Star Searching ~SP~

The next time you look up at the stars and wonder where life will lead you, remember who is in control of your life. YOU! Never forgot that each day we rise, life presents to us choices to make that ultimately dictate the direction of our wind. As you may know the wind is able to change its course of direction at will, so why can't we? Instead of investing time in the past, our failed paths and poor choices made, why not give life to new roads waiting to be cemented? Now I find myself in control of each decision I make, searching for the best choices and not being satisfied with any CHOICE, but the right choice. I control the direction of my wind, now you must control yours!

Don't cheat yourself!

Don't cheat yourself out of the success, happiness and peace of mind you deserve. Life provides in it the tools for us to attain. Through attainment keep in mind sacrifices must be made, commitments must be met and time must be managed. You control your destiny, why not make your journey worthwhile!

Don't Create A Monster!

Emotional control is vital for personal growth. To be able to sort through and understand a vast amount of emotions, one must be willing to challenge "SELF". The closer you become to understanding "Who you are?", happiness will become more attainable on a daily basis. Do you want to be happy? Are you willing to over come self doubt? It's important to feed our positive emotions with a self awareness in recognizing the things that make us happy. Recognize the people who make you smile, the things you do that put a smile on your face and the dreams you sleep with at night that bring peace to your heart. Don't create a monster! When you feed emotions with negativity, fury or without a soul you are creating a monster within. A monster feeding on every nerve, vein, bone, brain, physical well-being, emotional and mental health. A monster that feeds on pity, anger and loss of confidence. A monster that will essentially take over your state of mind and grow as much as you allow it to.

Emotional control is vital for personal growth. Understand your emotions. What has created your emotions? Something good or bad? A memory, experience or sentiment? It's alright to feel down, express yourself to others you trust and release the pain. Allow negative emotions to exit your system. Find your support group. A relative, friend or anyone you know that you feel comfortable around to speak with at any time. Emotions will challenge us everyday. The key is to determine who will win today's battle? You or your emotions? When your emotions get the best of you, stop, breathe and gather yourself. Life is more than a frown. Don't create a monster! Live. Love. Laugh.

Happy 4th of July

We live in a society and world that challenges us on a daily basis. Rising above each and every obstacle thrown our way may feel overwhelming at times. We ponder questions like "Do I have the strength, courage or will to fight"? Ability to win and soar tomorrow? Sometimes life travels at a pace where we find it hard to catch our breath. We wonder what challenges are next to conquer? Can I ever catch a break? Why me? Life isn't fair? But learn to accept these obstacles. Life is about making adjustments and learning to acquire the answers unknown to us today. If tomorrow is within our grasp, then we have learned what today's obstacles have allowed us to achieve. A foundation only remains solid if the right ingredients are cemented together. Rise above yesterday's failure, today's confusion for clarity tonight. Wake up tomorrow and look at everything you set your eyes on with a different view. You will slowly start to see that if you rise above all, life through new heights presents a clear road map towards success, happiness and peace. RiSe.

A balance act

Life is about maintaining balance. Understanding the equilibrium between good and evil. Achieving peace, harmony, and an open mind to a world that infiltrates our judgement on a daily basis is far from perfection, but indeed manageable. Control your actions, reach your dreams, and overcome tribulations by reaching a balance today! Discover your strengths, understand your weaknesses, and grow from each experience. Good or bad every experience provides growth. Failing to learn from either outcome will continue to provide the same results. You decide your fate!

Good-bye Kisses

Far from my lips you no longer keep them moist. You woke up one morning, and chose to walk right out my life. Gone are the days of  locking lips through kisses so sweet, and sincerely missed. As Stephen King inspires through his novels a reader to rush towards the next chapter to see what details are awaiting an anticipated reader. Such is the same for a kiss that no longer awaits us, says good-bye, and a new love is our next chapter in life. Good-bye kisses are never easy, but one thing remains to never be forgotten..."Love has a way of finding those who love, love right back".

A road can curve at any time

A simple thought, vision, or goal is as complex as we make them out to be. How soon we achieve our desired results is going to come down to one key component. This key component can be the difference between success and failure. "Consistency" one word, but the result of actions unlocked over and over again. Consider success like a straight road with no dead ends. As far as you continue on this path successfully is the experience, wealth, excitement, fun, gratitude, and most importantly these consistent behaviors practiced will allow you to travel limitless. Now let's look at failure like a road that curves and runs into a dead ends. This can be a result of not being able to take your vision and expand its horizons. A lack of faith that does not let you see your will within to continue to be consistent. "Consistency" is the result of a behaviors practiced more than once. In order to lose weight, earn a new job, save up for your favorite vacation trip, or read 50 books in one year is a result of "Consistency". Act as if you will conquer or fail, because you do not allow your ship to sail. Find your straight road and allow your journey to travel far.

Moments you would love to freeze in time.....

Upon picking up my daughter at daycare today she gave me a different kind of a smile. A smile that was so rare through my eyes that I wish I could freeze her smile from that moment forever. A "In the moment smile" . Her smile captured her heart beat that drummed to the acknowledgement of my arrival. She replied " Daddy I'm so happy to see you" ....."I've missed you. I always miss you, but love how you make me smile when I see you" .......Love the feeling of being able to bring that type of joy to my daughter who is an owner of my heart and soul.......
