Life, or at least what we make of it

Everything

In this

Life

Has consequences

Some good

Some

Bad

Some negligibly noticable

..

But consequences all the same

..

Our perspective or view 

Of those consequences

And related actions

Are

Also ours 

and

part of our life and what creates us

..

It ok to feel, to experience the fullness

Of them.

It ok to pause,

To rethink

And even change 

The

Actions

Or the

Response

But it's not

Ok

To just give up

Learn,

Re-create

Re-evaluate

But

Always carry on

Me

that fairness is not obvious

that fairness is not obvious in every case.

  

Look, we all want life to be fair, right? But

sometimes it just isn't. True? No. False. Life

is always fair -- it sometimes just does not

look that way.

 

You will see how 'fair' life is if you will give

it a chance to play itself out. Wait. See. 

Your Higher Self, which always wants the

best for you, is in charge here. Believe it.

Finding Love

They say

They say that when you are out searching, trying to find love

That really you are trying to find yourself

So when you do eventually slow down,

think about it

and

 find yourself 

That you truly find Love

And that frees you

and

Allows you

to

love

others

You follow your thoughts

You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

Don't part with your illusions

"Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live."

Mark Twain

Life is like a camera

"Life is like a camera,

 just focus on what's important,

 capture the good times,

 develop from the negatives

 and if things don't work out,

 just take another shot."

Feed the hand that bites

There are times in life when parenthood feels like nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you!

Peter De Vries

My father was so ignorant

"When I was 14,

 my father was so ignorant 

I could hardly stand

 to have the old man around.

 But when I got to be 21,

 I was astonished

 at how much he had learned

 in 

7 years." 

Mark Twain

Get Comfortable with Alone

You can’t resolve your problems

"You can’t resolve your problems with

the same kind of thinking that created them!’

Albert Einstein

Only Two days

There are only Two 

days in a year that

nothing can be done.

One is called

"Yesterday"

and

the other is called 

"Tomorrow"

SO, 

today is the right day to

Love,

Believe,

Do,

and 

Mostly Live!

You don't develop courage by being happy

You don't develop courage

 by being happy

 in your relationships everyday.

 You develop it

 by surviving difficult times

 and

 challenging adversity.

~ Epicurus ~

Expectations

Nothing

 presents a bigger obstacle

 to long-lasting happiness

 than expectations

 Forget about

 how you think things

 "should" be

 Therefore,

 expect nothing,

 and take whatever you get.

 Embrace whatever shows up.

 Love what is.

Happiness is always found in the moment

Happiness

 is always found in the moment

 that is here, now.

 Happiness has been sent to you

 in advance

 by God.

 It is here,

 in this moment,

 if you will seize it...

and share it.

- NDW -

Yesterday was Yesterday

Yesterday was Yesterday,

 and

 it has nothing to do with Today.

 You are not who you were

 Yesterday.

 Each moment

 is the

 Moment of Creation.

- NDW -

Some people are like clouds

Some people

 are

 like clouds.

 When they disappear,

 it's a

much

brighter day.

Get and Give

We make a living

 by what we get.

...

 But we make a life

 by what we give.

- Winston Churchill

Always a Student

You are

 always a student,

 never a master.

 You have

 to keep

 moving

 forward.
