....So, Start Searching

It's A Myth...But Not Really

"Your respect is as high as your demand and with the love you have to give, she cant help but pause her time hoping that you will find her. You're the one good thing that's left so she has nothing but time to give. You know how to point out the worth in others but your downfall is you have yet to find the worth in yourself. To find it is to find her, so start searching.." and this is just a myth..it will never happen in the way you expect it..so be decisive..if you wanna settle, settle, if you don't wanna, keep it moving.

Reflections: Decisions When You're Young

When you're young, you just wanna have fun. Sometimes it's limitless and reckless, but it's fun, right? Well, the reality of it is that some don't make it out of the phase without long-term or even life-long reminders of where they went wrong and how they should've listened to their "mom's" wise words. But, while you contend with the "scars" from your past, where is your "party-animal" now? How has it helped you to deal with the issues? Where is the liquor? Has the dare-devil been exorcised? As far as I see it, the best way to learn if to look at the mistakes of others. 

Become familiar with the term "delayed gratification". It's not a popular term in our day, age and generation. We want it now. Instantaneously. 

I'm not gonna sit around this desk, write the blog entry and tell you that I've been this perfect person. For me to be writing this to you, it took a certain amount of experience and analysis of it to come to these conclusions. Yes, this is just a reflection on my life.So:
1. There is no halfway. You're either bad or good.
2. Mistakes are stepping stones. Become stronger from downfalls.
3. Do not worry about going slowly. Worry about being stagnant.
4. Better choices save you time, money and tears.
5. Friends MAKE you or BREAK you.

Is It What It Is? Can You Change It?

It is what it is, it's not what it's not..sometimes it also is what it's "not" and of course, sometimes it's NOT what it "is".

What am I saying? My belief in "fate" and "destiny" is really limited when I plug "freedom of choice" into the equation.

It is a fact that decision making and that factors that affect it can change the course of your life forever.

I like to liken life to my favorite sport, basketball. Basketball is a game of runs. Sometimes you're on a roll, scoring a lot of points, making good defensive plays, then the opponent either steps it up or you get complacent and you begin losing momentum, and you end up trailing and if you don't catch yourself and go on another run, you lose the game.

Pro-Basketballers have film sessions after each game, win or lose. In film sessions, they watch the tape of the game. They evaluate the game, see what could be better, and see what else they can do to exploit their opponent in the next game.

I think that in life, we should have regular film sessions. We should regularly evaluate where we are, what we're doing and what we can do to enhance our experience for best results.

In my next post I will explore how this could have helped me to avoid my latest "tragedy".
