Deciding or not deciding is still deciding.

I would rather not deal with it is a decision so let’s say you have to choose between a and b, so you decide not to choose either, That’s a decision! I’ve said you choose so that’s a decision, you choose not to choose is a choice and a decision.

Somone says negative things towards you.

You have a decision to make, to react or not to react.Reactions can be part of the problem if you choose to react and let it affect you in a negative way or choose to be happy with yourself and move on.

No one can make you mad!

I heard this from Ken Keys Junior when I read his book “handbook to higher consciousness”

The first book I read was trying to gain insight into me and my choices. Life is a continual growth process as a child you learn from watching, listening and as an adult you repeat some of these things subconscious as well as consciousness.

It takes determination to overcome some of those things we learned that might not suit us for adult hood. Remember, say mom or dad and as soon as you can walk and talk they say sit down and be quite funny right!

Well let’s think of other things like language you learned that got you into trouble, shit I need to fix that!

Saying mean things to others is a starting point that we can improve ourselves on, be nice to ourselves and others at the same time.

In grade school you learned what it was like to be teased or to be the teaser.

I told my children that the difference in then and now as folks got older that they have perfected their actions like getting better a spelling or math, time to fix your shit and move on past the childish things and behavior to considerate action and mindfulness. Watching the news for hours as it repeats over and over is what I believe to be not a healthy thing to do.

Can you spend time reading good things like proverbs that add to your being not taking it down the negative road offered by so many?

This is a choice to make and a way to start loving yourself by saying nice things to people and you! It all starts with you! Everything that you do affects you and probably others around you, take a moment to view you in the crowd and see the truth of you, not the want to be, then make the change to be what you want.

Lord gives me the strength to change the things I can and the understanding to know the difference.

Clarity comes from looking in the mirror with honest eyes and affirming that you are worthy to love yourself and others.

Come on let’s get out there and do things good and not just talk about it.

I’ve told my kids to run hard and fast but look behind you and see the trail you leave.

Choose happiness over anger and choose happy over reactions and responses to others and negative words. Words can make a difference just like a smile can to those who struggle.

Put on listening ears and hear your words as well as to others that are trying to tell you how they feel, you never know what a difference you will make in someone’s life.

Live well God bless you and thanks for visiting the planet.
