take you as you are, or whatever you morph into. That to some degree is true, but if you’re not working at your relationship, not being kind and considerate, you let yourself go, or your are always nagging your partner, what would make you think that your partner isn’t going to look outside of the relationship for a little bit of happiness?

Nobody ever just cheats. There is always more to it. It could be the other persons lack of self confidence, it could be feelings of neglect, and it could be that they woke up one day and realized that they were somewhere that they really should be. Whatever the reason trying to find what it is that they think they need or will make them happy.

You see it’s not about being mad, it’s not about being hurt, it’s not about feeling like you have failed, but what it is about communication. The two of you need to see if you can figure out what the problem is. You need to figure out if the problem is something that can be worked out or if it is time to move on.

Here’s the thing, if you can work things out you might have a better relationship than you started out with, but working it out is going to start with communication, understanding, and forgiveness. It will mean addressing the situations that need addressing, and moving on.

If it’s time to move on you have to realize that moving on isn’t always a bad thing. You might be moving away from a situation that you shouldn’t have been in, in the first place, or maybe your have outgrown each other and you are moving in different directions, but whatever it is you need to graciously move forward and wish each other well. Don’t be mad, don’t hold a grudge, wish The other person well, and move on to what is for you.

Are you taking care of your relationship?

Pay Attention To The Backstory

Many times we end up in relationships and we can’t understand why the other person does or doesn’t do something. We assume that they know better, but what we forget is that we each have a backstory; those events from our past that have helped to shape and mold who we have become. 

We all assume that other people know what we know. Not just how to behave in public or how to use their napkin, but how to treat others, especially the person that they are romantically involved with. Remember we each only know what we were taught. If we witnessed abuse then that might be what we think love is. What most of us were never taught is that with each new person that you bring in to your life you become the student and the teacher.  You have to teach someone how to treat you and you must learn how to treat them. 

As the student it is important that you pay attention in class, because there is always something to learn from and about your new teacher. If you observe carefully they will tell you more about themselves without ever having to open their month. 

As the teacher you have to not only show up as yourself, but you must teach the other person how to treat you. You can’t assume that they know anything, because if they fail a test you are the only one to blame for not supplying your student with all the information needed. 

We always assume that someone knows how to treat us or talk to us, but truth is you can’t know what you’re not told. 

Are you being a good student and a good teacher?

Remembering What Is Important

There are many things that we can find to worry about, or to be upset about. There are things that we choose to dwell on and allow to stress us out. But, if we were to really think about those things and put them in perspective we would realize how insignificant they really are. The unfortunate thing is that it takes some form of a challenge for most people to realize how they have neglected their life focusing on things that don’t really need to be focused on.

Unfortunately, in our society it’s almost like we have been programmed to go to the negative instead of trying to find and focus on the positive in every situation. We spend our time attending pity parties, trying to one up each other on the negative things going on in our lives, instead of embracing and celebrating the positive things in our lives.

Tomorrow, the next year, or the next minute are not promised. For that reason our focus should be loving, respecting and honoring ourselves, and taking the time to bring good into the lives of others. 

Life is for living and you shouldn’t wait for some major event to happen to realize what is really important to you. No matter what is going on in your life if you dwell on the negative will only get you more negative. If you want positive, you must focus on thepositive.  Only positive energy can lift you out of the darkness. You should live each day to the fullest and embrace what is important to you every minute or everyday.

What is really important to you??

Love and blessings,

The Relationship Road of Deception

There is no handbook to teach uswhat is right or wrong in a relationship, but there is being honest with yourself about what you want and need, and being honest with the person you’re in a relationship with. 

Too many times we meet someone, and we stay on our best behavior. We go into the relationship continuing to stay on our best behavior afraid of letting the other person see who we really are. The thing is you are not only lying to the other person about who you are, but we are lying to yourself. You are not only denying yourself an opportunity to be happy, but worst you are denying the other person the opportunity of knowing how amazing you are. 

A relationship is between two people and you cannot expect your relationship to be like someone else’s relationship, nor can you or should you expect it to be like a relationship that you’ve had before. No one can tell you what is right or wrong for you and your relationship, and listening to others tell you what you should and should not do is sometimes the biggest mistake people make in regards to their relationship. Only you know what will work for you and your partner. 

A relationship must have honesty, communication, and respect. If you cannot be honest with yourself about yourself, and honest with your partner about who you are, what you need, and what you want, then you will never be able to have a relationship that makes you happy, but instead you will continue to be in search of a happy and loving relationship. 

Are you on the road of deception in your relationship or are you on the road of honesty?

The Fear of Falling In Love

The funny thing about life is that most of us don’t live it, we fear it. We fear being vulnerable, being seen as weak, and making mistakes. We fear loving someone else, and being hurt. We fear the future and the what if’s? But, how can you live if you never have experiences. We worry too much about things that haven’t happened instead of experiencing and enjoying the right now. 

This fear that we have trickles into every aspect of our lives, but where fear rears it’s ugly head the most is in our relationships. Most people don’t believe that true love exist, but that is because in most cases they haven’t learned to truly love themselves. Without love of self how can a person be expected to know how to love someone else? Then there are the people that believe in Love, but don’t believe it can happen for them, not because they don’t know how to love themselves, but because they are afraid to open up and love another. There are only a small number of people that believe in love, know how to show their love,  and are in loving relationships. 

So, here it is. Fear is the only real obstacle in life that stands between you and what you desire. The trick to having the relationship you desire is to not anticipate and fear all the sometimes seemingly negative emotional experiences that you think can happen, but to stay in a loving state with yourself and in a loving state about that which your desire. 

There are many reasons why we fear relationships, but the source of our fear comes from our own bad choices, or our trying to force a relationship that may not be right for us. It could be someone is not emotionally available, we look for a relationship with someone who doesn’t want to be in a relationship , we don’t want to let go when a relationship is over, or we insist on trying to change someone to fit what we want them to be. None of these are good situations, but they are the ones that most people find themselves in and they are the situations that discourage and make people fear relationships. 

Never fear love.  Love who you are and stay open that you will find someone who will love you for all that you are. 

Do you love fearlessly??

You Get What You Ask For

Each of us can say at one point or another we’ve prayed to God and asked for something. It could have been a spouse, a job, a house, or a car. Changes came in your life that you didn’t understand, and didn’t resemble what you expected. You looked at your life and thought to yourself, but “I prayed to God.” But, do you really know what you asked for?

Many times in our efforts to change our lives in what we hope will be a positive way we make our list, we say our prayers, and we wait. Soon things begin to happen, and they don’t look like what we thought they would, or even the way we wanted them to look. In turn we become frustrated and sometimes begin lose faith. What we never take into consideration is “How did we ask, and What did we ask for?”

What you didn’t realize is that you showed up with your list, and your rules and regulation of how you feel things should be, and it isn’t that your prayers weren’t heard. It’s in how you asked, and if you really look at the situation closely you got exactly what you asked for.

Sometimes we want what we want so badly that we don’t realize that we are not always positive in our asking. The mistake we make is that we start in the negative. The negative is not so much in our list of what we want, but in the constant talking about what we don’t want, or don’t like instead of focusing on what we want or need.

No matter what it is that you desire, that should be what you focus on–what you desire. You should not focus on, or constantly talk about the things that you don’t want in your life. In the asking, first and foremost you should always ask for what is best for you, and that it comes at the right time, in the right way. Things may not always come the way that you want them to, but they always come the exact way they are supposed to.

How are you asking for what you want?

The Realistic Happy Ending

What is the Realistic Happy Ending? It’s about being with the person that you can’t imagine your life without.

We have all heard the story of Snow White and the Prince. We have all heard “that they lived happily ever after”. The thing is no one has ever told us what “Happily Ever after is. We all have our preconceived notions of what we think a relationship or marriage should be like, but the thing is that we never really know what our relationship is going to be like, and only we can write the story. 

When you find fault with your own story because it’s not exactly like someone else’s or it not the way you think it should be then you are being unrealistic. The unrealistic “Happy Ending” is when your try to make your story exactly like someone else’s, and you beat yourself up mentally as well as your partner for not doing things the way that your parents did them or the way your other examples before you might have done them. 

Every relationship is unique and should be treated as such. There is no true right way or wrong way, just the way that you and your partner decide your relationship is going to be. It’s not about how someone tells you your life or relationship should be, but about the path you and your partner decide to walk down together. It’s more than possible to have a beautiful and loving relationship, but you have to start with knowing yourself, and doing your best to know your partner, and not trying to live you life the same way someone else lived theirs. Instead you have to create your own happy journey. 

Communication is the key, and with good communication you can write your own fairytale. 

Are you living your realistic happy ending?

The hardest thing for most people to do is to change the dynamics of a relationship.

We can use all kinds of excuses for why we continue a romantic relationship that we know we should end, but the only real answer is fear.

If two people really care about each other they should be able to have honest conversations with each other about their wants, needs, and desires, and there is no need to be fearful. That is what a real friendship is, and if two people really care about each other just because the romance is over doesn’t mean they can’t be friends it only means that the dynamics have changed.

The Game of Love

We desire to love and be loved, but it isn’t always so easy to obtain what we desire. Many of us have learned by our examples from our families and the media, as well as our own experiences on how to go about finding and being in a relationship. We keep trying to repeat the same patterns over and over again, and when they don’t work we want to know why. What we forget is that each person and each relationship is different, and although there can be some similarities no two people or relationships can ever be alike.

We want to believe that there is this one magical solution to a successful relationship, but there isn’t. We want finding someone to be easy, and we want the relationship to be perfect, but the game of love is no different than the playing your favorite sport. To be good at it, or to get to the play-off’s it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and focus.

Love is no different than Basketball, you can’t win the game by yourself. If you have ever played a sport you know that it requires practice, discipline, trial and error, research, learning your teammates strengths and weaknesses as well as your own, observation, communication, and dedication, but most of all it takes team work.

We can all have the relationship that we desire, but it requires that we put as much effort into the finding and maintaining of the relationship as we would any other goal that we would work to achieve.

Are you showing up to the game to win?

In Search of Love

We all desire that magical feeling called love.The average person can’t actually describe love, and yet we all desire what we imagine it to be. 

Instead of starting with ourselves to find our happiness and the love we desire most people search outside of ourselves expecting someone else to show them their worth, and give their lives meaning. What many people forget is that to first find the love they desire all starts with them loving themselves, so they can understanding what it is they are really in search of. 

A relationship should enhance your life, not be your life. The mistake that people make is letting their loneliness and need for companionship get in the way of finding the best relationship for them. There are many people that don’t know or don’t take the time to figure out what it is they need and want from a relationship, but instead go into a relationship trying to make it what they think it should be. Along the way they never take into account what the other person wants and needs, or what the other person thinks a relationship should be. 

The search for love has to start with you. It’s about you loving you, and knowing what you need and what in your life and in your relationships. It’s about finding the person that has the same or similar needs, wants and values that you do, and not expecting someone to change to fit what your perception of a relationship should be. 

The pot of gold is always at the end of the rainbow. The reason most people can’t find it is because in most cases they are just too lazy to do the work it will take to get there. 

Are you being honest in your search for love???

Taking Risk

It’s easy to do the things that we think are expected of us, and easier to do things the way someone else has done them before us, but some of the greatest rewards in life come from the chances we are willing to take to make change in not just our own lives but in the lives of others.

We allow our fear, fear of being wrong, fear of what others might think, or fear of being made a fool to hold us back, believing that it’s in someway this fear is keeping us safe, but in many cases what our fear is doing is stopping us from moving forward and truly living our lives. It is stopping us from the possibility of the greatness we desire.

Sometimes it’s worth losing everything, our money and most of all our pride in order to receive our true rewards. You have to remember that there is a blessing in every situation whether it is pleasant or challenging. A situation may not be the blessing or reward you were looking for, but it will be the exact one that you need.

Are there risks you need to take???

Love and blessings in divine order,
