Is It Just Me?

Is it just me or is technology getting so advanced that it’s challenging just understanding the basics? No matter how difficult the equipment may be to use, we are brainwashed to think that we need the newest model that comes to the market. The commercials and ads make them sound as if we can’t live without them. And they seem to be so easy to use. Just click here and press this, you are quickly able to access any application that has now come available. Then why is it when we get our new phone, tablet, or computer everything becomes so confusing. It’s not that we can’t understand, but nothing is the same as they presented it to be. When did we let technology run away from us? We gave up our control when we let others decide what is acceptable. Waiting over thirty minutes on the phone to get assistance and being okay with that needs to stop. We may have no choice but to take courses in technology, go back to writing with a pen and paper, using a land line, or go to the library and looking things up the old fashion way. Since that won’t ever happen, we need to get as comfortable as we can while we wait on the phone to get the support we need.

 

I love libraries…

Look No Further Than Yourself

Why is it that some people have more fortunate lives? They don’t seem to be worried about their finances, relationships or career choices. Life seems fairly simple. But what do you really know about their personal lives? If you were to ask them what they think about your life, they may tell you that you are in a better situation than they are. Whether you know it or not you are presenting the reality that you want others to see. This means that if you’re not a person who shares a lot about themselves, you probably haven’t revealed any of the challenges you are going through at the moment. The same thing may be happening with the people around you. In fact, everyone may be going through their own difficulties but like yourself they are keeping it to themselves. That’s why being envious or jealous of others only leads you on a path which is not your own. Believing that what ever your circumstances are now, in a minute your fortune could change to bring you exactly where you were meant to be. Have faith in the Universe, there is more happening in your life than you realize.

 

I have difficulty telling them apart…

It's Going To Be A Great Day!

How many times have you gotten up in the morning declaring that you’re going to have a great day? You have that feeling that everything is going to go your way. Leaving the house with a smile on your face you ready for whatever comes your way. But during the course of the day, someone at work, school, or on the road does something to ruin the moment. What started as the best day ever turned quickly to the worst. Just by a few hurtful words or an offensive attitude, your smile has turned into a frown. From the top of your head to the bottom of your toes, you become tense and are ready to fight. But take a deep breathe and step back. Since when did you give up the power to direct your day. At what point, did you give up control and let the other person take over. Remember you have a choice to orchestrate your life. I’ll give five minutes to rant and rave, to whine and cry, to yell and pout. But then gather yourself and shout, “No one has the power to ruin my day!” Now stand tall, head up, and move on. Life is too short to give away your days to anyone. You deserve all the great days that come your way.

 

It’s going to be a great day…

The Beauty of Nature

Have you ever notice the beauty of nature’s imperfection? Look around and you will see trees that are bent and misshapen from the wind are now works of art, flowers whose petals have long fallen off but yet hold their subtle scents, and rocks whose sharp edges have been worn smooth by the flowing rivers. Like nature, you are beauty personified. You may not feel perfect, but yet your spirit shines through like a glowing star. It’s not in perfection that you’ll find your value, but through your uniqueness. Beauty is not always recognized so easily but experienced through our senses.  Understanding that there is perfection in the imperfect, you will begin to experience life more fully.

 

Perfection…

It's Your Time

No matter what changes come your way, know that you are here to meet them head on. There is no where you’re supposed to be then right where you are. It is time for you to believe in yourself for you have what it takes to turn things around to fit your needs. You’ve sat on the side lines for a while now and watched others move forward. Unsure of where you were headed, it seemed better to stay where you were. But now, you feel an urge to do something more in your life. You don’t need to know all the details at this time. Just know that the changes you seek are right around the corner. Be ready for here they come.

Let’s play…

     

Planning For The Future

Sometimes it’s a good idea to look at where you are before planning where you are going. If you are not in the right frame of mind right now you may be setting yourself up for failure. Wanting to escape where you are may have you moving or quitting a job before you truly understand the reason why you feel the urge to runaway.  As challenging as this may sound, in order to be successful in the future you may need to be realistic about what is going on in your life at the moment. The more you know about who you are, the more you’ll know where you are going.

 

City progress continues…

It's Okay To Be Happy

Although the world is in so much turmoil and there is suffering, there is still healing in the world. The news may concentrate on all the evil that is happening, but there is still good that exists amongst us. Many may say that the world is falling apart, but if that was true there wouldn’t be an equal amount of compassion that shines through every day. If you were to truly open your eyes you would witness not only the selfishness and greed that some demonstrate, but the goodness that many are sharing with their fellow man. It’s okay to be happy and to have hope that you can make a difference. For it’s all the shining lights around the world that will lead us out of the darkness.

 

The light will lead us out of the darkness…
