The Game...

Good morning, my Friend! How are you?

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them ...

Work
Family
Health
Friends
Spirit...
and you're keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls...family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass.
If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.

They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?

1. Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself
with others. It is because we are different that each of
us is special.

2. Don't set your goals by what other people deem
important. Only you know what is best for you.

3. Don't take for granted the things closest to your
heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without
them, life is meaningless.

4. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or too far in the future. By living your life one day
at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

5. Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

6. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us together.

7. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking
chances that we learn how to be brave.

8. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible
to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the
fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the
best way to keep love is to give it wings.

9. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only
where you've been, but also where you are going.

10. Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional
need is to feel appreciated.

11. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, it's
a treasure you can always carry easily.

12. Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be
retrieved.

There are never times when I am powerless, just times when I forget who I AM.

Eyes Wide Open...

Sooner or later I think we all learn that intimacy aren't bonds for a relationship. Kisses aren't contracts to a union between souls, and presents aren't promises, nor are they guarantees.

Then you begin to awkwardly accept your defeats...With your head up and your eyes wide-open. You accept that person for who they really are. Loving them in spite of...what they do...what they don't do.

I have learned to build all my roads on Today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans...I have learned that futures have a way of falling down...in mid-flight.

You dream, but those dreams, at times, tumble onto insecurity. So then you learn that you really can endure...No matter what.

You learn and learn and learn, through each and every joy and pain. Never take what someone does as a personal attack against you. You learn that you really do have worth...and you learn that you really are loved. In spite of...all that comes your way.

With every Hello and every stinking Good-bye...you learn.

Just some thoughts from this tired brain of mine!
