Life Lessons

So many lessons are learned after you have  come full circle. But why wait until the dire end to learn your lessons? How about we learn our lessons during our struggles prior to our struggles or to even prevent the struggles. What are you doing today to better yourself, your relationships or your family unit? 

Proactivity is the one of THEE best virtues to embody.  If you think before hand, plan before hand, you avert before hand. Crisis thwarted. And that is the idea isn't? No one likes fall out no one likes having to explain what went wrong. And sometimes no one likes to apologize. 

Work as if everyone is your partner. Work as if your goal will be attained. Work as if failure is not the option. Work as if naysayers do not exist. Believe in the power of positive thinking.  Train your brain. Train your body.  Believe that you can, believe that you will. Success comes at a price,  but don't let it be love or family. Know who loves you but care less who loathes you. 

No one person accomplished all their goals without the help of someone or something. Animate or inanimate. Breathing or not. We pick things to control our passions, fuel our fires, and support our beliefs and dreams. 

The next time you are at the end of a lesson wondering why it had to end with a failure and a destitute spirit,  remember you could have averted it with a little mind control, planning, and support. Sometimes people will say you are fooling yourself but don't let that fool you.  You really know what it takes to motivate you. Speak it out and listen to yourself. Plan to win.

Happystance.

Wow. It has been quite awhile since I wrote.  I have approached the blank blog page several times but  fear took over because the notion of what I might right will be uninteresting and beige. I realize however, that every time I wrote, I never really led myself to one particular subject or another. As I write, the thoughts and ideas ignite and it ends up turning into "something".

Today, I write about happiness. How do you approach the pursuit of happiness? Are you pursuing it? You should be. What do you think you should do? Wait for it to knock on your doorstep in the still of the night like a masked intruder with force and dominance? That is not how it works my darlings. You must run and run fast towards happiness. You must bait a trap, set a trap, and capture it as if your life depended on it for your life source. After all, without it what IS life? Do you ever wonder why you are put here?  You are put here to exist, but existing isn't just the breath of life, it is the action, the reaction, the pursuits, the loves, the losses and everything that occurs in between.

People always say, don't chase it, let it find you. I call bullshit.  I would be damned if I wait for happiness to come to me!  Why delay the  chance to smile, to find love, to feel joyous?

Truth Be Told:  Don't wait until it's too late to start pursuing your "silly" dream or your "pipe" dream. And stop calling it that.  Call it YOUR dream and start NOW. Why wait? Writing makes me happy and I have delayed it way too long,  welcome back self!
