Getting Real

Many times the best thing to do is nothing.  Simply waiting can be the most difficult thing in the world.  Yet, it can “make us” or “break us” in a heartbeat.  In one fell swoop it can be “over” or “just beginning.”

Most of all the fast food version of life is not what is wanted.  It is usually well worth the wait for something great.  So get in line and let it just take time.  In the event of it being longer than expected (life usually is) continue with kindness towards others.  Continue with a smile.  Continue with a good sense of humor.  Life might depend on it.

To those who make life “difficult” for others – please… STOP.

 

Say, “Yes.”

Some say that the “secret” to success is such and such.  There is no secret.  It is out in the open.  There is nothing hidden that won’t be found out.

Yes, it does help to keep a positive and upbeat attitude but that is not always the reason(s) behind true motivation and success.  Try to do what works best for you.  It may not be what your neighbor does but it makes finding a good pathway easier for you.  Having an individual plan is sometimes as easy as just making a list.  Other times it might be a more complex struggle and require more thought.

Once you’ve established your footsteps on a path that leads to good things (honesty, integrity, and loyalty).  You’ll certainly be able to stay on that path if you endeavor to do so.  That is where real determination enters the picture.  It is one thing to be “motivated” and quite another to “do” what is needed.

It won’t always be an easy way.  There will be mountains, rivers, and even oceans to cross. The “destination” may seem impossible to reach but stay with the program.  Eventually, there will be welcome tides of change.  Then you’ll have to figure out just how to deal with all of the elation!

The Heartbeat

Realize there is never a time to call it “quits” or to say, “It is over simply.”  There will always or should always be a goal or two in place.  This keeps everything moving forward.  Sometimes, it is seemingly “easier,” but don’t rest.  Instead, only “reset.”

Be prepared for every challenge by taking it in stride.  Don’t hide from the facts.  Face them and go on.  Everything is “easy” when it is someone else.  However, take to heart the advice that is given and listen.  Then make your decision(s).
