Life is Certain

In order to get what you have never had you have to let something’s go. We’ve become accustomed to life as usual.  We don’t see the need to change or haven’t figured out if life would be any different if we do. We hold on being too afraid to let go, allowing life to live itself instead of us living it.  We’re entrapped by the excuses we have used time and again to barricade around us and the only way to set ourselves free if we unlock our mind to new discoveries.  The certainty of life invokes to non-disclosed guidelines. The first is that you are given life, to use as you deemed fit. The second is that death will come to us all and waiting for it to happen, make’s you unappreciative and unproductive. Living up to “your” potential is how you let go of the uncertain things in your life. Uncertainty behavior’s makes for unhealthy relationships. And relationship building is the core of any good thing. Relatively speaking life is not what you make of it, it is what you make out of it. It’s ok to feel uneasy when your uncertain, but I rather feel uneasy than unaware of  the fact that holding on to nothing for the rest of my life will be a guaranteed lose situation and that’s for certain.

Bedside Manner

Sometimes we judge our day according to how our morning starts off. Some of us wake up on the wrong side of bed. But when I hear that saying I often wonder what the right side is? Does it mean that you had a pleasant nice rest, or that you had a wonderful dream? Is the wrong side, the side where you don’t often sleep? It gets quite confusing but I understand what it means to have one of those mornings where sleep played no part of how you felt waking up. I went to sleep with things on my mind and woke up with them. When we let things fester they tend to take control over our psyche and it plays out within our behavior. I thought by going to the gym on this morning that I would release some tension. I also thought that getting something to eat would also make me feel better. But when I came into work I saw a gentleman who I haven’t seen in months greet me at the door. I walked over to him and told him how happy I was to see him and that he was missed. He told me that he went in to the doctors for a routine checkup and never left the hospital until after surgery. We are all so fortunate just to wake up in the morning. And we miss out on not appreciating the fact that our lives are important. What we do and how we do it is an indicator to how the rest of our day will be. No more missing the point. You are granted more than nine lives. Sleep or lack of should never order your day. Put your mind in check. And once you realize how your life could be, you’ll be more than thankful, you will be grateful.

Making it until You Made it

We are all fascinated by Big City Living. Living in one of the largest metropolitan cities that attract the attention of the world, it's hard not to compete in order to live up to its standard. You can get caught in the rigorous ways of making it until you feel that you have made it. This city has the zest and flare to make dreams come true, but not everyone outlives their dreams. I for one have been fortunate enough to know that with perseverance comes and even harder push to succeed and to get by. It has not been easy, a tedious journey but it has been well worth the tears. At times it left me a bit confused as to why I was putting myself through something that I didn't have to really go through. I could have left and carried back home with me, a half empty suitcase with a broken wheel. Leaving behind what I didn’t finish, I knew deep down inside that I would had chance the opportunity to see the payoff from enduring.  When you leave business unfinished, you leave with questions unanswered. I would have lost a great deal from what I have gained so much from. After while it started to make sense, everything that I was doing wasn’t for noting. I had plans and goals in mind and everything that I was experiencing was leading up to every moment of my life with purpose intent. It’s a jungle everywhere and there is something that you can do about it. We all  experience changes; yes we have to adapt to change. But wherever you are no matter how big or small your city is, you can make your dream come alive by making it to look not as it seems, but how you made it to be.

Make A Wish

“Spending an eternity trying to find what we’re looking holds barriers to our dreams”

There are desires that are hidden beneath the core of our thoughts that has not resonated since childhood. Children are taught to live out their dreams and makes wishes in order for their dreams to come true. Just a simple wish can get you what you want. But you have to spend time not only wishing but making plans to live out your dreams. We all wanted to live in some distant place far away from here and be able to do as we please, careless and free. Living out a dream is similar to living in a fairytale, everything is made up just the way we want it to be.  Life is funny when you put it into perspective.  It teaches us in so many ways to obtain and we overlook it. Childhood prepared us to look forward to life and to hold on to our dreams. Once the dream is gone you tend to fade away. Some of us knew what we wanted to be when we grew up and others didn’t have a clue but had fun trying different things out. Life teaches us the semantics behind the importance of growing up and learning. But dreams taught us how to live without barriers. Before you lay your head down tonight make a wish, to dream a dream that will foretell of your future and once you get a glimpse of your future, start planning for it.

Circumstances in Retrospect

We familiarize ourselves with the things of our past by recalling those things that are supposed to be behind us.  A few of us are stuck trying to relive and make believe that if I do it again a different way things will be better this go round.  There is no way to avoid the past and there is definitely no way to remake the past, the past has out lived itself. Who we are now is no comparison to who we were then. You have moved from a place of mistakes to maturity. People who continually make the same mistakes don’t necessarily learn from them. They are the people who we all should avoid. Mature minded people take from past mistakes, own up to it and then move on. But when circumstances hit our lives, we are then thrust to reflect back. Apologies never get old nor do they do they go out of style. If you have to apologies do it now, so you can move on even if they can’t. We are a generation of people who are looking for answers, to solve all of our problems. But when we can’t find the answers we look for other people in similar situations to feed upon. We never really want the truth, because in the truth we will see ourselves differently and that part of us is too painful to bear. The best medicine for this type of pain is to simply be honest.  Honesty is the best policy, especially when lying only delays the pain. And before someone tries to bring up your past that is now behind you to hurt you, show them how immune you are to their poison by injecting them with antidote that saved your life the Truth.
